You're a fucking idiot. Don't even
try to bring in the AK-47 in to the picture. The reason the AK-47 is so prolific in Eastern Bloc isn't because of Russia handing them out like candy.
Why is it so prolific? Because the AK-47 is a
cheap weapon to produce. Cheaper then the M-16, cheaper then the M-14, and arguably cheaper then the FN-FAL or the G3, the equivalent to the AK-47.
Why? Because the AK-47/AKM design is extremely easy to copy, and is a durable design. The M-16 isn't easy to copy, and anyone who has owned an older AR-15 knows how much of a pain they can be to maintain.
Why? Because Russia didn't keep very good tabs on their AK-47s. Invade a country? Oh, we'll just leave our AKs. A lose a shipment? Fuck tracking them down, we'll just make more. Drop your AK-47 in the battlefield, comrade? We'll just make another, since they're so fucking cheap.
Why? Because the AK-47 uses wooden parts. The AK-47, in a pinch, can be made
by hand. The design for the AK-47 is extremely well known. Try making any AR-15 by hand. It's a bitch.
Why? Because Russia isn't the only country who produces the AK-47. Albania, Bulgaria, China, Germany, Egypt, Hungary, Iraq, India, Iran, Finland,
North Korea, Pakistan, Romania, Serbia,
Vietnam, Venezuela, and Serbia all
make their own variants of the AK-47.Russia isn't even involved.
Why? Because a crappy clone of the AK-47 costs less than $100 on the black market.
Why? Because the AK-47 can be operated without any prior training.
But nooo, it has to be because of Russia.
