    Did you notice the scope on his AK?

    I can’t really make out how it’s mounted, just that it doesn’t use the usual Soviet-style side mount. Ultimak, maybe?

    Thats…quite mexican of them.

  3. Matt Says:

    Hrm, a scope on an AK? Well at least you can see what you don’t hit I guess.

  4. Bram Says:

    Is it just the camera angle, or is that scope not even aligned with the barrel?

    I’d say camera angle Bram…but can’t be too sure.

    And…*saves to show friends in school tomorrow*

  6. Murdoc Says:

    Maybe the off-zero scope is the trick…Aim your AK about eight inches off of what you want to hit to improve your odds?

  7. TomCat Says:

    Or it isn’t aligned just for that reason… to improve your odds of hitting something =)
