The BBC laments the horrors of the everyone's favorite commie gun, the venerable AK-47. It's typical scare propaganda that you'd expect to read at a bastion of liberalism like the BBC. I've seen some ugly AK-47 clones, but that photo and caption is too funny.
All this week, BBC World Service's The World Today programme is looking at the stories behind one of the world's most iconic weapons, the AK-47, and talking to the people who trade in it, the people who carry it, and the people whose lives have been destroyed by it...Not only is that kid not carrying an AK-47 (it looks more like a Thompson), but it even lacks scary "assault weapon" features like bayonet lugs and a flash hider. And that magazine is clearly not detachable.The most popular, and perhaps the most iconic, of all these weapons is the AK-47 assault rifle. Its distinctive shape and widespread use made it an icon of violence in the 20th Century.

It looks like it's made of wood.

Posted by: rimfirejones at December 12, 2005 9:39 AMIsn't it supposed to be painted black or olive-drab to be considered an "Assault Weapon"?

Posted by: sandpiper at December 12, 2005 2:33 PMWhat I wonder is if it would be possible for a toy gun to look anything less like an AK-47 than the one shown in that picture.
