Nice read. Keep in mind it's a general population publication. I'm not a big fan of #5 --- the AK being the "mass murders" weapon of choice. But as they point out

Ironically, the Columbine killers did not use AK-47s, but it doesn’t matter; in America gun crime is now perceived as AK crime.

The AK-47 is the perfect weapon for children

What about Aggies?

Now thats funny right there, I don't care who you are. You should read some of the comments on the article below. They all say what we are thinking.

They should change the article title to "The author doesn't know five things about the Kalashnikov".

I guess you can add me to that list then. I learned a little bit of history from reading it.

I learned some things as well, but statements like "America may have given bin Laden his first AK-47" and "The AK-47 is the weapon of choice for U.S. mass murderers" that are either speculative or easily disproven don't really count as things I didn't know.

I don't know if the US literally provided bin Laden with his first AK, I just viewed that as a reference to the CIA training the taliban to fight the soviets. (Please don't tell you you refute that as actual history).

Of course I don't. But a bullet point regarding US involvement in Afghanistan is largely irrelevant to a web article about the AK-47.

I know I'm expecting too much from AskMen.com.
