And while they worry about the name, Charlene is splattering their brains on the wall.
How many more kills a minute can you get by having a different name? (knowing what ammo it uses is all I need to know)
The point is ... if you create your own gun names, then the Gun freaks have another one for their list.
As far as the AK-47 ( Автомат Калашникова образца 1947 года )
So, call yours the BK-49, unless you think that Mikhail Kalashnikov, or Izhevsk Mechanical Works, or Burger King would mind.
The average person doesn't know that much about it anyway, so it really doesn't matter if you name it yourself.
According to wiki..."Russia has repeatedly claimed that the majority of manufacturers produce AK-47 without a proper license from IZH. The Izhevsk Machine Tool Factory acquired a patent in 1999, making manufacture of the Kalashnikov rifle system by anyone other than themselves illegal. However, nearly one million AK-47 assault rifles are manufactured illegally each year."
With that many people ripping them off in the real world by making fake AK's, I doubt they would worry about you using an AK 47 in a game.
But at least now you know where to get permission.
But if you do pick your own name then do the research so you don't pick one that is already on
the list.
Yeah, we could use some more on the list, right?
