But it also illustrates one of the reasons why the AK is so fucking popular. They may not be the most accurate firearms in the world but you can field strip it fast, there's damned few pieces, it's rugged, and it's purposely built with loose tolerances so that parts are interchangeable between rifles. It also didn't hurt that it fired a heavier caliber.
