How to tell an AK from an SKS

To further aid those of you who aren't gun people on the difference between the SKS and the AK-47 type rifles here are a couple of videos. The first shows a young man loading and firing an SKS. Notice how he begins by loading cartridges into the weapon's internal magazine from stripper clips.



Next is a man discussing the various flaws on the AK-47 type rifles. Not how he inserts and removes the magazine. This is the principle difference between the AK-47 type rifle and the SKS.
