| Re: Free AK-47 I think the AK-47 is a good gun, but you have to remember it was designed for a different set of criteria than other guns. It was designed to be cheap, easily mass produced, able to work when given to unskilled fighters who won't know anything about maintenance. It wasn't designed to be super accurate because its for unskilled troops. Why give them a really accurate weapon when they don't know how to shoot well in the first place.
Not all guns are designed to the same criteria, so when someone says its a good gun, its because it does what its designed to do very well.

| Re: Free AK-47 The Ak-47 has evolved over the years to a very deadly firearm. The latest version is the AK-103.

Ethiopia - The Gafat Armament Engineering Complex produces the AK-103 rifle in Ethiopia.[1]
India – The Russian arms company Izhmash will shortly issue a license to an India arms manufacturer with whom negotiations are on-going at an advanced stage. Company Spokesperson Alexander Xavarzin said “Assembling of the AK-103 will begin in a years time and full scale manufacturing would start once the technology transfer to takes place"[2]
Russia – The AK-103 assault rifle was adopted for service within the Ministry of Justice of Russian Federation. It is used by personnel who guard the penal colonies.
**** (Our neighbor)Venezuela – In May 2005 the Department of Defense of Venezuela signed a contract with the Russian company Rosoboronexport to purchase 100,000 AK-103 rifles as well as the purchase of machinery and technology to domestically manufacture the corresponding ammunition.[3] Venezuela received its first shipment of 30,000 rifles on June 3, 2006. A second shipment of 32,000 AK-103s arrived on August 30th. The third and final shipment was delivered on November 29th, 2006. The rifles are planned to replace approximately 60,000 Belgian FAL rifles bought in 1953, as well as a further number of domestically produced FAL rifles. A manufacturing plant of the Russian rifles in Maracay would be fully operational in mid-2010, with a production capacity of 50,000 units per year.[4][5]
Pakistan During the recent Red Mosque siege in Islamabad, Pakistani special forces used the AK-103. |

Nobody tries to stop anyone from driving to a baseball game, though. They just want the guns.

| Re: Free AK-47 I think the promotion fits the probable market. The AK-47 is the most "in your face" gun to the gun rights haters. More so than getting the gun, you also get a dealership that shares your views on the second amendment.
This promotion probably would not work well in San Francisco or Boston.
