  Yeah that's true. AK was first made in Russia (former Soviet Union),
not far from me, so I know these thingies:)
   AK is the abbreviation of the two Russian words "avtomat" (meaning 
"machinegun") and "Kalashnikovo" (meaning "by Kalashnikov". It's the
last name of the Russian officer who invented this superb machinegun
that CAN GET WET! And the gun's very old, first made when the World
War II was over.
  That's the story of the real AK and probably of the Q2 one :))))
