This rather absurd combination with custom magazine was captured in a Mexican drug raid.
The black & white image above showing an AK being brandished & church in the background was taken at Wounded Knee, South Dakota during the American Indian Movement protests in 1972. I actually met him at a motel shoot out in Scottsbluff, Nebr.

DRAWKSO POMORSKIE, POLAND
The president of the Polish Army Veterans Association fires an AK-47 during a marksmanship competition alongside soldiers from the U.S. army, Polish army and other retired Polish soldiers at a firing range at Forward Operating Site Drawkso Pomorskie Training Area, Poland, on May 27, 2021. Participants first fired from different firing positions at targets ranging from 25 meters to 350 meters within 60 seconds, then conducted hands-on familiarization exercises with Polish and U.S. weapons, allowing soldiers to train side by side to build self-confidence and encourage teamwork between allied forces
**Blue arrow points to lighten cut to identify this rifle as the AK-47 from that of the Kbk AKM model. The Red arrows point to the two key features that distinguish this as the rifle-grenade version and of Polish origin. NOTE: this rifle has the AKM/AKMS compensator.
