Product Description:
The AK-47/74 series of rifle is one of the most prolific and useful
weapons on earth. More than 100 million have been made in various parts
of the world and the odds of encountering one of these weapons on the
battlefield or in a civil disturbance is high.

Best-selling author, and maverick combat shooting instructor Gabriel
Suarez has embraced the Kalashnikov rifle system for its utility,
accuracy and ruggedness. In this original Paladin Press production
Suarez teaches you the "caveman simple" skills you need to operate the
AK rifle platform and win in a combat environment.

Gabe addresses the common myths about the AK and he explains why the AK
is one of the best weapon choices for urban and close quarters combat.
He will teach you about the AK fire control system, proper use of the
sling, zeroing the AK and ready/carry positions. Then you will learn
about ambidextrous use of the rifle, snap shooting, CQB shooting and the
use of the rifle in movement. For information purposes only. Color,
approx. 120 min. total.

Summary: A great basic guide
Rating: 5

This DVD is well done with all basic information presented. It lives up to it's title.

Summary: Excellent Instruction on the AK - 47/74 rifle!
Rating: 5

Personally, I have never been a big fan of the AK 47/74 series of rifle. I'll admit that my use of them has been limited, a familiarization of them while in the Army. It is probably because I have not fired them much that I just never got "into" them. With that said, I agree with Suarez that it is good to be familiar with them because there are so many of them. He also provides good arguments as to why the rifle is one of his preferred weapons.

Suarez likes the Kalashnikov rifle system for its utility, accuracy, and ruggedness. In fact, after viewing this weapons I do have a better appreciate for the AK 47/74 series. (That should make my AK loving friends happy to hear).

"Kalashnikov Rifle Gunfighting: Too Simple to Be Tactical" with Gabriel Suarez is a very good instructional video on the AK 47/74 series of rifle. In approximately 97 minutes, Suarez provides excellent instruction on many aspects of this popular weapon. The DVD has a very good menu allowing the viewer to go to the section regarding the topic the viewer wishes to view.

Speaking of topics, Suarez covers just about everything you will want to know about these rifles. Chapters include:

Introduction
Ammunition and Magazines
The AK Control System
Stocks For the AK
Ak Conditions of Readiness
Loading and Unloading the AK
Gun Safety
Use of the Sling
Zeroing the AK
AK Optics
Assembly and Disassembly
Ready and Carry Positions
Snap Shooting
Close-Quarters Shooting
Ambidextrous Use of the AK
The Rifle in Movement
Reloading the AK
After-Action Assessment
Reactive Manipulations
CQB Displacements
Firing With the Stock Folded
Using Cover
Taking Corners
Weapon Retention
The AK as Impact Weapon
Shooting at Intermediate Distances

As you can see, Suarez provides a wealth of information on the DVD. You will also notice that not everything Suarez teaches in this program is applicable ONLY to the AK. He provides some great instruction on shooting and tactics that can apply regardless of the weapon you carry.

Paladin Press did a very good job of filming. It was filmed outdoors, but you can still hear Suarez clearly and the picture is always visible and easy to view. I found this to be a very valuable DVD for instruction on the AK and general firearms knowledge and tactics in general. If you own an AK I would strongly suggest you view this DVD. If you want a good program on rifle tactics and use, I would also recommend this DVD.

Summary: The AK Prodigy, Maverick, and Gunslinger Suarez is On Target Again!
Rating: 5

Let me start by saying that I do not personally know Gabe or have been trained by him. But own and have read all his books. All of which are our very good but due to the vast amount of material available on the subject he covers some material covered in other titles (which is not always a bad thing). But as far as his Kalashnikov Gunfighting series he breaks new ground on this weapon platform that is loved and hated (by the uninformed and uneducated). A few weeks ago I bought Gabe's book "Kalashnikov Rifle Gunfighting" (read my Amazon review). I used this book to help develop a training regime in Afghanistan for Afghani troops and praised this book in my review. I learned a lot of information from it and decided to buy the DVD. The DVD is fantastic, clear and concise plus with Gabe's personality and professionalism displayed on film compounded with his demonstrated capabilities I knew he was guy I would go through the door with. For all you gunslingers you this is a bold statement and I stand by it. The DVD covers most of the topics in the book plus a lot more and clarifies some points made in the book.

I recommend that both DVD and book be bought together. They are stand alone items but I feel the professional will get it hammered home using both. Just remember to forget everything you know about operating the AR/M4 platform and you will learn and enjoy this instruction for what it is; to learn how to operate the AK (not AR) in combat conditions. Gabe has started something here that it seems all are trying to copy to make a quick buck and that is the difference between Gabe's products and training. He loves the weapon system whereas other schools (of thought) are rounding out their curriculum to make more money on the new fade. Fortunately this is not a fade to Gabe but a way of life. I think Gabe will be known as the AK godfather of gunfighting. Bottom-line if you run an AK-series system get this DVD. I already ordered the new DVD "Advanced Kalashnikov Rifle Gunfighting," which I will also review.
