Lyrics of 'Finland Red, Egypt White' by The Sisterhood

Overall length eight hundred and seventy millimetres
Length of barrel four hundred and fifteen millimetres
Length of sighting line three-hundred and seventy-eight millimetres

Weight of magazine empty point-four-two kilograms
Weight of magazine loaded point-nine-two kilograms

Overall weight with loaded magazine four-point-eight kilograms
Chamber Pressure forty thousand, five hundred and fifty pounds per square inch

The seven-point-six-two millimetre Kalashnikov rifle
Fires seven-point-two-six-six-two millimetre rounds, M one-ninety

Muzzle velocity seven hundred and ten metres per second
Two thousand, three hundred and eighty feet per second
Specified rate of fire; six hundred rounds per minute

(Six hundred rounds per minute)

Service ammunition is divided into full cartridges
And special purpose cartridges
Full ammunition is used to destroy personnel

Special ammunition, depending upon its construction
Is designed for target identification and correction of fire
Ignition of fuel and highly flammable objects
Or destroying lightly armoured targets

Tracer cartridges are used for target identification
Fire adjustment, signal purposes and destroying personnel

(Destroying personnel)

Tracer bullets can ignite
The path of the bullet is indicated, by a red flame
Eight B incendiary cartridges are used to ignite fuel
Gasoline and for destroying targets protected by thick armour plate

The standard cartridge used by the AK-47 is the M-43
Bullet weight one-two-two grains, powder weight 25 grains
Standard markings, fool model PS, no colour
Tracer model T-four-five, green tip
Eight B I model BZ, black and red tip
Incendiary model T, type Z, red tip
Special cartridges, plastic, blank with metal case
Finland red, Germany black, Egypt white

Short range cartridges, full, round nose, lacquered steel case, white tip
Tracer, round nose, lacquered steel case, white and dark green tip

There are three basic models of the AK
AK-47; machined receiver, no bayonet lug
Polished hold and bolt cabinet
Sighted up to eight hundred metres

AK-M; stamped receiver, bayonet lug
Plug lined bolt, beaver tailed fore-grip
Range up to a thousand metres

RP-K; squad LMD, longer barrel
Equipped with seventy-five round drum magazine
Forty round box magazine
Or may use a standard thirty round magazine

Despite a specification of six-hundred rounds per minute
Extensive experience of all models, proves the full-automatic
Rate to be approximately eight-hundred rounds per minute

(Destroy personnel)
