On this month's Talking Lead AK Korner presented by Century Arms we delve into how the AK-47 developed the stigma of being the "Bad Guy Gun". Joining the conversation with Lefty is Brian Keeney (Occam Defense Solutions), Jeremy Gresham (IWI US) and Andrew Breneman (Century Arms). To fully understand this "Bad Guy Gun" stigma we have to take it back to the AK's origins in 1946, go through the many conflicts and revolutions which were fought with the AK ( focusing on the Vietnam War) and bring it to present day and the impact the AK-47 has on American pop-culture. We discuss the AK-47 in movies, tv, art, toys & music that influenced us growing up and it's influence on the youth today. Lefty and the gang take to social media to field listeners' favorite movies featuring the AK-47 and then 3 Lucky Lead Heads get rewarded.
