Good point. Although not necessarily an "AK" -- of which there are several variants besides the AK-47 (the smaller-chambered AK-74, for example) -- it's certainly not an Uzi. Really, though, it looks more like an M-16 or AR-15 than an AK to me.

The image is most def an AK-47 or an AKM (Egyptian version)

It's fairly obvious via the picture... But, in my own experience the smilie would be out of ammo in about 8 seconds at his firing rate and would also be pretty damn strong to keep that gun as level as he has it unless of course it was a mock version firing a .22 round.

Ha! Good point.

Well it's a little hard to see the detail, but it looks like it has a grip on top, which is what makes me think AR-15/M-16. But definitely an AK-47 would be a close match, too. Again, though, it's absolutely not an uzi!

That definately looks more like an AK47 than an AR15 or M16 to me.

It's Friday for crying out loud! A little pointless conversation is a good way to end the week!

Yeah I guess I wasn't really noticing the color, now that you mention it. And on a closer look, that looks less like an M-16-style grip (since it's too far toward the front of the rifle) than just a kind of sloppy drawing of the upper stock on an AK-47. But it does look like that's what it's supposed to be.
