king of the assault rifles

The statement was made that the AK series of weapons will function no matter what, every time. I said everybody seems to think that is an absolute fact.

It's not. The AK's need to be maintained just like anything else. They can jam due to poor maintenance, debris, crappy magazines, etc..
More reliable than other "assault rifles"? Probably. I don't have enough experience with them. As you correctly guessed; I wasn't in the Russian military or a Warsaw Pact advisor.


Okay, now I understand your syntax. People say the same thing about the 1911 to, and although in GI form (untuned) it will take a lot of abuse, it will reach a point where it will not reliably function.

BTW, I wasn't being saracastic when I asked if you had been in the Red Army. There are a fair amount of Russian immigrants up in Maine, esp in Southern Maine and a lot of US Military personnel have been advisors in Third World countries that use primarily Warsaw Pact and Russian military weapons.
