Hey, don`t be shy - tell us more: -is it true that AK47 is the best "all-around" assault rifle and why?
-is it true that "Crvena Zastava" (Serbia) version is the best, and how it compares to the Russian, Hungary, Romanian, China and other versions?
-what`s better - standard 7.62 calibar, or 5.45 and why?

Hi, Ak has been longer around with minimal improvements, and I think it is the most durable, of the all in its class. I've talked to some former soldiers from Laos who were virtualy trowing away M16's in favor of AK's. But that was almost 40 years ago and M16 have since come long ways. Is it best? Hard to tell. Progress has moved forward in this industry too. Here in the US "Yugo" AK is highly sought version, and it is still rarest of all - with the heftiest price too! CZ (yugo) version : The wood and workmanship of these rifles are almost the same as the Romanian but the most important variance is the metal thickness of the stamping. Other countries use the 1mm thickness the Yugoslavs used a 1.5mm thickness. This added thickness allows for more rigidity in the receiver while still allowing some flexing. 7.62 more knock-down power, better penetration...etc. I'll let you read an article: Didn't you serve in JNA? Regards! Dragan

Whe I first came into U.S., I was into guns. One of the reasons was, in former Yugoslavia you couldn't own the gun unless for hunting or service. Since then,I outgrew the "hobbie" and I am in fact for a "ban."
The gun culture is deep rooted here, and they are never going to be outlawed. You listen The Stranglers, you must be as old as I am? Got "Man in black" somewhere here...?

Interestingly, during the war and a few years after it, "arms culture" take roots here, people actually have rocket-launchers under the bed and various automatic weapons, bombs, etc. Little by little, with buying off the weapons and ban, goverment has done a lot to supress this evil. The millitary arms is banned, and "civilian" (hounting arms and pistols) can be possesed (with licence), but not carried.
Many tragical events also "cooled off" the people besides everyday economic struggles, religion, etc. , and as far as I can see - "arms culture" is a marginal here, almost nobody cares for guns any more.
About Stranglers - yes, I listened to them a lot in high-school, but stopped after the 10th LP, ha...
Remember Sarlo akrobata, Elektricni orgazam, EKV, Idoli... then Azra, Paraf, Haustor, Film, Pankrti... didn`t listen to it for 20 years...

Same in Belgrade. Milosevicev regime alowed thugs to control the streets. Murder was random and largely unpunished. One maniac threw a handgranade inside the loaded bus. I found that only after I visited the city after fifteen years in 2001. Thankfully by then, they started to clean things up. End finally my last two visits last year showed great progress. I even took my family there, and my wife was pleased with shopping etc.... I heard Zagreb is beautiful? Belgrade still looks kind of dirty. Ne mogu da verujem da pricam sa tobom na engleskom, jesmo li foliranti ili sta?
Secam se Sarlo akrobata, ..orgazam, Film i Idole, ostale... ne mogu da se setim...?!
