This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I really don't understand the beginning
edit: Okay, it's a gun
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKS
For more context, it is an incredibly cheap rifle.
Not anymore!
It was the Russian standard rifle (that fires AK47 bullets) when their standard SMG was the AK47, right before they realized that the AK47 works just as well as a rifle and just made the AK47 their standard rifle. That didn't stop Stalin from stockpiling enough of em for WW3 tho.
So, when the USSR collapsed, they dumped approximately seven hundred trillion SKSes onto the market and they were selling for less than $100 each. Which made them cheap until Americans realized they were both cheaper and better than a hipoint.
Most were cheaply made, and you can still find good examples for around $400-$500, same as a cheap AR.
I only understood because i played Rust before :D
I only understood it because it because I know soviet guns
