The Kalashnikov weapons family are the most widely used and distributed guns in the world, and are in use in all the major conflicts during these times. They are said to cause around 250,000 deaths each year, and are in use in many standing armies around the world. Panteao Productions teamed up with Travis Haley of Haley Strategic Partners to produce a video aimed to help you ready with the Kalash --- the "Make Ready with Travis Haley: Adaptive Kalash."

Airsoft players from the Komrads group would be the first in line for this video as they're the widely known airsoft group deeply into the airsoft AK. We're expecting to be excited about this video as they are always on the lookout for anything related to the AK.

The AK-47 and the other AK variants are scattered around the world, with over a 100 million of them in use, and to testament of their durability and reliability, a great number of these are even much older than most soldiers, rebels, and terrorists using them. If you have read "The Gun" by CJ Chivers, you will understand the development, fear and respect of the AK.

Travis Haley emphasizes that the AK, no matter how it is reviled in the media for all of its destructive effects in societies nowadays, deserves to be understood and respected. If by any chance that you find yourself in a conflict area, the high likelihood that you will encounter an AK, or may just have a real need for it. According to the Panteao Productions on the video:
