The AKs were made in Iraq for years. That would be Middle East.

Actually, that would be South West Asia... and the Iraqi Yugo Clones (the only ones made there), are pretty good. Having been to Iraq and spent some quality time with Iraqi AKs, I can tell you I never had a problem with their rifles, but their ammo was exceptionally poor. Actually, their rifles were so nice, I suspect they imported the parts from Serbia, and just assembled them in Iraq (the parts nearly indistinguishable from Yugo AK parts).

They were (probably still are) made in Egypt. That would be Middle East.

The Egyptian AKs were made on Russian tooling with Russian supervision, and were some of the best AKs not made in Russia. They also got parts from the East Germans, who make a fine AK as well.

And there are the reputed AK copies made by hand in oil-lamp lit sheds in the Khyber Pass area. Which you shoot if you want to hold an exploding rifle. But that is probably not the Middle East and our fearless medic could not possibly allow those in his classes, right?

The Khyber Pass is also in Asia.
