  • oh yeah my little sister shoots better than he -.- pussy and as for the quality of the Germans deserve first place.... Germans are just born for it...

  • 90th years wooow man :D if 3000 ppl die from AK-47 he gets +1 year of life :D

  • 1:03 you don't know how to shot

    pussy

  • Many weapons are made the same. The AK is a sweet weapon but there is no such thing as the perfect weapon. AK have good accuracy up to 200m but AR's have good accuracy up to 500m Ak has much more knockdown than a AR but an AR round will bounce around in you. Hard to choose just one.

  • @StoutMarine For *clever* guy like you, i will say that AK47 was made in 1947. lol.Those times - simply the best. Nowadays, like you said - hard to choose smth else.

  • Why does nobody understand that Kalashnikov just copied the (Nazi) Germany made first assault rifle STG-44? the design is just the same! he only modified it a bit! They must give some credits to the developers of the STG-44!!

  • @unrealassasination true, kalashnikov was inspired by the design of the StG-44, and ex-german designers helped to create the AK, but the 2 weapons are different in many ways such as the gas system

  • @B52Stratofortress1 uhm the gas system is a system from the german they used it in there mg-42 (thanks to the gas system it had a high rate of fire) and I doubt that those german designers helped with pleasure, most of them were forced to help the sovjet union.

  • @unrealassasination

    the same? tell me exactly what is "the same", common we all listening...

  • @TelPrank look it up how does the STG-44 not look like the AK-47?yes mabye its a lil different and kalashnikov improved it. but! without the germans he wouldnt have made the ak-47

  • @unrealassasination

    i repeat: tell us EXACTLY what is "the same" with STG-44 and AK(47) ? I had them both in my hands, so now i want to hear it from you, mrs Expert. Dont tell me about the look. A lot of weapons look "same". And then tell us why Kalashnikov could not made it without germans.

  • @unrealassasination STG-44 is generally the other barrel. Kalashnikov his weapon from the ground up doing ...

  • @unrealassasination

    this is bullshit. nazi germany made nothing worth attention.

  • @IbrownrussianbearI haha your just a nationalist (just like a nazi) Im not german and I hate nazis but I know my history and I study history, and the nazis made pretty impressive things that you think your country made. Go search for the Vempire(first nightscope) the V1 and V2 rockets(without those we wouldnt have ballistic rockets and rockets to the moon) the MG-42 who laid the foundations for gas operated weapons, the STG-44. the first fighter jet ME269...

  • @IbrownrussianbearI they made the Horton HO-IX the first stealth bomber/fighter. also the U.S. and the Sovjet union(U.S. brought german engineers and scientist to the US with operation Paperclip) but for the Sovjets I think they forced most of them to do their work.

  • @IbrownrussianbearI I dont know what they are saying in this vid but I think they kinda show the thruth bout the ak-47 /watch?v=9N_4AhJJHsM&feature=r­elated

  • @unrealassasination In this video they show and prove, that AK has nothing to do with germans :)

  • In Soviet Russia, Kalashnikov doesn't get old. Old gets Kalashnikov.

  • the AK's now with their black stocks look crap compared to the previous AK's with their wooden stocks. The wooden stock made the AK so much cooler and also give it its iconic image.

  • Want to stop iligal AK-47 production? Destroy China!!!

  • AK47 is the final proof that guns don't need to be all sofisticated and full of shit and stuff... It just need to be simple and light ....

  • @Embraer091 any new futuristic designe weapons working just antil they meet first swamp

  • One guy thanks him because his gun saved his life, the guy who would insult him is dead. LOLOLOLOL

  • Yes this is a weapon that has saved y life thank you

  • Yeah it's cool, but war sucks.

  • I love my AK-103!

  • best

  • 60 years, with the quality of this weapon I believe the ak 47 will play a major roll in warfare for a lot longer

  • Thats a lengendary man ....and a lengendary rifle..

  • This is about the only report from AlJazeeraEnglish that is not biased and one I agree with.

    I am a proud owner of a Bulgarian AK-74 variant. I hope to soon own a Russian variant.

  • Kalashnikov  will Live on!

  • A counterfit Kalashnikov is not as good as a true Kalashnikov.

