Is the mag on the left for 47 and on the right for 74? Or they are both for 74?

[Dennis G]

Permskii, defiantly one of the finest weapons ever created.


Have you ever met Mikhail Kalashnikov?

[Chrome Beretta]

Awsome pics man. The Ak is really sweet. Russians know how to make soemthing durable. Now, how does the Bizon work?, i can never figure that out. And i was waching the History channel and they said that their are over 200 diffrent AK varients that have been made, but only the main ones sell, is that true?.

[Scottie]

Good gun, but it kills.... :bash:

[oldsoak]

Good gun, but it kills.... :bash:

Erm....yes. Thats what guns are designed to do.

[Scaar.at]

thx for posting, yey its an ak woot

any spec on that AK with M203? Maybe some polish experiement? Looks weird :)

[Graeme]

I beleive it was either an isreali or palistinian experiment.

we have our own UGL Pallad it is better than M203 because we can put longer ammo it is opened more like AG36

[ßå$tĮТHÏ¿ð]

Excellent pics everyone.

Question though if someone can answer. I read that Russians never sighted in there Ak's and left the adjustments to the manufacturer. They always shot up and to the left to compinsate for this, is there any other country that doesnt adjust there sights that use's an Ak variant? Or is this just a Russian thing?

[American Patriot]

I find it hard to believe Russian soldiers didn't sight in their weapons.

Im sure the Russians use the GP launchers on their weapons not the M203 the M203 is for M16,M4 I think the Styer Aus has them too, And maybe C7,C8

[pipaz]

One thing i've noticed with the Polish is they have big foreheads and Noses

Don't be so sure about that! :D
But let's not hijack Perksmii's post...

[scrybe]

Good post PermskiiOMON, nice pictures. Only last 20 were red x'es over here. ;)


I hit refresh and a lot of them loaded the second time.


Excellent pics. I especially like that animated render of the AK firing. Also, how effective are those silencers? They seem fairly short.

[Undo]

Very reliable

Here (http://simondog.com/Vlad/60rnds.avi) Permskii dumps the 60 round mag.

[tony6]

That 60-rounds mag seems to be good idea. High firepower.
My only concern is about mag spring.
My friend who was in Iraq with the first group of our guys told me that M4/M16 mag springs had tendency to weaken when loaded with full ammo (causing some mulfunction while firing) especially in the warm Iraq climate. Some GROM dude told him that and warned him to reload the ammo from the mag every night to relieve the mag spring. Of course when You're out in the field on patrol or sth you don't have possibility to do that plus you have to have your mags loaded and ready.
That spring-problem goes with M4/M16 family. My friend told me that their Beryl mags didn't have that problem and they had their mags fully loaded all the time.
With 30 rounds it's not much of a problem but I wonder how it goes with 60 pieces?

[LongWay]

vodka? wtf...

I'm no drunk i can just handle my alchol, russian and polish vodka is great its just hard to find the good stuff, i still like beer i drink beer VB,tooheys extra dry, Fosters,Crownies yeah but vodka is great the taste isn't bad like people think plus russians wouldn't be russians without their vodka :P

[earl]

Very reliable

Here (http://simondog.com/Vlad/60rnds.avi) Permskii dumps the 60 round mag.

How new is the 60rnd mag? Do you expect it will become widely used by OMON (and other spetsnaz units?) Or did they have it there as a novelty?

I've seen lots of taped double-mags in use in Chechnya photos.

*edit* since this thread is about Russian weapons, I was just browsing ITAR-TASS photo database and found this from this year:

http://www.tassphoto.com/images/photo/2/d192/575.JPG

TAS 55. KIRGHIZIA. APRIL 26. Kirghiz servicemen familiarize themselves with arms ,combat and logistical equipment that were handed over to the republic by Russian representatives on the free basis at the "Kant" airfield. (Photo ITAR-TASS/ AKIpress/ Azamat Imanaliyev)

[GazB]

That spring-problem goes with M4/M16 family. My friend told me that their Beryl mags didn't have that problem and they had their mags fully loaded all the time.


The M16 uses mags of a rather different design. Note they are smaller and more compact... this means there is less room for the spring I guess.

ON the AK series mags there is a rather large area for the spring and I have never had any problems with ammo stored in the mags for a week during a long hunt. (It is safer and easier to have all my ammo in my mags rather than loose in pouches or in boxes or belt loops... I can unload my weapon simply by removing the mag at the end of the day... Note I don't chamber a round till I see what I am hunting... I am only hunting and there is no one shooting back at me so I don't need it to be ready to fire instantly. I have missed a few animals with this safety procedure but have never had any accidents either).

With the wider mags for the 60 round mags I would expect more room for a wider spring.

I have seen pictures of these 60 round mags a few years ago but I think they are post 2000 in design.

They are not a new idea as a SMG called the Spectre also used double stacking to carry about 60 SMG rounds in a small package.


Question though if someone can answer. I read that Russians never sighted in there Ak's and left the adjustments to the manufacturer.

As far as I know the rifles were zeroed with a special zeroing tool that was not issued to individual soldiers. They had a tool in their cleaning kit to raise or lower the front sight post so they could adjust that, but they didn't get a drift tool. This suggests to me that they were zeroed before they were issued and could be adjusted vertically by the soldier in the field but any horizontal inaccuracies could not be adjusted for.

The RPK and RPK-74 LMGs did have windage adjustment however as did SVDs and PKs.

[Undo]

It's worth noting that the 60rnd mag is pretty heavy, but is considerably lighter than the 50rnd drum for the AKM.

Are those pics from VBS1 or Flashpoint? If its Flashpoint, which mod, it looks pretty well made. I help out over at Ballistic Addons occasionally but not had the chance to test any new stuff for quite a while :roll:

I'm almost sure that this isn't Chechnya, but instead a picture of SVD, from the FDF site www.mil.fi

Actually it is, if you notice the rifle has been disassembled

I know, but accidents do happen. I remember that one of the first Polish casualties in Iraq died like this...

What exactly happened to that Polish when he dissambled his weapon?

Like one lady sings: "Almost doesn't count..."
FDF site has "borrowed" it from a first Chechen war photo gallery, and I am 100% sure ;)
