They all have their place. I really try hard not to think about pilfering ammunition off of dead bodies. Bad karma

Be safe.

I hope I never ever ever ever have to.


The AK shouldnt' be too bad on the brass. Especially if you tune the gas system right. I think the only thing that might hurt the brass is the ejector.
