POTD: Kalashnikov Rifles in Special Forces Weapons Course

    No prior knowledge of the Russian language to take this class. Photo Of The Day, and we’re back to the Special Forces Weapons Sergeant Course with the focus on various versions of the rifles designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov.

    By the looks of it, they had an interesting day in the sunshine.

    AK-47 fully automatic

    Iron sights all the way.
