the rules of engagement

[larvatus]

If I had my druthers, any citation of the AK47 as a winning battle arm would be made in the historical context of Russian wartime casualty rates ranging from 2:1 to 10:1 in favor of the eventually vanquished adversary. Since I have but one life to live, it is best safeguarded by more precise weapons.

If you happened to be grasping the AK-47 in your hands then you should aim to your rear. Truly if youre with the AK-47 youre on the wrong side, and the righteous thing you can do is to shoot your commander. And the AK's defects merely suggest this idea.
