You forgot "over gassed", lol
But I actually like the AK, alot. When made right, like in a communist country, they are utterly reliable and easily a 4 MOA rifle in the hands of a good shooter. But they have some issues. One that most don't think about is because the design is so simple and rock solid a very poorly built AK will run pretty reliable for a few thousand rounds in very harsh conditions before it craps the bed and dies a very early dramatic death. That's why I stick to the clunky, over gassed, overbuilt, hammer forged built by a Russian/Bulgarian/Romanian beet farmer kind of communist AK. The us variants are ripe with billet trunions and bolts, mim extractors, blah blah blah. They may get there one day, but not today.
I shot some Russian AK’s in Somalia that looked like like hunks o’ junk. Most of them ran, though.
