It's a pretty extraordinary rifle and a Big Fucking Gun, almost to the point of being too big and impractical in its OG configuration for just about any situation that doesn't involve being a soldier in a full fledged military conflict (which is the purpose of it tbf). They are a different class of firearms, but you may as well get a .50 BMG M82 with a barrel this long IMO.
AK's with a folder or the wood stock unscrewed and pulled off are wieldable truck guns to deal with peaceful protestors mobbing you in the street, and without sacrificing any of the energy that the abomination "AK" pistol variants do by cutting the barrel lengths. The muzzle flash on those contraptions is also fucking laughable and totally absurd. <45>