    Happy early Birth Day Mr Kalashnikov!

    The chinese type is crap to say the least!

  • Respect from serbia

  • wish my country's armed forces also uses ak 47 along with carl gustav m/45

  • The AK 47: never jams, works in any theatre, can be stripped in next to no time and is renowned for it's simplicity, durability and reliability.

    To quote an Americanism:- "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

  • ak-47.....cheap but kinda realiable

  • HAHAH a beautiful gun??!!Have you ever seen the M4 Comando?And you guys should know that terrorists use this gun...do you really want a terrorist gun?

  • the 7 people who dislike this must not have an ak lol

  • Around $45 for an AKM in Somalia/Ethiopian border. The AK is truly helping us to kill each other easier!

  • Здоровья Вам! Многоуважаемый Михаил Тимофеевич Калашников.

    Во всём мире знают Россию по четырём символам: водка, матрёшка, икра и Калашников... Он живёт очень скромно, на третьем этаже без лифта, с женщиной, которая за ним ухаживает. Но сама страна тоже недополучила, потому что за бесценок продавала лицензии на изготовление автомата Калашникова. (цитата из википедии)

  • 500 mil? Wow that's a lot of weapons

  • It's a good rifle. But the barrel overheats and shakes with bad recoil. Use with semi auto fire and you will be fine.

  • Wow he had a good design

  • what about american made kalashnikovs? i have one and love it lol

  • The Chinese made Norinco AK's are great quality too, I've found them to be better than the Saiga's.

  • Михаил Тимофеевич, моё тебе уважение

  • such an intelligent and honourable man, who produced his weapons for the right reason and saw his nation distribute them carelessly, destroying the good reputation the ak47 could of had. its renowned for its reliability and effectiveneess, it is most definitely one of the most influential inventions the world has ever seen, mikhail kalashikov should be remembered forever.

  • @louist457 its cause england reverted to Feudalism. The crown temple owns you. And the secret society religions have full ownership of the queen and her family. If she smiles wrong, they will assasinate her. Good luck revolting against such a tight-knit royal class cohorting with the secret brotherhoods. I doubt the british people will do anything about it if they cannot even identify the owners of their neo-feudal system. And he is probably standing on russian soil as he shoots.

  • @louist457 it says hes in russia

  • I saw a cheapo AK copy made in Taiwan in the 80s. Not real wood, used fiberglass. You get what you pay for.

  • Mikhail Kalashnikov is a Finnic Udmurt.

  • @Daski69

    Kalashnikov is not a Finnish Udmurts. He is Russian. He was born in Siberia, the Altai. Kalashnikov has moved to the city of Izhevsk, Udmurtia, in 1948, for production of his machine gun

  • @gukow1 Dude, he's a Finnic Udmurt... Of course he is Russian, that has nothing to do with his race. Russians are not a race, they're a nationality and the ones we often consider real Russians are Slavs and Finnics. The Russians aren't an exclusively Slavic people, they're a mix of Slavs and Finnics and very soon, there won't be many pure white Russians due to all the Turks and Gypsies taking over.

  • @Daski69

    Not quite true - the Slavs are a mixture of Iranian, Baltic, and Finnish people. Genetics, conducted research and found virtually a single community of Slovenes, Croats north, Slovaks, Ukrainians, Belorussians and Russian. A little further are the Poles and Czechs. Even more are South Slavs. Perhaps the Kalashnikov is the Finnish admixture, but this does not mean that it is the Udmurt. You throw out of your head stupid thoughts about the Turks and Roma. This is not a problem.

  • @gukow1 The Tatars are assimilated very much so in the metropoles of Russia.

  • @Daski69

    Usually in all major Russian cities is the assimilation of non-Russian people for 1-2, a maximum of 3 generations. We have a very weak non-Russian communities. Europeans do not want to assimilate Arabs, Turks, and Negro, so that their communities will continue to grow. This is a big problem for Europe. The Europeans will not able to assimilate a strong non-European and Muslim community.

  • @gukow1 And I'm glad for that, I don't want to assimilate degenerates into my pure genepool.

