THAT'S NOT AN AK YOU IDIOT! But, it is... or is it?
This video thoroughly compares the internal mechanisms of an East German AKM and a Galil ACE Gen 1, arguing that the Galil ACE is a direct AK variant due to shared internal design principles. The instructor details the disassembly process for both firearms, highlighting the similarities in their bolt carrier groups, recoil spring systems, and trigger mechanisms, despite external differences. The video also contrasts these with the Sig PE 90, illustrating what a loosely based AK design looks like.
