machined with little error this causes for things to fit perfect if sand is in the weapon it will jam
The key is clean the thing and dont throw it in the sand and fucking use immediate action to unjam it it takes about 1 second to unjam the damn thing
I have had them jam up very few times in 8 years I used them
when they do you dont miss a beat just SPORTS it

Dont M-16s also use parts that are easily corroded? I remember watching a show comparing both guns, and while the M-16 is definitely the best in 'ideal' situations...in places like the Middle East (tons of sand) and Vietnam (swampy and wet), the AK-47's actually performed much better overall just due to the fact that they wouldn't jam in critical situations.
Either way...I love AK-47's, and I had to buy one for myself...so I may be a bit biased