  • @Daski69

    I'm not saying that Europeans should assimilate degenerates. I'm talking about migrants from Africa and Asia. If you want to survive, you have to assimilate them. Why should your government invited these people into their country, if you do not want to assimilate them? If you do not assimilate them, their communities will grow and be strengthened, and then they begin to assimilate you. In this case, you can forget about your pure genepool, given the extinction of the Europeans.

  • @gukow1 What my government wants to do is not what I want to do. Why there should be no assimilation is because there shouldn't be as much non-white immigration as there is.

  • @Daski69

    I do not understand why your government is doing what you do not want? Do you have a democracy in Europe or not? Why you do not choose a government that will reflect your wishes? Maybe the Europeans want to migrants traveling to them from other countries? Why your government does not has a policy to increase fertility? Why is it do not restrict the migration?

  • @gukow1 put me in charge and i'll fix those problems, unfortunately though, that's not too easy.

  • @Daski69

    In Sweden, there is no political parties that is talking about limiting migration of foreigners? If they are, then why the Swedes did not vote for them? If not, then you must find allies, and to organize the party, write a program of the party and fight for power.

  • @gukow1 There is one such party that has grown immensely during recent years. Once again, I don't dictate what the Swedish people votes on, I'm talking about my own opinions.

  • Russian kalashnikovs are the best. I wish the U.S. would allow Russia to import Mil-grade kalashnikovs.

  • @jchoo34 They do, Saigas come straight from Izhmash.

  • @jchoo34 Try Saiga.

  • @jchoo34

    They do. Arsenals are more or less Mil-grade, straight from the Izmash factory

  • @jchoo34

    they do..they're called Arsenals.

  • is the real ak-47 only legally made in russia?

  • @cardude1992 yes. Bulgarian AK Arsenal this is false...

  • @cardude1992 Dude the cheap clones are as good as any russian AK47s. Unless you want originality, just get a cheap WASR that is NOT assembled by Century Arms rather just imported by them and your good to go. I have an Arsenal which is a Saiga made in russia and just converted in America. Other than that, it is from Russia.

  • @MRcalibrecincuenta I fired a Romanian AK 47 and the hand guards got so hot I was unable to hold the rifle anymore and that was just after 3 magazines. Russian AK's do not have this problem.

  • @Unit987654321 then just change them. They are like 13 dollars for both by my area. Not that hard either. I swapped the polymer hand guards on my Arsenal and put wood and never have had that problem. Ive fired WASRs and never experienced it either.

  • im definately gonna get one. a new one. i need it. theres alot of roberies and house break ins where i live. i need this to protect my family. i think im supposed to get a liscence first....

  • @cardude1992 you want a home defense weapon?shotgun or handgun.it would not be a good idea to fire one of these in a house in a residential neighborhood it will pass through your house and the one next door and the one next door to that and so on.by all means buy one but not for that.

  • Funny, I wanted to get one of this replicas but it cost more than a real one.

  • ak is the best i dont have one but its the rebel weapon as i like to call it all the other goverment shit is just made quicly just to kill ak it had a purpose its cheap and realible the poor mans weapon + it was made for something not like all these guns today

  • hugo chaves is fuck ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • He made one of the most beautiful guns I've ever seen and a rifle which i can count my life on :) damn wish i had one of those!

  • @NinjaBoyFuto yeah those guns also be the ones taking our troops life away

  • I love my AK's :)  any one selling real Russian ones here in US ?

  • I <3 my AK... Straight outta Izhmash! :)

  • The only reason this gun is so popular is because it was literally given away.The AK is really a subpar performer by todays standards.

  • Adoration to the weapon. I just come up with a new word: Oplolatry. Oplo- [weapon] + -latry [worship].

    Got it? The worship of weapons is Pagan and Satanic for a believer, and psychopathic if you're Atheist. those who brandish weapons in glory like to kill people; Don't do it!

    I know this story of self-defense and saving life and blabla..If you are paranoid, get one and learn to fire it it but let it be a mere and bloody tool, wishing never to use it; Anything else is a psychosis.

  • Russia people best export:

    1. AK47

    2. Vodka

    3. Caviar

  • I love my AK!

  • Thank God call of duty doesn't say its a kalashnikov ak47 or we would have hundreds of nerds arguing on this video

  • Калашников создал это оружие для МИРА! Не для войны...

