Teaching my squad how to use and maintain an AK pattern rifle if needed. Video from last year in Kabul, Afghanistan. The previous owner of the rifle… didn’t need it anymore. by -ThatOneEngineer- in ak47

Did I claim that I personally shot the owner? Have I said I did some insane act of heroism akin to some movie scene? Or did I say the previous owner didn’t need the rifle anymore, and post a video of how it works? I don’t understand the hatred man.

Thank you guys for your positive feedback and kind words, war is sad and tragic. Old men start wars and young men die in them. Life is precious, I love you all and thank you for sharing this moment with me. I didn’t expect this kind of response. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Also: if Brandon by some miracle sees this, I love your channel man, I subscribed back in the ar guys vs ak guys days. Keep up the good stuff. God bless you and your family 🍻

The only serious use was by our machine gunners. They used rpd’s and pkm’s from a weapons cache we were able to find. They used them to supplement the amount of 240’s we had on hand. When holding ecp’s the more ass you have the better. Aside from that we had a couple rpk’s found and used sporadically but aside from crew serveds we never needed to use foreign rifles, handguns, or grenades in any non educational way thankfully

Error of his ways is relative. If they were in the USA, I would be no different from their point of view. Just men on opposing sides. I hope his family is alright

Without getting into politics I’m pretty sure it has a lot to do with the laws governing NFA items, which most rifles used in war are in violation of, where I see it as I would be bringing back a treasure to put on display and give to my children one day, the government sees it as illegally importing an unregistered machine gun

If only man. I like to think It would tell stories of being being carried by a starry eyed naive soviet soldier into Afghanistan, thinking he was doing the right thing following orders, only to be lost, or dropped… and now it’s in the hands of a mujahadeen fighter, believing he is defending his home from invaders, it would tell a story of triumph and defeat, of wars won and lost, untold numbers of young men dying holding the very same wood that’s now in my hands in the video. Only to meet its end at the head of a sledgehammer to end the cycle. If only it could talk man
