This is not a conversation about guns. This is a conversation about items that have withstood abuse that are near unbreakable.

Some items I have heard referenced as AK47 of:

Gerber MP600: It's a multi tool

Old Thinkpad Laptops

Mag lights

Toyota Hilux

~~Rice cookers.~~

~~You can get really simple ones that just work and due to little components they will last a while. IMO they're really worth it if you cook rice often or can't for the love of god not mess it up while cooking. They're really cheap as well.~~

Maybe the Nvidia GeForce 10xx cards? Super cheap compared to the 9xx cards, and still going strong!

Can confirm. I have a 1080ti and a 1070ti on my PCs. They can run just about any game comfortably at 1440p, which is my preferred resolution.
