    What’s the name of the scope you have attached to the volk?



  2. Akelk on January 27, 2023 at 1:21 am

    I don’t like the original look, I prefer the tactical AK



  3. WHYxMYxPPxHARD on January 27, 2023 at 1:22 am

    Someone send this to ghg, he needs help with his heavy ak platform.



  4. Rebeca Borjas on January 27, 2023 at 1:22 am

    You guys awesome



  5. RideForLifeCR250R on January 27, 2023 at 1:24 am

    I weep a lil every time I think about the ones I’ve lost . M70 AB2, M92 PAP, Draco, M85 np 😔. Sucks to even think about the cost to acquire them all again 🤦



  6. Jonathan Jimenez on January 27, 2023 at 1:25 am

    Is this air soft?.



  7. Yolo Mcswaggens on January 27, 2023 at 1:27 am

    "Not what Kalashnikov wanted". What he wanted was a Rifle that defends the homeland. He’d be PROUD to see his creation meeting 21st century requirements with only few upgrades and improved production methods. WILL PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THIS SOMEDAY OR WHAT? (P.S I know he wasn’t 100% serious)



  8. Nikki Black on January 27, 2023 at 1:28 am

    Ak forever.



  9. Lv.99 Mastermind on January 27, 2023 at 1:29 am

    I have never understood the mentality of "well, the AR platform *FAR* outperforms the AK when it comes to modularity"

    Bro, just because more AR’s come fresh off the market with picattiny rails than AK’s, doesn’t mean I can’t use a couple of basic tools and five minutes of time to add just as much modularity as an AR platform.



  10. Adam Sowers on January 27, 2023 at 1:30 am

    Ok. He mentioned his favorite AK mags. First he mentioned Tapco, then Korean KCI mags, then MagPul. What am I missing here? Zero mentioning of anything Bulgarian, Romanian, Circle 10, Russian.



  11. Bearz G. on January 27, 2023 at 1:30 am

    How’d you guys get the Socom Brake on the AK? They don’t make any for the AK.



  12. Dee Dickinson on January 27, 2023 at 1:32 am

    This rifle was designed by Russian engineer, they watch as we bury our children. What a gift Niky.



  13. Beale410 on January 27, 2023 at 1:34 am

    It’s weird how the gun community is scared to admit the Ak is better than the AR 🥴🤦🏽‍♂️



  14. Dio Hitora on January 27, 2023 at 1:34 am

    Seeing people put rails on the gas tube is hilarious.

    Heated picatiny rails lplololpl.



  15. Eric Tank on January 27, 2023 at 1:35 am

    Nyet! Rifle is fine!

    Just kidding. Looking for some ideas for modern upgrades.



  16. Socrates-SixTwo on January 27, 2023 at 1:36 am

    What about heating your goodies up on the railed gas tube? Is it problematic?



  17. Zhurak on January 27, 2023 at 1:39 am

    while the meridian defense rifles look great, putting that picatiny rail on the gas block is a bone head move IMO. That thing will be burning hot after 2 mags, better bring some gloves. Side rail or a hinged dust cover off the rear sight is the way to go.



  18. Chris Robben on January 27, 2023 at 1:40 am

    The Pestilence is the best looking of all 3



  19. James Chambers on January 27, 2023 at 1:42 am

    The metal patina on the Pestilence is the bomb – such a unique cool look



  20. John Holland on January 27, 2023 at 1:43 am

    Just buy a Galil and you’re done



  21. RideForLifeCR250R on January 27, 2023 at 1:44 am

    Vert foregrip and receiver extension on Kalash is two thing I feel are blasphemous 🤣



  22. AlmightyRuuu on January 27, 2023 at 1:45 am

    Yea all those upgrades are sick and it looks mean but I’m going with the more simple look 💯I have to agree with the guy in the light blue shirt



  23. jasiel morales on January 27, 2023 at 1:52 am

    Best all around AK with Wood furniture under 1K? Looking for classic look like Zastava M70. Just wanna see if there other options



  24. Eddie Garcia on January 27, 2023 at 1:52 am

    I like gun. I shoot gun. Gun cool.



