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
Any boot that can actually be resoled. You might pay a higher up front cost, but they will be worth the investment when you’re putting your third outlsole on them in instead of getting yet another pair of shoes.
Edit: also, the AK isn’t actually cheap to make, it’s just the US market was flooded with surplus guns no one wanted for a good while.
