This is not a conversation about guns. This is a conversation about items that have withstood abuse that are near unbreakable.
Some items I have heard referenced as AK47 of:
Gerber MP600: It’s a multi tool
Old Thinkpad Laptops
Mag lights
Toyota Hilux
The EV 635A. Built. To. Last.

I swear to god - on a dare I used one as a hammer and it lost 0 range on the SA.
Toughest mic and best DR of it’s 1965 class. Still a viable non-phantom , mono drum or ambient mic.
True believer!
