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

Viking Fishing Kayaks. Made in New Zealand and absolutely bulletproof.

Fruit of the Loom men's briefs.

AR-15

Also, the 1911 class of pistols. Can't go wrong with the OG Colt Government Model. As in, it can't jam, fail to feed, fail to eject, fail to chamber, fail in any way.

Honorable mention goes to Hi-Point. Ugly and heavy fucking guns, but they function flawlessly and last forever.

Akai 4000ds Reel to Reel tape player. So many are still working, built like a tank. They're super cheap on the used market.

Sony MDR-V6. I've had them for 15+ years, only had to change ear pads to velour ones after the first 5 years of use, after that 10+ years, no issues.

MSI motherboards. I've seen one fail out of 1000+.
