my friends sent this to a group chat we're in and i thought you might know what the one in the top left of the flag is :3

Sorry it took me a while to get around to this one!

So, this one's a little tricky and requires a few layers of explanation. This is, as far as I can tell, an AKMS assault rifle (Avtomat Kalashnikova pattern, chambered in 7.62x39mm) that has been converted to a pistol carbine using the parts kit of an AKS-74U (chambered in 5.45x39mm). This configuration is sometimes called the "AKMSU" or sometimes "Krinkov" (which is actually an AKS-74U nickname)

Notable identifiers include the stamped steel magazine inserted into the gun (which normally corresponds with the 7.62 cartridge and not 5.45), the folded swivel stock, and the stubby barrel with the muzzle booster / flash hider and compact gas block connection.

I was able to find one instance of this near-exact configuration in Payday 2, and it's listed as the "Krinkov" there. It's also classed as a submachine gun... which is wrong, of course, because 7.62x39mm is very far from being subsonic ammo, and man does that always irritate me.

By the way, in the future, you need to use the submissions tab to submit something for identification! :)

I'm just too lazy to enforce that right now =w=

"The Death of a Working Class Icon."

1988 WASR 10/63 GP AKM

The Avtomat Kalashnikova: a universal symbol of utilitarianism, revolution, and terror alike. A simple, rugged amalgamation of stamped steel and minimal moving parts that continues to fight almost 80 years after its introduction. Its ubiquitous nature owed not just to its affordability, but to its unmatched reliability in every environment it's ever been called upon to fight in.

In every other country, the AK is the bottom-rung of affordable armament. In the US, the story is quite different. Here, the AK is faced with a unique set of challenges, handicapped by 30 years worth of import restrictions, overpriced ammunition, inept domestic manufacturing, and a shifting civilian gun culture that has all but rendered it obsolete.

The AK was the last gasp of WW2 era firearm technology. Its manufacturing tolerances are loose, with canted front-sights, crooked rear sight blocks, and misaligned barrels being the norm even on examples approved for military service. The AK made sense when it was a cheap alternative to arm those who couldn't afford an AR-15, but with its affordability and availability a thing of the past, it has become an overpriced historical novelty unable to justify its glaring deficiencies.

A drastic culture shift has seen the AR and AK abruptly switch sides, with the AR-15 taking center-stage as the affordable weapon for the masses and the AK becoming a symbol of decadence. A weapon once sneered at by highfalutin collector types has now become their darling, as cringeworthy AK owners compete in vulgar spending contests, overpaying for rotting surplus parts while foolishly clout-chasing who's got the most expensive brand of receiver from the most expensive builder with the most convincing fake "battle-worn" finish.

The AK as a fighting rifle will never be obsolete, but its heyday as a working class icon is a thing of the past. The future of working class armament belongs unquestionably to the AR-15 and its superior performance, modularity, and support infrastructure.