    Показал, что есть- никто не докопается)

  • Калашников создал это оружие для МИРА! Не для войны...

  • illegal manufacture? but wait didnt russia sell blue prints to the REST OF THE WORLD?????

  • How cares! The world bank wants real AK to fuel wars and conflicts no fake AK . GIVE ME A BREAK!

  • Wish I could find me an AK-47 for $30! Even a counterfeited one here would cost several hundred dollars.

  • Kalashnikovs from 20 years ago still works. hahhahaa that is a weapon.

  • AK74M the best.

  • 1:10 Take your finger off the trigger nubcake.

  • @TaZ101SAGA Yeah I know. What a fucking noob.

  • @ukramms долбоеб ну русские хотяб додумались до этого, думаю еслиб тупые хохлы до этого додумались первыми тыб щас этот автомат рассхваливал, так что гордись тем что ты жевешь в отбросах россии, и вообще завидовать это грех

  • Russian losers just COPYED  GERMAN StG-44

  • @ukramms Not true. They are totally different.

  • @TaZ101SAGA uh no they are very very similar, In fact in a 2009 Interview Kalashnikov admited the germans "helped" with 'his' design. Lets get one thing straight here, the Soviet Union was the GREATEST prevaer of lies in history, the myth that Kalashnikov made the gun by himself is BS. Its well known he was on a commitee, also the Ishmah and Tula Aresnal Archives are closed to the West...geee i wonder why? The AK is Hugo Schmeisser STG, modified for Russian winters, this is a fact

  • @DaytonaRoadster I can smell envy with some note of yankee sh..t!!!

  • @Anderas777 envy? HAHA i own 2 AKs and 2 AR-15s, try again gunless eurofaggot

  • @DaytonaRoadster 1) You are jealous because it was a Russian who design this great weapon and not a Yankee. Yankees with all their money are not in able to design something like this. This let them look like "subhumans". This is your real problem! 2) I have seen a TV-interview with Kalashnikov in original Russian he sad clearly that his weapon has nothing to do with STG44 and Germans! 3) Of course he works not alone, he has a team of different experts on his side. This was never a secret.LOL

  • @DaytonaRoadster You so wrong.

  • @Ilia1138 yes you've clearly proven that...idiot

  • @DaytonaRoadster Ты идиот пиндос ты обыдлевший, ты сам то знаешь устройство STG43? Придурок еще и называет Советский союз страной лжи, это США и жизнь твоя вся большая ложь тебе что СМИ скажут тому верить будешь баран. Не буду я на вашем тупом языке писать.

  • @Ilia1138 О смотрите, я могу использовать Google Translate слишком LOL. Ваша страна полна бесполезной к югу от человеческих частей славянской дерьмо. Все вы знаете, как сделать, это ложь и украсть.

  • @DaytonaRoadster Конечно это правда ведь так говорит твой бог - телевидение.

  • @DaytonaRoadster Ты долбаёб сраный. Все ваше население - тупой скот. Умные имигранты с СНГ все вам строят и создают. К сожалению ихние дети через 10 лет будут такими же бездарными лохами как и ты, поскольку образование в США - говно.

  • @DaytonaRoadster LOL dumbass, the gun weights 3 kg, while shmeisser weighted 9kg. Insides of the guns cannot be compared. Ak is much more simpler. Plus russians INVENTED assault rifle.

    Look up Fedorov Avtomat during WW1 and next time dont assume bullshit.

    Hater..

  • @russianinja2008 HURR DUUR implying Russian shit isnt always inferior to the western technology it copied. Not to mention inferrior stamping tech...or the fact the 47 reciever is milled orginialy. AK is not any simpiler than the STG FACT. The STG infact has less parts than the AK. FACT. Your a fucktard FACT

  • LOL an american redneck calls me a fucktard. The trigger happy asshole who is too pussy to fight off niggers by hand so he must reserve to assault rifles. I held both guns. I shot your shittass AR-15 , plus i was in the army. Ak-74M is mush better than any american bullshit you offer. STG is heavier, its much much more complicated. And the only similarity between AK and STG is the bannana clip they both use. other than that they are totally different.

  • @russianinja2008

    Try shooting a 1/2'' group with your AK-74M at 100 yards.

