I find it funny that people get so much amusement in the showing of the AK jamming.  But I've jammed AKs plenty of times.  Usually when a round pops up funny in the magazine during a mag dump.  it slams forward at an odd angle and just sits there.  You can't eject it by racking the action.  You have to dig your finger in the ejection port and pull it out.  I've had spent casings literally frozen in the chamber (in AK-47s) as well where I had to remove the magazine, put the buttstock on the ground and KICK down the charging handle with my boot to extract the spent casing (these were live rounds and they were those crappy LACQUERED casings that melted and got 'sticky' when the weapon got hot. but they were genuine COMBLOC issued ammunition).  So yes, on full auto you can jam an AK, but it's still more reliable than anything else in a hostile weather/ground environment.  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 22:41, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

AK Jamming

I find it funny that people get so much amusement in the showing of the AK jamming. But I've jammed AKs plenty of times. Usually when a round pops up funny in the magazine during a mag dump. it slams forward at an odd angle and just sits there. You can't eject it by racking the action. You have to dig your finger in the ejection port and pull it out. I've had spent casings literally frozen in the chamber (in AK-47s) as well where I had to remove the magazine, put the buttstock on the ground and KICK down the charging handle with my boot to extract the spent casing (these were live rounds and they were those crappy LACQUERED casings that melted and got 'sticky' when the weapon got hot. but they were genuine COMBLOC issued ammunition). So yes, on full auto you can jam an AK, but it's still more reliable than anything else in a hostile weather/ground environment. MoviePropMaster2008 22:41, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
