Shotgun news, about a million blogs, and topic's on web-forums everywhere are teeming with information and praise for the Vz. 58 right now. The thing is I can't figure out why.
It has no parts interchangeable with it's Soviet-Bloc buddy, it also cannot swap magazines with the AK. From what shotgun news has stated, it's no more accurate than a regular AK-clone, no more reliable, and if my experiences in finding them has taught me anything, they're actually more expensive.
The only thing the Vz. 58 has on the Kalashnikov is weight, 3.1 kg compared to 3.4. But really, for .3 kilograms a Vz?
Am I missing something? What is so great about these rifles? Is it the same euphoria felt when eating "I can't believe it's not butter?"
