- PeanutCheeseBar, on 07/06/2009, -13/+410A Frenchman, a German, and a Russian go on a safari and are trapped by cannibals. They are brought to the chief, who says, "We are going to eat you right now. But I am a civilized man, I studied human rights at the Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow, so I'll grant each of you a last request." The German asks for a mug of beer and a bratwurst. He gets it, and cannibals eat him. The French asks for three girls. He has crazy sex with them, and then follows the German. The Russian asks: "Hit me hard, right on my nose." The chief is surprised, but hits him. The Russian pulls out an AK-47 and shoots all the cannibals. The mortally wounded chief asks him: "Why didn't you do this before we ate the German?", the Russian proudly replies: "Russians are not aggressors!"
- JCPahl, on 07/06/2009, -12/+312FTA: "Despite the ever-mounting death toll caused by the AK-47, Kalashnikov has no trouble sleeping."
What is with this ridiculous idea that gun designers/manufacturers are responsible for how others use their machines? Are car manufacturers responsible for the millions of deaths in car-accidents? Put the responsibility where it belongs, plz: on the individual. - mathleet, on 07/06/2009, -3/+258"Of all the weapons in the vast soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure, no one was lining up to buy their cars. "
-Nicholas Cage as Yuri Orlav, "Lord of War" - abadonn, on 07/06/2009, -1/+227A Frenchman, a German, and a Russian get captured by cannibals on an island. They are brought to the chief who says, if you can shoot a flying parrot out of the sky we won't eat you. You can have one last drink before your attempt. The Frenchman orders a glass of wine to steady his nerves, shoots and misses. The cannibals eat him. The German asks for a pint of beer to relax his shaky hands, shoots, misses and gets eaten. The Russians asks for a case of vodka. Drinks it all, shoots, and hit the parrot. The chief walks up to him and asks: "How could you possibly hit that parrot after a whole case of vodka?", the Russian replies: "How could I miss? I have a seven barreled gun and the sky is ***** full of parrots!"

- portis, on 07/06/2009, -8/+171Playing Counter Strike has taught me that the AK is cheaper and more accurate than the M4A1.
- GorfTron, on 07/06/2009, -1/+132Mikhail Kalashnikov was a good man who wanted to defend his country after being ravaged in WW2.
- inactive, on 07/06/2009, -1/+113That movie is so under appreciated.

"Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California) holds an AK-47 with a modified shoulder stock and ammunition drum during a 1999 news conference in Washington D.C. Feinstein was seeking a federal ban on high-capacity ammunition clips. She didn’t get it."
Hey stupid get your finger out of the trigger guard! If your going to talk about firearms (good or bad) the least you can do is observe basic gun safety. - inactive, on 07/06/2009, -9/+91"Every pro-gun person should be stuck on an island somewhere away from civilization."
Along with all the jews and the poles and the gypsies . .. . Should probably start euthanizing the retarded soon as well. . . - Chairboy, on 07/06/2009, -13/+87Guns are designed with the intent of preserving the life of the wielder, tovarich. You're thinking of the person they're used against instead of the purchaser. I'm not voting you down or anything, just trying to offer a non-facetious perspective.
- mobling, on 07/06/2009, -6/+79I want a AK-47
I would also like a AR10, AR15, SKS, and a nice M1A would be nice.
Please don't tell my uncle Sam that I want one, because he only wants guns for himself.
Thank you Santa, I have been a very good reloader. - monodelasno, on 07/06/2009, -0/+68"This is the AK-47 assault rifle, the preferred weapon of your enemy; and it makes a distinctive sound when fired at you, so remember it. "
Gunny Highway - mgu1, on 07/06/2009, -2/+69Lord of War: the last decent film Nicolas Cage starred in.
- Chairboy, on 07/06/2009, -0/+62For many people without the type of precision infrastructure that first-world industry and logistics can offer, the perfect gun that's disabled by a piece of sand loses to the imperfect gun that will reliably put bullets downrange.
You don't need $400/oz teflon oil to maintain your AK-47, but if you can get your hands on some cooking oil, you're set. - DulcetTone, on 07/06/2009, -0/+58Good point, but I rather take issue with the thin character development in this joke. I found the cannibal chief an unbelievable and wooden presence tinged with a stereotype.
- mastersmite, on 07/06/2009, -2/+56not to mention they are still probably the most reliable assault weapon in the world. you can drop them in the mud, hose them off and start firing, and you rarely ever have to clean them like most AR/M16 style rifles which are really finicky about ammo, aside from the newest ones from H&K and Ruger which use a gas piston instead of the gas impingement system that the original AR design implemented
- jesusfish, on 07/06/2009, -5/+55Ruined by Feinstein.
- yellowsnowcone, on 07/06/2009, -1/+50I didn't have to use my AK. I gotta say it was a good day
- phantomfiles, on 07/06/2009, -3/+52"AK47's For Everybody"
- repins, on 07/06/2009, -0/+45note, her complete lack of "safe weapon handling" she is in a room full of people and her finger is on the trigger of the weapon.
- geesamba, on 07/06/2009, -0/+44It's more accurate for the first two shots. You only have to wait a half second to get that accuracy back.
- passedoutghost, on 07/06/2009, -0/+44They also seems to appear from thin air too.
- solid12345, on 07/06/2009, -1/+44One weakness though is that generally those most likely to use an AK-47 are those who don't know how to use it. Case in point, watch a typical video of Iraqi insurgents or militias in Lebanon and how they fight, they will generally run out into the middle of the street and fire from their hip like Rambo, spray 100 rounds, and get taken down by one carefully shot bullet from someone who knows how to aim the damn thing.
- inactive, on 07/06/2009, -3/+44"AKs suck compared to more modern weapons."
*****. - pault107, on 07/06/2009, -0/+39LoW is an amazing film. The opening sequence is one of the best I've seen.

