I've taken a couple tactical shotgun classes so it's hard to break the muscle memory of using a modern shotgun with an old school one.


Oh, I got one. The first time I've ever shot an AK, I tried to charge it by having my left hand go under, but forgot the safety was still on and wondered for a good 5 seconds what's wrong before flicking it off.
