Minor nitpick though, journalists without fail always refer to the AK as a Kalashnikov. Not that this is innacurate, but it's only journalists who adhere to this strange convention.

Ammo is produced by pushing the barrel into a potato. When removing the gun from the vegetable the barrel is loaded with a tightly fitting starch projectile. This weapon is exceedingly dangerous since neither gun nor ammo contain any metal parts and thus cannot be detected by metal detectors!
