ABSTRACT
Firearms enthusiasts or those who have seen Nicholas Cage's Lord of War may resonate with that movie's introduction:
[The AK-47 is] the world's most popular assault rifle, a weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple nine pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn’t break, jam or overheat, it will shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it, and they do.—Lord of War
