Is there anything that the Kalashnikov doesn’t do?

It’s not an AK “lookalike” body. It’s a real AK. It’s unclear how much original rifle is left, though.

It’s called the ‘Lopashnikov’ after S.S. Lopakka of the band KYPCK. KYPCK, “Kursk” in the western alphabet, is a Russian-singing Finnish doomsday metal band. Go figure.
