They are high powered compared to a pistol.  Less powerful than an M16 or AR15 but uses a heavier bullet that compensates. I would not want to use one of these as a sniper rifle to pick off targets at 800 meters but for what they are designed for, close combat up to about 150 metres, they are deadly.

 

The government can easily source  cheap 7.62×39mm AK ammo from Eastern Europe, China, N. Korea, S. Korea.  There is lots of it around. 

 

They used to arm these volunteers only with pump action shotguns for close quarters self defense,  which are less likely to cause collateral damage or to be used effectively against them, if stolen.  Now they have provided insurgents with perfect weapons for ambushing police and military from the side of the road. 

I thought the AK-47 used the 7.62x39 and the AK-102 used the 5.56x45!

I could understand it if they were in a disabled  bay but surely  just a good  beating with a baseball  bat would  be enough for the minor parking space  issue.

 

Bring a baseball bat to a gunfight?
