And if you miss? A very good probability that you'll unable to fight back.
This picture is made in reference to a video. I referenced the running gag on the channel where an old training manual said a way of fighting an enemy is to unscrew the pommel on your sword and throw it to "end him rightly." Just a little joke, though I don't see how you won't be able to fight back. You're just missing a pommel.
Don't know about WW2-era soldiers having earplugs, but you don't really wear actual earpros in combat.
I know now, soldiers have ear pro that has a microphone in it that blocks out all sound above a certain decibel range. You can pick one up yourself for about $10-$80
don't usually see the AK bullpup (name pls) that often in artwork.
I've only really seen an "AK Bullpup" in CoD Ghosts as the "VEPR" But we all know how smart it is to trust video games like that for facts and such of real life weaponry. Closest thing to an official name I can find is something made by CBRPS called an AKX1. Looks kind of cool, but I'm not much of an AK guy, so eh.
I read that the M16 Jammed because it was supposed to use a specific type of powder for the cartridges or something, but for cost reasons, the High-ups just decided to put in normal powder. Apparently, with the right cartridge, these things were pretty reliable.
