I think its the bimetal ammo. I have run russian crap through a lot of different types of guns and even a bolt action will jam up like a mofo using steel case ammo. Mosins and mausers alike. Quoted:

LOL at the guys actually defending the trashcan gun. I've been assured SEVERAL times on this website that AKs do not jam. I think its the bimetal ammo. I have run russian crap through a lot of different types of guns and even a bolt action will jam up like a mofo using steel case ammo. Mosins and mausers alike. 
What exactly do you think an AK was designed to use? What type of casing so you think the Russian Army uses? |

Quoted: Volunteers that joined the Peshmerga. They are not members of the UK military. Quoted: Quoted: Where is the brit and why is he fighting isis? Volunteers that joined the Peshmerga. They are not members of the UK military. I'm betting he has prior service with the UK military but 'elite' couldn't be used as a descriptive word. That was a lot of randomly shooting in a direction, there was nothing surgical about that shooting and he seemed to be unaware of height over bore and he was definitely unaware of correct distance behind cover as he was hugging that wall. |

Clearing a weapon malfunction under direct fire has got to suck a King Kong sized dick..! Yes it does!! That's why we all practiced malfunction drills till we are blue in the face. My platoon went to help out another pinned down platoon in Fallujah. When we got there the insurgents scattered and we found US soldiers dead laying by their M4's completely field stripped to fix so they could fix their malfunctions. So the soldiers were so focused on their malfunctions they forgot that they were in a fire fight. Tunnel vision is a bitch. Huh? Vietnam man, Vietnam......error I mean Fallujah man, Fallujah. |

Y'all get a real nice stuck case into your AKs chamber and try to knock it out with just the rod by itself. I will wait here. Quoted:

it has a fucking cleaning rod for a reason. Indeed. A member here had a cleaning rod tied into his AR. haven't seen it for a bit but a good idea.

Clearly those are not real AKs and instead cheap copies. 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. Clearly those are not real AKs and instead cheap copies. It has an NC Star optic mounted to a rail attached to the top cover. That is a tier 1 setup. |

It is. A Type 56. The bolt carrier, handguards, and who knows what else aren't Chinese, however. Quoted:

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. As an ak guy, just goes to show how nice a bolt hold open could be. If he could have locked the bolt back he might not have had pull the bolt out. Kinda stupid the rod isn't 1.5" longer though. |

I believe that was one of the retro guys doing a tribute version of a Colt carbine he saw pictures of in VN with a cleaning rod taped to it. Quoted:

I believe that was one of the retro guys doing a tribute version of a Colt carbine he saw pictures of in VN with a cleaning rod taped to it. Don't think so. His rifle had red dot, can, and rail. He probably isn't the only one though so you could be right. |

Police up your extra ammo and frags. Don't leave nothing for the dinks. |

The last cleaned weapons in my unit was the M4. Our battalion was doing its own "surge" in our sector. We were being ready to hand off the sector to an incoming National Guard unit. So we were getting our asses kicked on 18-20 hour patrols a night, 7 days a week. After doing all that weapons clearing bullshit you had to do at the clearing barrels and returning the gun trucks to the CP area. We had to get our shit out of the trucks and do some other bullshit. By the time you are done, you might be lucky to get 4 hrs of sleep before the next patrol. So we never had time to do a good cleaning on our rifles. During the 2 week long surge, we did get into a quick two-way range with some insurgents shit bags. 5 guys in seperate positions were involved and all 5 guys with their beat up and not clean M4s, managed to not have a single jam. Despite have the upper/lower reciever, quad rail and everything with a coat of dust on them. You had time to clean your guns, you were just lazy.

I had this happen to me in Afghanistan with my M4, sucked but got it figured out pretty quick.
Also had this happen to me in combat in Iraq fighting with the kurds against the same dudes these guys are shooting at. That was with an AK 47. Overall it is a super shitty thing to have happen to you in a fight, but if you kinda know what the fuck you are doing with guns overall you can fix it pretty quick. Really helps if your bros are covering for you while you play with the guts of your gun. Now, the G36 wandering zero thing sucked pretty hard and there was no fix..

One of the disadvantages to the underfolder is the lack of a cleaning kit in the butt stock. The extensions in it would be enough on the end of the rod to clear it. Yeah, I know we're talking about the video of someone in a firefight and you're probably not going to do that, but it does help. True, but one major advantage the underfolder has is that it can fold into a smaller package, making it suitable for smaller garbage receptacles. |

So the soldiers were so focused on their malfunctions they forgot that they were in a fire fight. Tunnel vision is a bitch. That sounds like a true story. Truer than anything. Storytime: I was at an indoor range regretting my decision to shoot there, and there was some sort of "tactical pistol class" being taught. The instructor was this fat old bald child molester looking guy, wearing starched 5.11 top and bottoms (10.22s lol) and some super bulky dirty old soft armor that looked like it was from the late 1980s. His secondary instructor looked like a 17 year old version of Kip from Napoleaon Dynamite. He was standing at parade rest with a full dropleg holster down to his knee, and also dressed similarly. Well besides his soft armor, which looked like the shell of the blue kind that reporters wear when they go to combat zones. Anyways, he's over there yelling at these poor saps that spent money to learn from him, "DON'T YOU EVER BEND DOWN AND PICK UP A MAGAZINE! IN FALLUJAH, THE MARINES BENT DOWN TO PICK UP MAGAZINES BECAUSE THEY DID IT IN TRAINING AND INSURGENTS WALKED RIGHT UP TO THEM AND SHOT THEM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD!" "I SEEN IT HAPPEN A HUNDRED TIMES!" |

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! The further east you go, the higher the quality gets. Britain is pretty far west.

Lots to be said for a rigid and/or weapon mounted cleaning rod in that video. But then people laugh at you at the range. lol If your compensator is loud enough you'll never hear their laughter. |
