I was surfing the net the other day when I came upon this picture of weapons taken off captured pirates. Do you think these guns still work? Some of them don't look bad, but the one in the middle looks like it is rusted to hell and back.

The AK on the far left has a better 'camo' job then some of the Krylon jobs in the 'refinishing' section.

Yes, I am sure they work fine. If you park your car by the ocean overnight you'll get a little bit of rust on your gun unless it's specially treated or plated.

I really like the telephone handset cord sling on the one 2nd from the right.
They are AKs, I bet they all run just fine. |

They are going up against unarmed ships, and are (generally) careful not to shoot people because they want the ransom.
They could be using prop guns and still do as well. |

Surface rust from salt spray. They'll work fine...they're AK's. I've seen 'em with 1/8th inch rust pits, no sights, and dressed up like a fucking piñata...they'll still kill you any day of the week. I have a Chinese AK with rust pits that almost go throught the receiver stamping, and it works fine.

Why for the love of God do they remove the buttstock?
A big pistol? A useless rifle? It's 3rd world cool? No need to aim, it's the will of allah? Well, better of us. |

How long did they lay in an evidence locker without any clean up or care? The ocean is a hostile environment for things made of metal, bouncing around in an open boat with salt spray and high humidity would take its toll on most firearms. However, I bet they will shoot just fine. AKs are well known for reliability.

I'm willing to bet they work just fine. We're talking about AK's for gods sake. AN AK works. Period. Maybe not 300 meter accuracy, but by god it will work when you pull the trigger.

No way would I fire an RPG that has that much corrosion on it, but the AKs should work fine.

I have one that had the same amount of rust on it just from shooting it one day in the snow, and leaving it in a case for a month afterwards. It all cleaned off easily.

They wouldn't carry them if they didn't work. They might not meet US Military standards for reliability but I'll bet they're deadly enough to commandeer a ship.
ETA: Which one of you forgot to take off their shoe for the pic? |
