“680 Shots Fired in Non-Stop Bursts" | Why Russia's Prized AK-12 Is a Battlefield Trophy for Ukraine
Переглядів 357,703
Рік томуIt has been 75 years since the first Soviet soldiers received the original Avtomat Kalashnikova, also known as the AK-47. However, in the 21st century, the 5th generation Kalashnikova rifles are one of the most lethal weapons in Russia’s sophisticated arsenal. AK-12s are believed to be more advanced than other Soviet-made rifles in Ukrainian military’s possession. Here's why the Russian AK-12s seem to have become a highly prized battlefield trophy for Ukrainian fighters.

That old g36 test was pretty fascinating especially considering they used 100 round mags which definitely got it hotter than using 30 rounders. And it wasn't even broken after the 900, they just stopped the test cuz it was on fire. But it was still chugging along. Heck even a standard m4 will push +/-700 rounds on average so the ak12 isn't *that* impressive in this regard. There's a private you tuber who about a month ago pushed a Radian ar15 over 1k + which was pretty crazy considering the gas system.. I see Ak's normally go down the minute there's some barrel warp, as the long stroke piston then goes out of alignment and fails to go into battery (usually at around +/-600ish rounds depending on if it's 762x39 or 5.45)

AK-47 modern improved Russian or Ukrainian version are the best. Easy to manufacture, maintain, rarely jam. Heavier more stopping power bullets. Suitable for short, intermediate range. For long range, accuracy, etc need specialized guns. Regardless, this war need to stop. Russia don’t need extra land. Too much suffering.

Russian propaganda would like you to believe the AK-12 is the best thing since sliced cabbages. Field reports out of Ukraine have shown the AK-12 has some serious flaws, one of the worst is the selector lever will override the lower part of the receiver when pushed down too hard, resulting in a stoppage of the rifle. The chrome bore and muzzle will corrode rapidly if old corrosive ammunition is used. The gas tube cannot be removed for cleaning, and the front handguards can move making them useless for optics or other sighting devices. Also, if the Russian design is so great, why are they emulating the superior accessory designs of the AMERICAN M-4? CRUX has been posting a lot of Pro-Russian propaganda.

@muddyhotdog4103 Місяць тому
They're also getting CZ-Bren 2's from Czech Republic and MSBS-GROTs from Poland which I'd say are better than most ak models. The ar15 is better in many regards when put in the right hands, but for poorly trained conscripts who are used to maintaining an ak it might not be "better" for them per-say. Don't get me wrong, AR's can handle a lot more abuse than people think, just a lot more can bring it down too if you're not trained on one. One thing I've beein seeing in Ukraine footage are many of the people using AR's that have old/used beat up usgi magazines, which are a weak link to the rifle if they're not circulated out over time, where as AK mags tend to be a lot more rugged and reliable over time..(tho new/maintained usgi mags work just fine, and I also see a lot of magpul pmags too which is great in terms of improved reliability imho)

@thaipankatima658 Рік тому
The AK variants are superior in terms of firepower largely because of its 7.62 caliber. But for many, it's like overkill That's why most of NATO prefer the 5.56 because it's enough to do the job. It's also lighter, making it easier to transport and carry around. Also. I don't believe that the AK-12 can fire 600 rounds without breaking. If you go burst mode with a drum magazine, the barrel is liable to break or melt off because of the extreme heat. In my opinion, stick with the tried and tested AK-47. We've all seen what Russian advance weapons can do lately. They're liable to shoot the wielder rather than the target. The boomerang missile being a fine example.

The nonstop fire torture test is applied by most militaries to test new firearms. They will set a certain level of firing that they will deem necessary. The test is unrealistic. You have a table with full magazines and a guy in heat proof gear and a protection from burst barrels. The guy loads and fires each mag in one burst, so 95 round drums, 60 round mags and 30 round mags will be 95 round, 60 round and 30 round bursts respectively but the empty mag is dropped and a new mag is loaded immediately. Ironically this is clearly a test the German military never performed on their G36s. Soldiers had to find out the hard way.
