Cadets look at a display marking the invention of the Kalashnikov assault rifle in the Artillery Museum in St. Petersburg in a file photo. Russia will help Venezuela build plants to make Kalashnikov rifles and ammunition after the United States restricted arms sales to the South American nation, President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday.

So now the Russians can build non-functional rifles for Pineapple Face Chavez, rather than mail them?
Hey Hugo, remember "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me!" You'll be saying this often when you deal with the Russians!

I heard they were selling hugo AKs but what's this about non-functional?
Props for Hugo's "Oliver Stone" movie.
Earlier, the Russians had sold Venezuela 30,000 Kalashnikovs. Too bad they didn't work!
Where are they going to find a million "men" who will survive having the AK shoved up their anal orifice....
Semper Fi
Y-M-C-A
Everybody say 'ho'!!
Cindy!!!
That's what i'm wondering . The AK might not be the most accurate , but it is very well one of the most reliable . Every American should own one ...or three or four ....
Really? Where did you get this information, may I ask? I find it kind of odd to have non-functional AKs. After all, some have even been cobbled together in Afghani workshops and worked. The main selling point of the weapons is their reliability and ruggedness.
Sure the Russians have a load of crummy weapons, but they do have occasional gems like the AK and RPG-7.
Does anyone know if chubby-cheeks has decided on the 7.62 or 5.45 version (or 5.56)? I ask, because the 7.62's proven incapable of penetrating our interceptor body armor (thus if he purchases it, he might have something else in mind). Not to mention that the 5.45's supposed to be far more accurate (not that I'm exactly expecting brilliant accuracy out of commies).
Who knows, with so many rifles floating around, someone might get the bright idea to off Hugo.
What's the story about them not working?
I'm fondling my AK as I type this. I hope you don't think me forward but ...
this loon tune is getting ready for a war, the question is, who is it going to be with and when?
I wish I could find it...hey, I could be wrong, but I do recall something to that effect a few weeks ago. If I am wrong, then consider it already retracted.
Yep! If something is working in Russia they call it "Kalashnikov".