- Dimensio, on 07/06/2009, -1/+38"This is the only reason I could think if a private citizen needing a 100 round magazine for their AK-47 or AR-15 is this:"
Need is not relevant.
" However there needs to be some sort of limitations to prevent more situations like the North Hollywood Shootout."
The firearms used by the criminals involved in the "North Hollywood Shootout" were already prohibited to civilians by federal law. What further "limitations", to be ignored by criminals, would you propose to prevent such occurrences? - RudeTurnip, on 07/06/2009, -1/+36Yeah, and after his enlightenment, he invented the Iron Man suit, meaning he would do all of his killing on a very up close and personal level. Which means when you are defending your life with a gun and not a long-range missile, it's because of an immediate, personal need and not some politician's/warmonger's aspirations for power.

- julesx, on 07/06/2009, -0/+30how do you buy YOUR guns??
- AnonymousSkull, on 07/06/2009, -0/+28Take a look at a 7.62x39 round sometime, there is something different about it compared to any other round - the shell tapers toward the front. This allows a round to be fed from the magazine and into the breech through debris like mud or dirt, caked gunpowder, oil, water, pretty much anything. Compare this to the US Military's .223 or a 5.56, both of which compete with the 7.62, and you'll notice that cartridge exterior edges are perfectly parallel - you're more likely to get a failure to feed issue with these or any other conventional round if there is too much ***** in the action.
On a side note, my boss has a Ruger 10/22 that will shoot the dirtiest .22 rounds (like Remington Thunderbolts) and still never needs to be cleaned. He runs a bore snake through it after shoots, but other than that, very reliable. - zweizweifunf, on 07/06/2009, -31/+59Playing devil's advocate: cars, at least the last time I checked, aren't designed with the intention of ending life...
- neftaly, on 07/06/2009, -0/+28Most critics hated it, then again they don't understand how beautiful it was for gun-porn enthusiasts.

"Early in the Iran-Iraq War, an AK-47-toting Iranian soldier watches smoke rising from burning oil refineries near the Iranian city of Abadan. The Iraqis under Saddam Hussein, armed and supported by the United States, used mostly M16s."
Epic ***** Fail.
The Iraqis have never used M-16s durring the Iraq-Iran war. Even now they do use mostly AKs. On the other hand, because Iran was close with the US durring the Shah's era, it is quite possible that the Iranian soldiers were using M-16s. - omgwtflawl, on 07/06/2009, -0/+26Let us count the ways that picture is wrong:
1. finger on the trigger.
2. magazine in the rifle.
3. closed bolt.
4. muzzle discipline is terrible. I even heard she muzzle-swept the crowd several times.
I believe that between those problems, she is breaking every gun safety rule there is. Did I leave out anything? - Zarchon, on 07/06/2009, -1/+27Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California) is a far bigger threat to society than the gun.
- Sideshowslob, on 07/06/2009, -4/+29Guns are fun.
- tonyteetime, on 07/06/2009, -2/+27I must break you.
-Ivan Drago - Lazydriver, on 07/06/2009, -0/+24That was one of Nicholas Cage's best film, if not the best film he ever worked on.
- emkaysmith, on 07/06/2009, -1/+24"The only thing they have going for them is they're cheap and fast to produce and require almost not technical knowledge to maintain them."
The "ONLY" thing? Sounds like plenty to me. Especially if you're an anti-government guerilla in an impoverished country and the nearest Wal*Mart is 3,000 miles away. An ugly-looking weapon that works reliably beats an elegant one that jams or requires frequent and expensive maintenance. - mastersmite, on 07/06/2009, -31/+54lol, stupid liberals... of course feinstein holds the most conflicted AK she could possibly find... an underfolder with a drum that block the stock from underfolding completely.. stupid commie bitch...
not to mention she isn't even holding it safely. the first rule of gun handling is to keep it pointed in a safe direction (not at the reporter to your side...) and keep your finger off the trigger unless you are about to fire it. - skipvt, on 07/06/2009, -0/+23She doesn't need to hold an AK-47 for that.
- inactive, on 07/06/2009, -6/+28Sans this "lol, stupid liberals... " and ".. stupid commie bitch..." your dead on. Fear mongering works both ways apparently.
- solid12345, on 07/06/2009, -6/+28Actually I think that image is awesome, just shows the ignorance of anti-gun nuts, she wants to ban high ammunition clips yet is holding a gun with a ammo drum.
