I really don't understand the beginning

edit: Okay, it's a gun

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
