@ARTONY92 - because unless you live in Africa, you would have to be a millionaire to afford all the NFA paperwork. We can only dream about owning so many toys :)
South Africa subscribes to the Nato standards for ammunition which is one reason they dont use AK's. A second one is that although the AK has a very good reputation it is a reputation as a solid, cheap, mass produced unbreakable assault rifle. Any expert will tell you that it is not the most efficient or accurate weapon anymore, technology has moved on.
Is this task force operating today or was it before 1994. Because those Izuzu bakkies number plates were GP. But there are too many white people for it to be present day?
They are still operating today but this videos where made a long time ago. They are not allowed to make videos now. There are still a lot of white people in the STF!
Interesting... Now I see where you get your information from. AK47's are very good weapons if you fight like the terrorists... swing and spray... and I know where you can get the amunition really cheap too. So while you're spraying and hoping, one surgical shot from 400 yards, and you're out of your misery. And I know I'm safe, 'cause you can't hit the broad side of a barn at 400 yards. That's why islam will fail... no forethought, and hopes of virgins that don't exist.
nice, quick detach scope mount? those are nice stuff. ever have a problem with holding zero? a buddy of mine has almost sold me on buying one of those systems
your probably right most are probably not in the best shape but i would bet some weapons found (maybe not in this group) would be worth using. In the USA weapons used in crime are destroyed also regardless of if they are in bad shape or not. I think its a waste, when citys can't balance there book they pay to discard good firearms
Most weapons used by those criminals are "bottom of the barrel", and I would certainly not want any of them for my personal protection. I value my life too much to rely on someone else's discard, as I would hope you do. Quality will always pay for itself.
yeah but not all are garbage and not all are discarded some are hunting rifles and shotguns that are taken away. i have seen plenty of nice fire arms that could be sold or used and are destroyed. local news cant wait to show case weapons that are confiscated.
Not always so. My agency lets us evaluate the weapons we seize and take what we need for our own use. Everything else that is good quality and in good repair is sold at auction to good citizens. No waste except for the shitty or illegally modified weapons,
sounds like your agnecy uses common sense. its not the firearm commiting crime. may ask what state or country you operate in? Side note in UK a Vet found found a shotgun in his yard brought it to police and he was arrested for possession of a firearm! crazy land over there.
@gmo197 that wasn't a liedo your home since i wrote that the charges were dropped but not after he ws dragged through the mud a little heres a link to the story so why is it you thought that i was lying? to outlandish? or are you a believer in gun control and like the UK mis guided gun laws?
@gmo197 that wasn't a lie do your homework since i wrote that the charges were dropped but not after he ws dragged through the mud a little. google "man arressted in UK for finding shotgun" so why is it you thought that i was lying? to outlandish? or are you a believer in gun control and like the UK mis guided gun laws?
Given the choice... I'd take the HK91 over either the AK or the AR series rifles. But I'd still take the AK over the AR any day, because I don't want to have it foul and jam half way through a firefight. As for Soviet weapons in Africa, quite a few of them came in after the fall of the wall when Russia determined the AKM obsolete and started production of the AK74 (5.45 instead of 7.62). Maadi of Egypt bought most, if not all, of the old AKM equipment that was sold and produced their own AKs.
Despite war and the lack of infrastructure in Mozambique... it's probably in a better state than South Africa. I spent Christmas in a swimming pool there :)
because the weapons are old and crappy - they have their own weapon budget and they use south african made weapons that are constantly upgraded - wouldnt you chose a ''fresh out the box'' R4 than a 38 year old AK47 that hasne seen oil for like 20 years?
Special forces in SA are not allowed to use AK47's any more. Was a period in the 90's when there was accusations of a "3rd force" instigating violence in black areas. Security forces were suspected. So there is a ballistics issue in investigating crimes. Also most of the weapons will be sub standard knock-offs.
@bbiiggjjoo because they are beat down and piles of junk. just because they shoot a bullet does not mean they are effective. look at the shot group from the AK on the T shirt at what, 10 yards? barely keeps the shot group on a man sized target at 10 yards, not acceptable for an effective fighting force.
@bbiiggjjoo because every weapon needs to be individually registered with a ballistic report, and serial numbers and this would cost a lot of money to make these weapons 'legal". Especially if they were grey (ie stolen from another country's army) add the cost of transporting them, guarding them and storing them.
Plus these are mostly heavy urban assault weapons (designed for damaging buildings and vehicles) the police have little use for these kind of weapons in normal operations.
Inaccurate compared to what? My AK's shoot very well, most of the shortcomings of the platform can be attributed to the sights, but mechanically they are quite accurate.
Can't believe they smoked that Russian Makarov, that made me cringe.
I have a backup folding rear sight. If my aimpoint or acog go down which I doubt they would I can take it off with one turn of the handle and pop up the rear back up iron sight.

Watch the section starting at 1:50 where a rusty AK that's been buried for 18 years shoots perfectly!
Rather than blowing these up, they should sell them on the US market so people like me can buy them and shoot paper targets with them.

I dunno about that - it's still widely used around the world, hardly obsolete.
And I stood there with an AK at 100 yards and out shot 5 guys with AR-15s, hitting 10 inch metal plates.
It is true that in good hands an AR-15 is more accurate, but...also true that in good hands, an AK-47 is accurate enough.
