The AK-47 Doppelganger !.97.to9elc
"Of all the weapons in the vast soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure, no one was lining up to buy their cars."

It's a good book. Nothing overly technical, so the hardcore gun nuts will be let down, but it does provide a nice little history of the weapon. If you're interested in this shit, read "Overthrow" by Stephen Kinzer.

Amalgamation? Amalgam would have worked fine

amalgam is the mixture of mercury and other metals and thus incorrect diction

it's a testament to the ingenuity of the design that such low-grade materials suffice
