   It is clearly seen why, since the second half of the 80s, there was a search for the optimal mass production muzzle device for the AK74 / AK74M. Muzzle devices of the modernized AK74 under the name A60, A61, borrowed from the RPK74, in 1987 showed an excellent muzzle suppression effect, especially when firing in bursts. But the decrease in efficiency at the same time did not satisfy the MO, so until now for the new rifle Army had requirements for the presence of a muzzle brake, while already in the 200th series and in the RMO, flash suppressors (with a compensator function) were introduced.

Might have been posted already, but I like this video. I personally wasn't aware of what kinds of innovations in portable weapons technology have been made in the last few years.

 

 

 

   So 1st one is basically PP-2000 and 2nd is SR-3M. Some hardcore i n n o v a t i o n right there.

These are the standard barrel length variant of the QBZ-191

Most likely the QBU-191, precision DMR version:

They mention that the QBU-191 variant will each come with an LPVO similar to the Trijicon VCOG in this video. It's likely is that the QBU-191 comes with the MLOK type handguard since in the pictures with the rifles with those handguards also seem to come with a LPVO scope.

 

One design requirement is that these rifles must be Wifi compatible (Actually the nightvision scope)

If they wanted to compete with the Knights LAMG they could have at least introduced a constant recoil system. The side feed only is interesting but it makes the receiver + feed "tray" overly bulky, they must be joking if they're telling people this chunky boy MG can be used like an assault rifle.

All these "assault" belt feds are a bit of a joke. I am glad they're trying, at least.

Im more curious about their barrel tech than the gun itself.

 

Another interesting note is that there are no operator barrel changes with EVOLYS. They’re so confident in the metallurgy of the barrel that you won’t have to swap barrels during sustained fire. Barrel changes will require tools and about two to three minutes to accomplish.

Who cares. This whole endeavor is stupid. A belt fed machine gun set up as a GPMG but which can't sustain fire as one? It's ridiculous.

   MoD purchases Udav pistols

Quote

   For the first time in modern history, the Ministry of Defense begins a massive purchase of Udav pistol systems. According to the plan, which Izvestia got acquainted with, almost 400 million rubles were allocated for the purchase of the first large batch of several tens of thousands of pistols. "Boas" will go mainly into the armament of special forces and intelligence units. The novelty will also be received by ordinary military personnel - drivers, signalmen, logistics specialists. Experts note that the most important feature of the complex has become a powerful cartridge with an armor-piercing bullet and the ability to silently fire.

/.../

   According to the procurement plan, which Izvestia has at its disposal, the defense department purchases Udav pistols in two main versions: 6P72 and special purpose 6P72-1. The kit of the latter includes an effective silencer and a laser designator. Deliveries of both versions will begin this year and should be completed by November 10, 2023.

Seems topsy-turvy. Surely Rosgvardia units would benefit from a cartridge that can pierce most commercially available vests, while the military personnel with less time at the range would benefit from a lower recoil impulse cartridge. It's not like 9x21 is going to defeat a level IV plate.

 

Then again, I can understand why the Rosguard wouldn't want to subject themselves to TsNIITOChMash quality control.

Well, judging by AK-12, Kalashnikov concern isn't far behind them, <_<
