You can drop it in the mud or pour sand in the breach and it will still fire and cycle shells. It's easy to duplicate and requires few precision machined parts. It's cheap, easy to acquire and can be operated with little or no training.<br /><br />If Chapo can bring oceangoing freighters to Mexico's Pacific Coast with loads of precurser chemicals for Meth from China, India & Asia. You can bet there are numerous arms dealers taking up residence these days in Mexico's coastal resort cities willing to sell guns also. Don't mexicans endearingly refer to the AK as the "Goat Horn"? <br /><br />The Mexican military uses the FN FAL, which is also a 7.62 round but it's a 51 mm length casing and not 39 mm like the AK. The AK is perfectly suited for the drive by "Spray & Pray" method of engagement. The longer casing of the 51 mm allows for more powder and hence higher bullet velocity and lends itself to more precision and distance shooting. FN makes a good rifle, but i would be curious to hear soldiers comments on its reliablity in an urban firefight vs. an AR.<br /><br />The AR or M16 platform utilizing the 5.56 round is probably the best all around "firearm" for urban engagement. The military automatic version shoots in bursts of 3 rounds or can unload a 30 round magazine in about 5 seconds. <br /><br />Something i find interesting. Spend much time viewing the photos on this site of carnage inflicted on those who chose to die by the sword. And it gets easy to recognize the difference in damage to flesh and body parts between the 5.56 and the 7.62 AK and FN. The 5.56 enters the flesh and leaves a wound that resembles little more than a pin prick with a slight trickle of blood. The 7.62 lops off whole limbs or chunks of body mass and leaves flesh mangled like a meat grinder, it splits skulls open with explosive force. <br /><br />Someone brought up a good point in the comments above. Why doesn't the Mexican government allow the civilians to arm themselves? The gov certainly has proven repeatedly that they can't protect it's citizens or the general population. And it seems like everyone in mexico already has a gun except law abiding citizens. Canadian and American citizens are allowed to own long guns, why shouldn't mexicans ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-28482506489443570842011-09-14T09:48:49.765-06:002011-09-14T09:48:49.765-06:0012 06 & 12 38 thanks guys.

Good one.<br /><br />The cartels love to ambush, especially in Juarez and the ak-47 is perfect for this. How can you escape twelve ak-47's shooting at you, all at one time? Impossible. That's what has made this drug war so dangerous, Is the ak-47, Russia's great invention of war. <br /><br />I remember in Juarez a small convoy of sicarios ambushed a group of policias (about 6 of them who were also carrying weapons) and blasted them with ak-47's. Just turned them into swizz cheese in seconds. Then took off to never be seen again. It was too easy for them. I believe La Linea took responsibilty for this because of the federal policia's alliance with the CDS.<br /><br />But now you put this gun in some uneducated teenager's hands and now you can multiply the dangerous consequences of this gun by a thousand. <br /><br />The ak-47 was also the gun of choice for the vietcong during the vietnam war for the same reasons as the cartel's. It was cheap and extremely dangerous.JBLAZEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00743447589981240553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-3509650003587628832011-09-13T18:53:44.674-06:002011-09-13T18:53:44.674-06:00.308 cetme,hk,ptr, used by bananna republics the ....308 cetme,hk,ptr, used by bananna republics the world round!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-42799315338726617802011-09-13T16:19:34.194-06:002011-09-13T16:19:34.194-06:00@ But it won't happen - the one thing that...@ But it won't happen - the one thing that scares the Mexican govt more than violent cartels, is a coup by armed, law abiding citizens.<br /> September 13, 2011 2:27 PM <br /><br /><br />AMEN YOU CAN CARVE THAT INTO STONE <br /><br />i have no proof..but am convinced that the elites that comprise the Mexican gobierno. are kith and kin with the big time narcos...and not the guys who make the news..the guys who live above the clouds"L"Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-76609904175435862102011-09-13T15:12:40.705-06:002011-09-13T15:12:40.705-06:00I don't know what that Tamps law enforcement o...I don't know what that Tamps law enforcement official was talking about because Zetas prefer the AR-15. The bullet produces a worse wounding profile because it tumbles instead of going through like the AK. The smaller bullet means Zeta convoys can carry a lot more ammo. The AR-15 platform is more reliable and the guns tend to be newer and better made than a lot of the cheaper and used AK they get.<br /><br />The US chose the 5.56mm in Vietnam when bullet energy was not as important as the number of bullets a soldier could carry and fire in the dense jungles. And it made sense. In an urban shootout with sicarios of questionable shooting skills more bullets is a better thing.<br /><br />The Zetas have an infinite amount of money so they can afford the better rifles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-38557888779609650022011-09-13T14:27:27.120-06:002011-09-13T14:27:27.120-06:00“It has a simple design that is easy to maintain, ...“It has a simple design that is easy to maintain, and it is easy to operate,” - thus, an ideal firearm for home defense by the law abiding Mexican people.
