Since when is a cheap Chinese AK47 a "sophisticated weapon" anyway?

Ironically, as I understand it, a selective-fire AK is actually CHEAPER on the world market ($150-200?) than any semiauto AK you could find in the States. And there's literally tens of millions of them out there.

I've read you can buy full-auto AKs in Iraq for $50, and it's 100% legal.

I remember reading you could buy some of that stuff legally even in the Hussein era. (That's IF you had the money of course, and when the authorities have PKMs and RPGs, an AK is slim pickings in comparison!)
