I've thought about this scenario several times

With my wife and baby in car, if I was stopped, he wouldve been shot at the point the muzzle was in general direction of my vehicle. Cant take chance on him getting one of those 5 shots into my child

Palmetto State is located in SC. If you want an AK, get one from a country where the Soviets actually set up a factory, like Bulgaria, Romania, or Serbia. The quality difference is dramatic.

His scope is mounted on some kind of goofy aftermarket dustcover he bought, with a (US government) Picatinny rail on top of it. The dustcover on an AK is in no way something you can attach a scope to (or any "optic"). There's just too much play there. It won't hold zero. Your ordinary iron sights will be far more accurate.

AKs have their own attachment system for optics. It's a Soviet-designed rail on the opposite side of the receiver from the charging handle.

The use of PMAGs (American plastic magazines) is relatively forgivable. It's just kind of a giveaway that you just bought the shiniest new AK you could find without doing any research, and it's quite possibly crap.

He bought his AK from Palmetto State Armory. It as a scope on it and a Magpul PMAG magazine.

The gen 3 PSA AK's are pretty good guns from what Ive read. I wonder if this dudes old lady would sell his cheap, seeing how its used and was probably dropped and dinged up when he hit the ground

Could this be where it all starts? I don’t think these agitators realize that people have been pushed about as far as they will go. At some point, the ones being pushed are going to push back and it will be bad for this little angry minority that thinks Twitter posts and Tik Tok give them power. Real life is going to smack them in the face like a freight train.

The PSA AKs actually review very well.

And the scope is on top of the dustcover... I mean, that might be why he couldn't hit shite. It's held in place by a big, floppy spring, FFS.

They're being pushed pretty hard. Even Rob Ski has given them a somewhat mild endorsement, even though he had to stick a toothpick into the bolt assembly to keep it together during his torture test.

I'm not buying it, though. I mean... consider the toothpick.

And you can't trust gun reviews anyway. Century makes extremely crappy AKs but the top few Google results do a damn good job making you think they're OK. Like this: LINK , from something called "The Military Times."

Come, on man. Everyone knows the VSKA is a grenade.

Hey buddy, YOU called down the thunder & fare ain’t got nothing to do with it. Those liberal white kids & adults finally got smacked in the face welcome to the real world. They looked like roaches scattering when reality turned on the lights.

I don't get it. What was he thinking? You just don't point that shite at a car, let alone fire 5 shots, especially if you aren't experienced.

Sadly, from this dumbasses actions, he now fricked his, his family's, and this driver's lives up forever. The driver now has to defend themselves and show 1)these protesters are known for dragging people out of their cars and beating them to near or certain death. 2) Prove in court this a-hole fired first (not that hard, there is evidence). 3) spend money on lawyers and will probably be fired from their job.

How does this kid fire first? What was his thought process? By doing this, you're only providing further proof to the next driver who encounters such a riot.

I mean, just POINTING the rifle at driver would cause them to react and put the threat down immediately.

Edit: He had that weapon for less than a month? That was probably the first time he shot it. I'm uncomfortably upset at this kid for his actions.

Now, sadly, the uninformed of twitter will scream why did this idiot get shot. Such a sad state. He fired first, he missed, his own actions caused his own death.

The driver should be ticketed for running a red light and that’s it.

It shouldn’t make me happy, but it does! Not particularly because the POS is now dead. But because we need more of this before they learn not to frick with people in their cars like they’ve been doing. They have been dragging unarmed people out and beating them.

All I can think is the driver was pointing the pistol.

The first four shots sounded like a higher caliber gun than the last two shots. Maybe the dude with the AK shot first and someone returned fire with a pistol.



An article said he fired 5 rounds from the AK, missed all of them, and the driver fired 3 rounds back.

I will say this, I’m no soldier of fortune, but from Beirut to Mogadishu being strapped w/ an AK you better be locked & loaded & ready to pull that trigger. If not, stay in your living room playing Call of Duty.

Love how all these pussies understand is violence. Everyone’s a hardass when they think they can anonymously damage someone’s car and threaten them, but when the bullets start flying things get real.
