Something of interest to me has always been the Wild West and particularly the Indians. And as any Western aficionado knows, the Sioux and others would frequently take White weapons sold them by traders and retrofit them and modify them for their needs and cannibalize parts. A common example of this is the Winchester, where the barrel was shortened as they were horseman warriors,the metal butt removed to be used in skinning and replaced with tanned hide, etc.

So what I ask is, in what way would the Lakota modify, retrofit and cannibalize the AK-47 to better fit their lifestyle and needs? This scenario is based on the idea of remaining nomadic and mobile warriors, though it can just be whatever type of Lakota it would take to survive to the present day. Bonus point for photoshopping.
