That's an AKS-74N - it's both ancient and heavily worn so that's probably more of a rail issue rather than optics.
Which is more likely, the dude simply forgot to fully fasten it (lever on the rail adapter).

Its just an example of do-rag spetsnaz reverse quick scoping. Its on the curriculum just after backflip axe throws.

Last one was a burnt-down KSVK.
There are two ways to look at it. Shooting and owning.
Everyone can shoot by law, on shooting ranges.
These usually have a wide range of rental guns. Example MSZU: http://www.mszu.de/de/schiessen/leihwaffen.html
There for example the rental guns are 20e per day per gun, plus lane rent and ammo cost. So actually quite affordable.
Regarding ownership, it requires certain aspects to be met, that I pointed out before: accountability, training, background.
These also make a lot of sense if you ask me.
If you want a mosin and take it to the range every now and then, you are a sports shooter by legal logic.
So you have to literally go to the range for a year and have that stamped in a record of shooting to show that you maintain proficiency (you will practically get a stamp for visiting a shooting range and renting a lane for any duration, 30 mins are np). Also within your "probational year" where you "show your serious interest" you have to do your certified proficiency check (Waffensachkunde) and find a club of the state certified orgs (DSB, BDS, BDMP, DSU). After 1 year, you may get a WBK (Waffenbesitzkarte), show your safe storage capability, and you are good to go.
These initial hurdles may seem tough, but it will also allow you to buy literally semi auto assault rifles or whatever you want really. A mosin or an AR15 or a .50 bmg sniper rifle are not a big difference by law. (unlike Austria where pumpguns are illegal, but not semi auto shotguns! and other obscurities).
There are other ways to obtain a firearm, but these are the typical "casual shooting" steps.
There are tiers far beyond that, including access to literally "semi auto mp5sd" types of weapons and what not.
Mate, I know that. And I'm fine with the most of that. I am certainly however not going to join a Verein just so I can get a freaking Mosin to do some fun shooting every now and then. And I would prefer to own a rifle (not necessarily Mosin, would go nerd and probably end up with a match rifle) for that.
And as far as I am aware and you so blissfully ignored is that after that year (which is ok) you will still have to stay in the Verein and train regularly as well as compete so the need doesn't expire. That part is what keeps from going through all these hoops.
Yes, its good, when it costs money to own something it means idiots who do not have their life sorted out can own something like a gun since they can not afford it.
Also the whole regular training thing gets rechecked once, after 3 years.
So after these 3 years its all cruising for even for sports shooters.
I actually do not think the rules for sports shooters are bad, I think its good that there is a bit of a jump to do initially. That said, I am just armchair quarterbacking here as I am not subject to any of these requirements.
I don't mind the rules that much either. But do me a favor, please? Stop saying it is easy to get a gun in Germany when obviously it's not. And you can't claim that getting a Jagdschein is easy either. Once you got either of those things done though, getting a gun is retardedly easy, I agree. But up to that point it is harder than even Austria for example.
Found a really good comparison video of sights. Hit on all the criteria I was thinking of (except deviation after 500-1000 rounds), as well as some others I hadn't thought of. Worth watching.
