    Except that they aren't AK-47's. The AK-47 is a fully automatic rifle. The ones being sold in the US are semi-automatic. And they have brand names and model numbers just like any other product and the "AK-47" is not part of the name.

      True, but still cool as heck and tons of fun. Besides who could afford to feed one if it was full auto.
