This is not a conversation about guns. This is a conversation about items that have withstood abuse that are near unbreakable.

Some items I have heard referenced as AK47 of:

Gerber MP600: It's a multi tool

Old Thinkpad Laptops

Mag lights

Toyota Hilux

The voxelab aquila "knockoff ender 3" 3d printers.

At this point, I'd also just say Ender 3 printers. You can get them for a hundred bucks now. They're not as fancy as the newer 3d printers with auto-leveling, remote printing, dual extruders, etc. But they get the job done just fine.

Fruit of the Loom men's briefs.

I buy a six-pack from Walmart every year. I don't think I've ever been so loyal to a brand.

Viking Fishing Kayaks. Made in New Zealand and absolutely bulletproof.

AR-15

Also, the 1911 class of pistols. Can't go wrong with the OG Colt Government Model. As in, it can't jam, fail to feed, fail to eject, fail to chamber, fail in any way.

Honorable mention goes to Hi-Point. Ugly and heavy fucking guns, but they function flawlessly and last forever.

You had me until hi point. Owned one it jammed so bad the first shot I had to pry the casing out the slide with a heavy stick. Sorry hi point ain't it 😂