    Oh, that's right. You can't.

  • @AGeekWithAShotgun really? the ak-74 is just as good as the m-16

  • @harperjoe

    No it is not. The M16 still lighter, more accurate and more modular than the AK-74.  The only pro the AK-74 has over the M16 is reliability, while the M16 has a 3:1 pro/con ratio.

    However, I do respect the AK-74 weapon. It is a much better improvement over the AK-47.

  • @AGeekWithAShotgun the ak-74 is lighter than the m-16. but not by much. it depends on the makers of the gun and what u place on it. as for accurate i have out shot the AR guys at the range i go to. but that just may be cuz am a better shot and not the gun. i don't think it's an improvement over the AK-47 but just tooled for a different way of fighting.a world wide move to smaller bullets.

  • @harperjoe

    16'' barreled M16s are lighter than AK-74Ms, but the 20''ers are heavier.

    The AK-74 is definitely an upgrade. Better gas system and all. Besides, .22 caliber high velocity bullets are proven to be more lethal than high powered rifle rounds, that explains the 5.56x45mm/5.45x39mm/ect

  • @AGeekWithAShotgun but i don't think the target cares how big your bullet is. but there is nothing like firing a 7.62x 54R or a 308. they are just the best.

  • @harperjoe lol what are you talking about? 7.62x 54R is mosin nagant and i would think firing the ak is much better than that shitty rifle.

  • @pwnalliance shitty? that rifle has been used for over the last 100 hundreds. as long as you have the strength left in your arm the mosin nagant will not let you down. also many other weapons fire that round.

  • @DaytonaRoadster Umm, that's complete bullshit. The MP44 and AK-47 may look similar, but the internal designs are COMPLETELY different. The way the Germans "helped" with his design is that they made the world's first assault rifle and started using an intermediate cartridge. One could equally say that the West copied the Russian T-34 tank being that they developed sloped armor.

  • @SPT6767 AK47 is an original work its not a copy of STG. Fireing mechanizam is nowhere comparable its a joke some faggots made up that AK47 is a STG copy. ITS NOT! STG is nowhere near as good.

  • @DaytonaRoadster No moron STG has nothing to do with AK47. AK47 is an original work and looks nothing like STG. The fireing principle is totaly different. Kalashnikov is a mechanical genius and he wanted to make an automatic weapon to kill moreo germans. STG is nowhere close to AK47 in any aspect.

  • @Ouija121085 lol when call of duty faggots think they know guns, lol

  • @DaytonaRoadster lolwut? STG does not = AK-47. Look at the weapons internal workings. Just because it looks similiar doesn't mean it is a copy. This is a fact. Go play some CoD or something.

  • @vega9090 why dont you take your own advice retard, they tap gas at the same point the barrel, have similar bolt and bolt carrier layouts, generally the same style recoil spring, and a similar feed ramp...stfu you opinions should not be confused for fact

  • @DaytonaRoadster where is this interview? STG is NOWHERE NEAR AK47 in any principle. What Kalashnikov said was that he noticed that germans have new automatic rifle and that he wanted to counter it and make a assault rifle for this soldiers to use agaisnt germans. If you knew anything about AK47 or STG you would see that AK47 is totaly different concept and its not even close to reslembe STG44. People like you deserve to be shot by AK47 just to prove this point.

  • @ukramms First, you're wrong. Second, you spelled "copyed" wrong. It's "copied"

  • @ukramms shut up faggot! Fucking american troll. Die cocksucker!

  • @Gurubashy italian gipsy ?

  • AK-47 is a favorite weapon of choice. :P

  • guns do not kill people, people kill people

  • This man is a true a-merican Hero.

    XD

  • at 0:45 i was about to laugh because i thought he has slipped on the mud, but i then realized he was shot by enemy fire. wow....

  • He created a gun that killed million and million of people :S

  • @simone12russo Yes, thank God!

  • "A national competition" Anyone know what the AK's opponents were?

  • @spetsnazkommando No, no. I meant, before the ak was accepted. The video said the Soviet Government held a national competition to make the most suitable weapon, I was wondering what other guns apart from the AK were displayed.

