A good AK will simply NOT stop shooting.
This was happening so much early in Operation Iraqi Freedom and the early battle for the insurgency, that there were orders issued against using AK's.
I wills say all AK's are not made equal, just like not all AR's are equal. Some Combloc nations have a much better quality build versus others. An East German AK is going to have much better fit, finish, and quality than a Romanian one.
