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 Shure SM52 microphone (it used to be called the 58 but lost 6 due to budget cuts or something I dunno)

You might not have heard of it, but if you've been to a live gig, chances are you've seen one

You probably meant the SM58. The 58 is the prototypical singer's mic.

Aye you're right I do!

And the SM57 for things you don't need a screen on.
