Id like to see video evidence myself, but I have seen AKs take some serious abuse and still be functional.
That level of decay though needs more concrete evidence.
Iāll have to wait till Iām home to see it, the website is blocked, and the picture isnāt showing up.
I will share a story that i read out of a firearms magazine though, it was on the āindestructibleā Ak, the story was from an Iraq veteran. He said the insurgents would often lose a fire fight, due to their Kalashnikovs jamming, (probably due to them never cleaning them). After a minute or two of firing their guns would jam, and that would leave them defenseless.
The kind of stories i hear about Aks reliability (which are often without evidence) are on par with the stories about Katanas cutting through Machine gun barrels in world war 2, with how utterly absurd they are. Like the story that U.S soliders in Vietnam would ditch their m16s for Aks they got off of dead Vietcong, which is of course complete horse shit, yet i still see people insisting that happened.
All right i took a look. Iām wiling to bet itās extremely unreliable in that condition, and it wouldnāt surprise me if it jammed frequently. Also thatās a type 56 according to the article, Chinese made, real Aks are only made in Russia donāt you know? 
If the thing actually fires, then that is quite impressive, but my stance has not changed, anyone who believes they donāt need to clean their guns is an absolute fool. Akās do jam, they are just guns, they are not mythical magical weapons. You can find dozens of videos of them failing and jamming.
I do have my serious doubt about it too.
On the other hand the poachers typically catch an animal into a trap, and then shoot it basically as a āsitting duckā. All you need for that is a metal tube (hard enough) and something to hit the primer. Rusted or not, Iād say this should be able to achieve that goal.
You know that here in the Czech Rep, we are not very fond of AKs. Our forces have never used them.
Thatās if you like to shoot drunk. If that is not what you are going for, then you need to buy Finnish. If money is not an issue, then you buy Swiss.
If you like Allah, then going Yugoslav (Serbian) is the way.
So no, Russian is not the only choice.
Damn, I am to late for the tank debateā¦
nevertheless: I like the T-34, I think it is one of the best tanks ins the WWII, at least if it comes to the priceāperformance ratio. For this cheap amount of money a T-34 costs, you get a quite good tank. Not the best tank in the war, but cheap and good. A low budget solution, or good if you want to have a lot of quantity.
German tanks are very good in quality but they are very expesive and often complex in engineering.
I really like the slope armor on the T-34. The german Tiger tank for example does have a horrorble outdated straight armor. The Panther was far better in design in my opinion (apart from the Panther trap without the chin mantle). But the Panther was a german answer on the T-34. I also like the King Tiger, but again, expensive and heavy as hell.
Soā¦ if I had to choose a tank for myself: Maybe a King Tiger. If I had to choose a tank fpr my army: maybe the T-34
I think it quite fun to watch how the russians won the war only with T34, PPSch-41 and Vodka. They donĀ“t even had halftracks. Strange Russiansā¦
if you google ābest tank everā you get this:
And as we all know, internet never lies. So this is actually best tank ever!

Lovely vehicle 
I know, i was just making a jab at the Ak cultists who claim ārealā Aks are only made in Russia.
And a damn near endless supply of man power. 
Very trueā¦
Oh i agree, what me and @Wenceslaus were complaining about is the T-34 circle jerk, the way some people talk about it, you would think itās the greatest thing since sliced bread. The T-34 was a great tank, but letās be honest if the Germans were able to produce as many tanks as the soviets were, the results may have been very different. The amount of T-34s compared to Panthers, Tigers, ect was staggering.

did you guys know that Franz Ferdinand dEste killed 272 439 animals?
He died at 50 years that means that if heād started with hunting at 7. He would have to kill 17 animals per day till the day of his death.
I heard that he would have hundreds at time herded towards him, and then he would just gun them down with a machine gun. If he did that he wouldnāt need to hunt everyday to achieve that number.
fucking mad man, if you ask me.
Machine gun? where is the fun in that?
Well there is this, how ever you still at least have to be a decent shot, and this is for population control. (due to how much damage they cause)
With what Franz Ferdinand did, you wouldnāt even have to really aim just pull the trigger. He was obviously a bit fucked in the head.
So maybe the guy who killed him was from Peta or something? And this leads to first, second world war and the cold war?
Interestingā¦
