Hezbollah custom AK gunsmithing

[jlbraun]

My take:

Looks like a former bomb-maker. Loss of both hands is an occupational hazard in that kind of work.

The AK is set on full automatic (1 notch down). The position of the scope allows him to see the iron sights below it. The scope is a good one, probably 3-9x variable zoom. It has a lighted reticle and focus adjustment. The side plate scope mount is a Picatinny rail. The scope and sidemount may have been purchased in the US. The *very* high scope mount is custom fitted for him, as when he shoulders the rifle it will be lower than normal due to his lack of hands (plus he has to see over his nub. I wonder if that gets really hot due to the fact his nub is strapped to the gas tube).

The ribbed receiver cover and hand guard mark this as a Romanian AK(?). The front sight block has been moved back, but the barrel is still long, indicating that someone may have been working on the rifle and wasn't finished yet - he's probably going to cut the barrel down next.

The stock is a custom job, looks like a T of steel tubing on a wire folder.

Wow.

He must be one angry fellow to want to fight anybody after losing both hands.

Thats some serious ingenuity. Improvise, adapt, overcome.

You have to admire his spirit if anything.

My take:

God/Allah attempted to teach me a lesson, but I'm too damn stubborn to learn it, so here I go again!

:banghead:

 

[SaMx]

that's some pretty ingenious modding

 

[Deer Hunter]

A big kudos to his tenacity. He's learning to overcome his loss, which is very good.

maybe somebody in the halls of power needs to look at this picture and think about just what type of people were dealing with over there.

How is he going to change magazines?

I suspect a birth defect. Note that he has what look like a couple stubby fingers.

"Achmed! Gimme a hand over here!"

LOL. I seriously laughed.

That's a commercial Romanian double stack with an extended flash-hider. It's basically the draco pistol with an extended barrel and buttstock (and apparently a happy switch). Since the side-rails are made in Belarus, it shouldn't be too hard for him to acquire one. I don't know or care about this guy's political views, but the ingenuity to rig up such a shooting rig is quite impressive. Perhaps instead of making fun of him, we can use this picture to help out handicapped shooters in the USA?

5th Element. Nice.

Dope

Whatever, he just wants to get to those 72 virgins.

 

[LKB3rd]

It does look like it would work well for its intended purpose.
I guess he would have to get his feet involved for a mag change though :0

 

[sublimaze41]

I guess he will never go blind from.......

 

[Nhsport]

Don't some of the "peacefull" countries lop off hands as punishment?

I do believe that if I was somehow forced into a similar situation and had to trust a "buddy" to swap mags I would fire semi rather than full auto.
How is the trigger opperated?

The hook is shown.

it is a beautiful custom job and im happy to see that that man has overcome his handicap. i saw a post saying that this could be benificial to U.S. handicapped shooters and i agree completly.
to have the determination, drive, courage, and loyalty to have the gun built for him so that he can partake in activities you would not expect him to be capable are proof of one thing.

this man wants to kill me, my wife, and our 5 year old daughter bad enough that he will let nothing stop him.

First, cheers to human ingenuity.

Second,

Uhh..no. It's actually a Hungarian AMR69.

All I see is a man who hates everyone who posts on this board so much that he will stop at nothing. Respect for him? Nah, not since he would just as soon cut my head off with a bayonet knife (yeah, I saw it done to a Russian in Chechnya) or would happily kill my family, including my son, because we are unbelievers.

This shows the extent of his hatred for us and for me. You see, his organization has listed me, as a former president of the Lions Club of all things, as a target of his wrath.

So, I only see a man who is so determined to kill me that he would do this. I do not hate him, but he does hate me.

Anybody remember the old video( 1980s ) of a guy with one leg in Lebanon or somewhere hopping around while setting off an AK?

That's reading alot into a picture. Especially since we don't even have a description of when/where the picture was taken.

I have no idea what his politics are, but his determination and ingenuity are worthy of my respet.