  • @spetsnazkommando Except when its dirty, and not cleaned and has been lying in some mud. :-)

  • nice chicken wing mr barker

  • THIS MAN IS A FUCKING GENIUS !

  • ur weapon saved that young man's life but also killed millions of innocent people!!

  • @southboyzlondon SO???

    it saved HIS life

    Russia 4 ever

  • The illegal manufacturing and distribution of this WMD needs to be stopped! But that's impossible to do.

    

  • @sco40 Then, why waste your time flapping?

  • i would love a druganov sniper rifle personally,though i dont have the steady hands needed to be a top sniper.

  • @elgostine Snipers fire prone, and sometime in a crouched position, you need more then steady hands, you need patience, a good eye, and the mental ability to look for things that don't appear right. Remember, sniping is hunting, and you as a sniper are hunting the ultimate prey, another human being.

  • @Puzzoozoo LOL, the "ultimate prey", gee, I'm SO impressed by the drama.

  • @varanid9 How would you define sniping then?

  • Comment removed

  • @varanid9 At what range?

  • @Puzzoozoo Whatever range you can....there is no established "sniper" range

  • @varanid9 Going by that anology any infantry man is a sniper.

  • @Puzzoozoo Only if he can hit what he's shooting at. No reason why any good infantryman can't snipe on the front. In fact, many germans ANd russians were never given the title "sniper", they just used that method as it was best in their particular circumstances, such as Stalingrad. It's my understanding that the term sniper came from brits in the 19th century setting up rookies by sending them out to shoot "snipes", a fictional bird.

  • @varanid9 Except 'any good infantryman' isn't trained to be a sniper, and isn't able to kill with one shot outside the range of a standard infantry rifle. Yes, you are correct regarding the origins, except the bird isn't fictional, as the Common Snipe (Gallinago gallinago) is a member of a family of wading birds. The ghillie suit has its origins in Scotland by game keepers to counter poachers on the estates in the Scottish highlands.

  • @Puzzoozoo I believe you are wanting to define what makes a so-called "scout-sniper" as is referred to in our military. This is a specialty in most armies, but in the US Army, this is not done by SF because both the green berets and the USMC sniper program (which, apparently, the Army's program was modeled on) were developed separately but concurrently. The geurilla nature of combat in both Iraq and Afghanistan continues to make it not only a viable method, but a necessity, as it was in 'Nam.

  • @varanid9 No, I am refering to a sniper, as in the true sense of the word, and soldier trained in concealment, and able to kill with a purpose made rifle beyond the range of an assualt rifle. British army snipers are not SF, nor are they part of the SAS, but SAS soldiers are trained as snipers by British army sniper instructors, which makes SAS snipers possibly the best SF snipers in the world. BTW, IIRC the USMC sniper program was modelled on the British army sniper training program.

  • @Puzzoozoo Interesting about the snipe. I don't recall anything about Brit snipers in what I've read of Plaster and Hathcock, but that doesn't mean you're wrong. My point is, a sniper in the "truest sense of the word" may be different things in different services. The russian frontline sniper would be referred to by us as a "designated marksmen", for instance.

  • @varanid9 'designated marksmen [and women for the Rusians] is one term, but going back to my original discription, sniping is hunting and you are after the ultimate prey, another human, or in the most extreme cases another sniper.

  • @Puzzoozoo Trust me, outside of action films, people are quite easy to "hunt".

  • @varanid9 Yeah any ol grunt in the infantry can do what a sniper can do. How silly of me to think otherwise.

  • @Puzzoozoo No, but a sniper starts out as "any old grunt".

  • @varanid9 But the important thing is any old grunt can't become a sniper.

  • @Puzzoozoo Apparently, 95% of real-world shots occur at ranges within the capability of a typical assault rifle, though I suppose the increasing use of .338 and .50 weapons, as well as the current proliferation of brush-fire wars in which they are particularly useful may change that.

  • @varanid9 real-world shots and sniper shots are two differnt things.

  • @Puzzoozoo ??!!

  • @varanid9 Yeah, a stupid movie, but with two redeming features, that cool name and the gorgeous gorgeous Linda Blair.

  • @Puzzoozoo huh?

  • @varanid9 Puzzoozoo and the gorgeous Linda Blair.

  • One true thing is he is Mongolian !
