Good Guns, Bad Guns: Difference between revisions

** In a few nations, especially those of the former Eastern Bloc, AK-patterned weapons are used by the military and law-enforcement agencies as well as criminals. However, many of them have since phased the AK-47 out of service in favor for more modern AK-pattern designs, importing other weapons or developing their own.

* The TEC-9 semiautomatic pistol gained a reputation for being favored by gangs and violent criminals due to easy modification into a full-auto weapon. The original was banned in the US, and its watered-down successor, the AB-10, only narrowly avoided the same fate before the manufacturers went out of business.

* [[Mossad]] in many of its operations has most commonly used either Uzis or AK's. Granted the first is an Israeli weapon, and both have traditionally been both ubiquitous and untraceable, especially in many of the countries in which Mossad has operated. Given that they're spies, rather than soldiers, it's expected that they'd [[Combat Pragmatist|use whatever weapon was available]] in order to not raise suspicion.

* After the [[Cold War]], many nations once allied with the Soviet Bloc are getting better relations with Western nations. This means that they use both Western and Eastern weapons designs. The former Soviet-allied nation of Georgia for example has both the AK-47 and M16's/M4's in its inventory. Polish Special Forces use Western European and American designs while the basic infantryman uses the AK-derived Kbs wz.1996 Beryl, which fires the NATO-designed 5.56mm round. Other non-aligned nations such as Pakistan and Slovenia also have a mix of Eastern and Western weapons designs.
