I have been looking, unfortunately while the picture is widely circulated the person in the photo is not named anywhere I can find. I will update the post if I come across anything.

The rifle in the picture is almost certainly a PM md. 65. I assure you they were made with dust covers. I have never seen a variation of a factory produced AK made without a dust cover.

A more likely, although still somewhat silly explanation is that sometimes AK dust covers can be tricky to get back on for someone inexperienced with them. Somebody may just give up in frustration and leave it off after disassembling and attempting to reassemble it.

Mandalorian was about $15 million per episode in season 1.

Clone Wars was about $1 million per episode.

Certainly cheaper to make cartoons than live action, but not exactly shoestring.

It’s difficult for me to find a good price analog to a 2D cartoon made recently that has a similar amount of action, and doesn’t have the budget weirdly skewed by licensing.

I would guess that to make a traditional animation as detailed, full of motion even in backgrounds, and full of constant action scenes it would probably be more expensive and time consuming compared to 3D.
