A friend watches you tube shooting videos. One guy he likes mentions that he Has been shot with an AK.
He says he has seen AR wounds and would never want to trade places.

Next you’re gonna tell that John Moses Browning’s assistant invented the 1911. Say it ain’t so, Mr. Cotton.

I thought that the .223/5.56 round was designed to only injure upon impact? So that others will have to retrieve the casualty?

Design was lifted from many other designs.
To borrow from someone near and dear to all of us [sarcasm off], "He didn't build that."

It is closer to a Garland and a SVT than anything else.
