Ummm...
There were plenty lying around most of the time, but I never knew anyone to carry one. Unlike TV, you rarely see who you are shooting at. The AK makes a krak-krak sound. They liked to shoot in bursts that made the barrel ride high. Which was kinda cool from our point of view. Ours go bang bang. You don't shoot at bang bang. You do shoot at krak krack. You also shoot at green tracers, not the red ones. It is not real safe to carry an AK. Especially at night.
No, the AK does not jam. Yes, the M-16 does. It would not have jammed as often as it did, if we had ever been given cleaning kits. We often used lighter fluid and someone else's t-shirt to clean ours. I stole a t-shirt off the clothes line behind the battalion HQ.
