i have seen quite a lot of pics here with russian soldier handling the good old ak47s. i can understand they love those 7.62 bullets but why dont they use sth newer such as the ak103s ?
(just my curiosity, i dont know much about russia)
Russian? yes.
Will it be a lot of soldiers? I've seen a lot of pics of AKMs used, but to say that russian soldiers use ak-47s a lot... well maybe i'm blind. After all akm is modified ak-47 (maybe i jumped the cliff because i thought about russian soldiers in hot zones like chechen war etc.)
so why dont they use ak103s instead ? or are they only available for export ?
Model 3 ak47 are the mos durable and precise to shoot Ak.it just took more time and was more expensive for mass production so they moved to stamped receiver Akm.
here's a pic shot in Albania.All folding stock type56 we had from China are with milled receiver and also the majority of wooden stock ones.same for soviet
