I like the kit chats. Give a bit of flavor to the weekend outside the gaming tables. Nicely done gang.

7.62mm rules! It also has the best muzzle break too. Memories…

The weapon is iconic but I’d rather have a more accurate weapon.
Loads of those used in airsoft

The AK and PM… Firearms that can take beating and keep on ticking.

i love the enthusiasm we as gamers have for the historical background that go along with our games. makes all the years of studying history at school worth it!

Indeed, research is half the fun in my opinion. Knowing the true capabilities and TO&Es makes experimenting with them a fun option. “What if I use 3 platoons of 4 tanks instead of 4 platoons of 3 tanks?”

And a lot of the service weapons in the world are based on it. And yes in Sweden we hade a great fear of Sovjet special forces so much so that all tele repair men in theory had a service gun to defend tele communications agains attack!><

Have really liked these chats about the kit. Would have been good to hear more from our American friends in it as they have obviously ‘been there’.

The old British SLR could also take some punishment and still accurately…Also being a 7.62mm round made it quite a powerful rifle, thus it was commonly called the elephant gun. It was really easy to operate, easy to clean but a little heavy. It was a weapon that if you were by a round from it then you weren’t getting up, like wise if a squaddie clubbed you with one down you’d go.

Got to play with a Czech surplus one and a G3, think I’d rather have the NATO stuff

I love guns. Actually got to fire an SKS once which seems (though I can’t say with any degree of accuracy) quite similar to the AK. Same bullet, for sure. Would love to give an AK a go, though.
