Maybe this is a stupid question but do Iraqi's and Afgani's make their own ak's or do they use Romanian, Hungarian, Russian or......type ak. Which AK would most closely be like the ones that they use?

If you are wondering my cousing is over in Tikrit(spelling?) Iraq and said that he got to shoot one of the captured Ak's.

Actually, the news reported that a lot of the weapons are of Chinese origin.  Its very interesting but a lot of the those AKs and RPGs are made by Norinco.

I've seen alot of Romanian AKM's in pictures from Iraq. You see a whole lot of everything though, really.

Lots of E German AKMs (or E German furniture) in Iraq also.  Quite a few of the Iraqi police seem to carry them.
