Russian Mafia? I don't know whether they still exist or not. Their L.A. division hasn't thrown any bodies off the Highway 49 bridge over New Melones Lake lately.
As I am from Europe I ask a question: Does the Magazine of the gold plated AK really exist? And how much ammo contains it? And how is the ammo forced into the gun? There must be a spring or something like it. I know of the C-Betamag, the Calico 100 shot magazines but such a thing I have never seen. Not even in a Hollywood movie. Alex Lund
They do/did exist. It's just two 30 round magazines welded together. Supposedly holds 60. Never worked worth a damn AFAIK and known for breaking apart at the weld if you actually tried using them.
Surefire has some nice 60 and 100 round magazines for the AR15. They're quad stack, similar to a Soviet or Russian mag design for the AK platform.
The velour suit does scream Russian but the gold AK says Mexican. Too many trees and no camels or goats to be the ME. The driver however, says Movie Set.
I think that double-length magazine says movie set. You can't fire from a rest, you can't fire prone, it's apt to get caught on things inside the vehicle, and I don't see how it would be practical to have a box magazine spring pushing a 60-round double-stack. But a movie prop man might weld a non-functional magazine onto the end of the real magazine for looks, although it only carries the normal 30 rounds or less.
Or it's two 30 round mags welded bottom to bottom, used like the "jungle clip" - only much more awkward to use than two regular mags taped side-by-side. Once again, made for looks rather than use.
I dunno, with that Adidas velour suit I'd have to say Eastern Europe.

ReplyDeleteBetting on fucking Russians
ReplyDeleteIs that a suppressor on the 'FN-MAG'?
ReplyDeleteThat, my friends, was at a shoot just outside Austin. It was hosted by a suppressor manufacturer.
