Update: A couple of our readers commented that I had misidentified the man in the photo. They are correct -- the masked gunman is a Peshmerga fighter from Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region. Thanks for catching this. Sorry guys.
I love this news photo. Take a look at this guy's weapon. I saw the M4-style stock first and then the rails.
But then I noticed that this guy's AK doesn't have a pistol grip. Why would he do that?
I think the best thing about this photo is someone took the time to attach a crude, M16-style carrying handle to complete this AK's tricked-out look.