  25. Makai Hyun on January 27, 2023 at 1:52 am

    CQB 4x😂



  26. ScoobyDigits on January 27, 2023 at 1:52 am

    Ha lmao I said the same thing when watching tomorrow war. That was the first critique I had. Why are they using such short barreled ar’s to fight aliens with thick skin. It took 10 people to lay into 1 white spike and it still shook the rounds off while going on offense. Surely there was something available with more punch but I thought maybe because they were using low to no skill civilians to make up a lot of the fighting force.



  27. EMS Provider on January 27, 2023 at 1:55 am

    I stopped watching at the 2nd mention of a silencer.



  28. PillsburyDoughboy on January 27, 2023 at 1:55 am

    Who made the foregrip???



  29. Makai Hyun on January 27, 2023 at 1:56 am

    Not gonna lie that meridian looks mint.



  30. Adolphus Bamburg on January 27, 2023 at 1:56 am

    must be a marine thing but we shoot exactly the same lol same grip even 🤣



  31. apatis sarkastis on January 27, 2023 at 1:57 am

    ak used by the entire country, ar used by some country



  32. Kamogelo Ramafikeng on January 27, 2023 at 1:57 am

    Sick AK Gents❤❤❤



  33. Big HX on January 27, 2023 at 1:58 am

    Anyone on here hunt with there AK? Deer, pigs? How about how you’d set up a hunting AK? Ammo?



  34. Chino Yomaji on January 27, 2023 at 1:58 am

    Doesn’t surefire make pressure pads the scout light, so he can place the pad at the 12 o’clock position and fix his issue? 18:10



  35. buddah sac on January 27, 2023 at 1:59 am

    You can abuse them and get dirt and water in them and they will still fire. AR s require more care. There is a test on you tube…also AK can chamber 7.62.



  36. Иван понимаете on January 27, 2023 at 2:00 am

    Zentico makes best modern set up



  37. Jonathan Thomas on January 27, 2023 at 2:01 am

    I would love to see that big boy with a silencer and that they had shoot it a little also the forgot to put the name of that big boy



  38. Tridium Master on January 27, 2023 at 2:02 am

    I would take a banged up WW2 Era AK over a brand new fancy nancy AR.



  39. Jasmine Bebe on January 27, 2023 at 2:02 am

    Zenitco….. you’re welcome



  40. Colton Rice on January 27, 2023 at 2:05 am

    Him saying silencer kills me



  41. Andrew Reynolds on January 27, 2023 at 2:08 am

    Elysium AK



  42. LZ4U on January 27, 2023 at 2:12 am

    Cool i bought 1 for school very informative



  43. Fumiko on January 27, 2023 at 2:12 am

    Boiled down to the M70 tact and the Volk which would y’all pick. This is gonna be my first rifle so please give input.



  44. Barberian on January 27, 2023 at 2:13 am

    Can the rail that’s on the M70 tactical fit on a Riley Defense AK 47?



  45. SaveA RiderCampaign on January 27, 2023 at 2:16 am

    love the channel, lots of great info and talking points, even just gave me an idea for a drinking game – every time someone says "this guy" take a shot – last one standing at the end of the video wins but everyone participating will most likely have alcohol poisoning hahahahhahaha



  46. Bangeaux on January 27, 2023 at 2:17 am

    its called a suppressor. It doesn’t make it silent



  47. Jamie Johnson on January 27, 2023 at 2:18 am

    I have a pile of various mags, as well, but surprisingly my current favourite are the new production Croatian mags. They’re cheap, have a bolt-hold, are reliable as almost any other steel mag I’ve used, and no longer have the locking issue that used to require some filing.



  48. Brendon Crite on January 27, 2023 at 2:19 am

    AK Operator has shot AK47’s at 500 yard headshots and center mass



  49. luke spatola on January 27, 2023 at 2:19 am

    tactical aks are the best thing to grace this planet



  50. frosty1982 on January 27, 2023 at 2:20 am

    this is blasphemy ,this is madness P:)
