Left Handed AK47??

#1 Post by 25Pdr »

Watching a Film....Seal Team 8 Behind Enemy Lines.

Here's a screen grab of what looks like a left handed AK. Do they exist or have they got the image reversed somehow ?

Image reversed, no L/H AKs......

The Beret...Never noticed. :good:

Do they still use Film then or was it done digitally?

There is a replaceable dust cover with a left-handed charger but its mainly for semi auto ak's I think?

A solution for a problem that does not really exist.

Left hand can be used to make ready quite easily.

Too true, just thought I'd mention it as it was the only thing that sprung to my mind that could qualify.

Could it not be a FFL guy in Afrique; they wear their beret's wrong way round (but I would never say that to any of them!)

Only ten percent of people are left handed, and all four of the firers in the snap shot appear to be firing left handed. I think the odds of that are non-existent, and therefore the image has been reversed.

They are non-existent, in the Russian army left handed troops have to shoot the Dragunov etc with a scope that is already offset to the left.....makes for some interesting head positions!.
