It just dawned on me. Jerry said OVERRUN!

[Walking Man]

Does that mean this is a mil. overrun? If so, I'm quite surprised. I seriously wonder which military people would need such a sword, and why an AK is too long for them. (or a BM too short)

 

[Jim G.]

I was also wondering how it could be an overrun and yet being produced in 2 runs, wouldn't the extras from the first run be used to lower the amount needed to make in the second run, there by speeding up delivery time to Mil.

Blade blanks are probably cut out all at once... finishup in 2 stages. :thumbup:

One moderator on another forum (who is serving in Afghanistan) said that he would kick the *bleep* out of anyone in his unit that he sees packing a short sword..

Yes it's unfortunate that people in the military who issue out rifles and machine guns can be so hard on people about knives.

Sounds great. I've got my Claymoore packed up and ready to go!

 

[Tony G]

Maybe they just got drunk and cut some AK47s too short. But then that would be a shortrun.

typical jackoff mentality.

 

[stabber]

Even if he was born(blessed) with a short sword

 

[OliverQueen]

With the shorten length this would make a great machette for jungle units...

I have been looking for something like a short ak that can fit in my pack and now there is a Ruck Kensei!

It will fit real nice in the side slot pocket of my Kifaru Zulu or inside for more discretion!

I'm not chopping zombies or anything, but it seems like a much cooler alternative to a machete.

As for some of our troops not being able to carry these;
soldiers were not meant to be public relations platforms. Soldiers are meant to fight wars. The troops should have and use whatever is necessary to win a war. The enemy would not hesitate to cut off our heads and we will not win this war unless we are willing to do the same to them! Violence is the only thing these animals understand. The onle battle for their hearts and minds should be to make sure their hearts and minds are scattered all over the ground! (rant off)

Oh yeah... very cool kensei!

funny ting is that I was actually going to buy a few more AK's next week for the sole purpose of sortening the handles and edges a little to make them a machette style blade. I guess I do not need todo that now:thumbup:
