When I find myself ass deep in the shit, I just sit back and ask myself, "Self, what would Abu Hajar do?" You already know. Lie prone and then roll your way back to camp. hahahaha the tactical roll, holy shit that was great stuff. |

Lol. Once you drop it in its fully inside. You cannot jam into earth. You can sometimes rocket it down fast enough to knock a case out, but our Afghans normally used the buddy system and two rods. Quoted:

invert rifle... insert cleaning rod...rapidly drop rifle so cleaning rod contacts earth.... shove cleaning rod into barrel using earth....clear obstruction. adapt. improvise. overcome. Or stop using shitty rifles. Lol. Once you drop it in its fully inside. You cannot jam into earth. You can sometimes rocket it down fast enough to knock a case out, but our Afghans normally used the buddy system and two rods. "Cover me while I monkey-hump my AK! I need another man!" |

I wonder what the jam was from? or what he could have done to prevent it? Thankfully he wasn't in closer combat or that would have been bad. Malfunction was from using AK with Eastern Ammo. How to prevent it? Use imperialist Western Rifle with Western ammo. |

Quoted:
Most reliable assault rifle in the world. Quoted:
Quoted:
Cmon guys the trashcan jokes are getting old! If that wasn't an American assembled AK it wouldn't jam. You can pick up any AK and it will just run. ..................................... Add your own! Most reliable assault rifle in the world. The comments are even better. Funker gets lots of herp derp followers. |

Quoted:
Unpossible. AK's don't jam. You can fill them up with mud and rocks and they still fire. GI's in Vietnam threw their M16's made by Mattel away and picked up VC AK's because they are so reliable. They shot 5.56 ammo through them because they are designed to shoot 7.62 x 39 and 5.56. AK's are the best gun ever! I can tell you have learned all valuable lessons most glorious of combat NCOs knowing knowledge best. May great battles await you AK in hands power. |

The ghetto rails attached and the cheap chinese optics that are impossible to zero let alone hold it's zero is a nice touch I just don't get it. . . . Why would an English speaking individual be over there with that shit dust cover rail and a 50$ optic
Your life is worth more than that!!! Seriously I'd rather take the Romanian 10/63 I converted to a double stack mag with a dremel in my pops garage than that abomination.

Ah, yes. The good ol' undefeatable AK.
Fed with shitty 3rd world ammo. Nothing could be more reliable! Edit - The only time I've ever seen a stuck case where you needed to punch the bore on an AR has been: 1. Cheap ammo 2. Shitty AR that wasn't built to a decent spec |

Its not like you can load up your tier 1 gear on the airplane from wherever you are coming from, and then get off with it in Turkey, and then get it across the border into Iraq. Plus, being English speaking and having knowledge of quality gear is not a given. |

well substandard bimetal ammo was probably the cause. case rupture? Where is the brit and why is he fighting isis? Also at least with the top cover design it allows you to quickly get access to the chamber with plenty of working area to clear said jam. If I had to go to the sandbox and depend upon the local supply chain, hopefully I could bring my own rifle. Getting my hands on a Krebs KTR-03, finnish RK95, or Vepr would be preferrable. You ever carry an Rk95? They are boat anchors. Reliable as sin, but boat anchors. A lightweight little Colt Commando would be better. |

Seriously those dust covers are garbage even if he had an aimpoint on there. . . he'd be 100X better off just using the irons. WTF!!!!

You just want to smack him around and tell him to fucking charge the rifle correctly. GI mags also in my experiences less prone to feed when you ride the CH than say a polymer mag like a Pmag. I've found polymer mags give you more leeway with riding the charging handle. |

My favorite was watching a guy try to pry his BCG back with a multitool while gouging up the aluminum receiver around the ejection port and magwell. I dropped a GI sectioned rod down the barrel, after stopping that madness and the bolt popped right open. |

At 01:24, he is sighting on a target, pulls the rifle down and snuggles up to his cover.....PEW! goes an incoming round past him.....then he brings the rifle back up and resumes shooting. Hopefully, shooting the asshole that he saw about to shoot him! |

it has a fucking cleaning rod for a reason. The cleaning rod is actually too short to clear a stuck case by itself. AKs! Looks like he threw the rod down the barrel with enough juice to clear the casing. Actually, that is the correct way to clear a stuck case. Get the rod moving fast and let it go before it hits the stuck case. If you try and force it, the rod will flex, bind against the walls of the barrel and will impart less energy into the casing. Think dropping a mortar round down the tube. |

Lol at the guys who think a stuck case is an ak thing. I don't think I've ever read on here anybody that knew what they were talking about stating that ak's never jam.

It doesn't need to be 1.5 inches longer because there's a ~3" attachment in the cleaning kit. This thing:

A PV2 who set up a selfie cam during some sort of ambush didn't take the time to clean or maintain his weapon, and doesn't really look like he knows how to use it. So I actually tested that out, and with my properly lubed rifle in perfect condition using a GI mag I also had a failure to feed(extractor didn't snap over the cartridge rim). There's no way a improperly lubed rifle, and possible bad magazine in a dusty environment would be capable of feeding riding the CH like that. With a M3 Pmag I was capable of properly chambering the rifle even when riding the CH. So polymer does seem to allow more room for slower BCG speed to properly feed and chamber. |
