Maks seem to be the hot topic lately, and I have been reading with much interest about them since Oris mentioned he loved the little pistols (I respect and agree with Oris' thoughts about guns). It seems that the Bulgarians are the most widely available and economically priced versions on the market right now. Now for my questions:
1) What's the difference between the commercially made B.M.'s (Arsenal) and the "military surplus" B.M.'s? Which one is better?
2) Why do many people seem to be almost fanatical about their Maks? I hear comments all the time about how great they are and how they are the most "fun" gun to shoot? Are they that great? Can a blowback pistol be THAT much fun to shoot?
3) What's the attraction besides the price and durability of the pistol?
Thanks for the opinions. I'm just trying to decide whether or not the Bulgie Mak is worth pursuing to add to my collection.
