To me the thing that best illustrates the insanity is that the assault rifles look to be some kind of AK platform, but with extended barrels, after market barrel shroud/housing/handguard, probably aftermarket grip, the tell tale scope mount required for mounting a high magnification long range optic on an AK type of assault rifle and then a high powered optic.

So... ok. An AK 47 or AKM and basically all of its Eastern Block variants fire 7.62 x 39 and generally speaking have an effective range of 300 meters.

An AK 74 and its Eastern Block variants fire 5.45 x 45 and have an effective range of about 400 meters.

Now... ok. We've got extended barrels. That increases effective range, but probably not by more than around 100 meters for both of those.

For comparison, consider what most Americans would probably these days call a designated marksman rifle, not even a true sniper rifle, that is also of Soviet origin, the SVD.

It does not have as much magnification on its standard optics as these genuine sniper rifle optics they are mounting on assault rifles.

EDIT: If my memory is correct, the stock SVD scope from the 80s has a magnification of 4x and i think it might be up to 6x with newer SVD compatible scopes.

It fires 7.62 x 54r and has an effective range of 1200 meters.

What these goobers here have done is made a weapon that while yes you can make a weapon like this by modifying either a legally manufactured/importable semi auto AK47 or AK74 based design, or just generally illegally acquiring an old real one thats full auto capable... it makes no sense.

Putting a high powered telescopic sight as indicated by the silhouette on a weapon that is not capable of accuracy at ranges even approaching one half of the maximum magnification of such a sight is a giant pointless waste of money.

It also makes the weapon more heavy, more unwieldy, and more acquire a target at or below the actual effective range of the weapon.

Unless you keep the magnification levels far below what the optic is capable of. In which case... why would you use a tremendously expensive optic capable of something like 12x magnification when 2x 4x is all you will ever actually need for a weapon with that range?

Its basically a totally absurd way to modify an AK, that only makes sense if you are more into tricking out / blinging your gun than you are into having a gun that actually works well.
