One thing I can say about this...
Looks perfect in your own way and let's not forget the glorious Russian anthem playing in the background
the setup is identical to my RPK74 in Metro Last Light to replace the Krinkov I had, and has no suppressors on

Nice looking weapon. Come to think of it. Those modified AKs with the railed hand guards and M4 style stock just look badass. Yeah this is an airsoft gas blowback AK. But this is what I'm talkin about

I agree but it depends on what it is. When it comes to weapon systems I'll just stick with my modded AK and standard M1911A1 with a custom engraving on the slide and chrome finish.

Your telling a man who knows I prefer on the M1911 WII style wood and black finish. And an old Original Full Auto Soviet AK-47
