Why Is the Ak47 the weapon of choice for terrorists?

The Ak47 was used by th soviets, and most breakaway contries in that region were the old soviet union. It is also the most widly produced, durable, inexpensive weapon there is. Just look at it like this, i have used one. i poured a handful of sand right into the chamber with it open. fired, no problem.

It is not only the weapon of choice of terrorists but of many nations because it is cheap to build ( copy) and a very reliable weapon. It can be buried in sand and be fired without being cleaned . Its' range is not as far as some U.S. issued weapons .

cuz first of all more ak-47s are being smugled than any other wepon and also ak-47s have stronger firepower than the other wepons and also that the fact that they can do lots of damage no matter close or far range battles. this gun can kill a cop by penatrateing the car door and the bullet proof vests. Ak-47s can store more amo and is very easy to use.

there are a hole lot of them they are cheap and they are reliable but they are inaccurate and they would not use a Uzi they are made by the Jews its from Israel and that is a sub machine gun and that's not good for long range

Because this weapon is cheaply bought from the Chinese and because at full automatic they shoot so many round per second, also, this assault rifle is known to be jam free.

They are cheap plentiful and very reliable. They don't require any special tolls to maintain them. You can take a knotted shoestring and some motor oil run it through and you are ready to rock and roll

It is very cheap and a use for gurrilla warfare.The AK47

will shoot powerfull rounds up close which means that such

fire power will definetly push their enemy back.But ofcourse the U.S does stealthy war and have the technology to counter them.But sadly they are a learning enemy.

It's not always. The IRA was supplied with american Armalites because most of their funding came from the USA

Because it is very, very cheap, easy to maintain, has big friendly parts that are easy to replace, and it has a huge rate of fire which is very scary to be trapped in.

Having used all three, IMHO it is the best weapon of it's kind in the world.
