the X engineer responsible for the change … stated that this design is “not the final design (going to make it look more badass)”
incidentally this engineer is a fascist weeb who complains about gay characters in TV shows and bragged about getting trans flags removed from a grocery store by leaving a negative google review
From a cursory zoom, I think the receiver is milled instead of stamped, so probably 47 over M or it’s some Chinese Type-Whatever produced in between the AK-47 and AKM, but I could definitely be wrong
@Tervell@hexbear.net ?
I’m not sure if I can tell receiver details at that resolution, but a better giveaway is the stock - the 47 has its stock attached at an angle to the receiver (and the receiver itself has an angled rear end), with a metal bit inbetween, while the AKM has a nice right angle
(this might also be the exact image used for the emoji)
there’s also a difference in the pistol grips (a similar situation with being attached at an angle and there being an extra connecting metal bit), but that’s more difficult to see in a small image
Looks like it to me
I didn’t know that about the stock thing though, thank you.
