Does the "ak47" Assault Rifle have a Saftey Catch?

Question

I am wondering this because in the film "outlaw" one of the people is firing an ak47 at the s.w.a.t teams and you can see muzzle flash and cartrige edejction but he is later told he had the saftey catch on

Answer 1

YES IT HAS A SAFETY its part of the fire selecter.

Answer 2

Ah! To be young and believe everything. Yes, the AK has a safety; a lever type arrangement on the right side that when in the up position covers the opening in the receiver where the shells are ejected (keeping crud and dirt out of the action when it is being carried); and the lever blocks the trigger from being pulled at the same time. It is simple and does the job; probably the most idiot proof safety there is.

Answer 3

The saftey on a AK is a lever under the bolt,maybee his was broken or somthing.Or it mite just be that alot of times in movies they do and say alot of things about guns that are not true or cannot be done.

Answer 4

yes it has a safety, and Farleyboy is wrong-

the three positions of the AK-47 safety are as follows:

uppermost- SAFE... the weapon will not fire.

middle position- FULL AUTO...rock and roll.

lower position- SEMI AUTO...one round per trigger pull.



this was deliberate so that an excited or poorly trained fighter

would slap off the safety and not end up emptying his rifle in

full auto mode.

Answer 5

Yes they have a safety, on the right side of the receiver there's a safety bar, push it up for safe, push down to fire.

Answer 6

Yes it does have a safety catch. Like a H&K the fire selector at the top is safe. then semi auto and at the bottom setting fully auto

Answer 7

yes it has a saftey, and you can't fire it with the saftey on.

shows you how much they know about guns. (in movies)
