also Hamas has enough actual gear that they wouldn't be using pieces of fraying twine as slings

Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



trigger guard looks weird/chunky, we'd expect to see a bolt or rivet opposite the fire selector on that side, handguard looks weird, pistol grip looks weird and uh no barrel bore as noted.

at the risk of Doing OSINT, these look fake as hell. literally less convincing than a 100 dollar airsoft replica

worth noting they are all laid with the side that has the chamber/ejection port and fire selector to the ground, likely because they look even faker laid out in the other direction

Theyre rubber training rifles

Israeli situation is so desperate they are running out of actual AKs to use as props

A hamas representative came out and said that alot of what the Israelis are parading are a bunch of parade props and models.

I'm not even sure what you'd train for with those, just gun-holdin'? Martial arts? It doesn't look like the magazines can be removed and I'm sure the other side where all the moving parts are supposed to be is even more comical, so it's not like you're doing anything mechanical with them

Really basic tactical movement and disarm/retention techniques, I would think. It's not impossible they were used in militant training, but I find it most telling that staging the Bust Photo they laid them barrel facing left. Exactly like you would if you knew you had a background extra quality prop and needed to present it to look a little less fake.

They're used usually in force-on-force training (think shoot houses/hand to hand combat) or props for opfor usually yeah

It's actually impressive they have them tbh because it demonstrates a certain level of training sophistication and professionalism

my guess would be close combat training. when you're learning how to bash someone in the face with a rifle butt or stab them with the barrel, you'd ideally want something that doesnt cause real injuries.

a lot of armies use them in training, like when theyre training how to raid a building, and theyll yell Bang Bang Bang

and a lot of bein in the army involves just walkin around with ur gun anyways and not even shootin it so u dont always need a real gun for trainin

It's a jump cut in a video, they probably just had some guy at the training facility lay them out on tarps and film them on his iPhone
