The list of abuses that you can do to an AK just seems to never end. ( Mattv2099 goes into detail in that regard ) But, Taofledermaus shows how you can get an AK running without its main recoil spring. Turns out all you need is a few rubber bands connected from the front sight tower to the charging handle.

It would have to jump the rails to do that and that would be unlikely, but not impossible.
This looks a little careless, a little wreckless, but really a lot of thought and testing went into this before I handed the rifle to the shooter. We made sure we knew how far back the bolt and pen would travel back. We wanted it to come perilously close to his face for shock value. We also put a buffer in the receiver to prevent the bolt from jumping out of the rails. I say all this because I don’t want viewers to think this is something they should try to do themselves. You can get hurt in the worse case, or just mangle up your gun.
