Kovrov's Kalashnikov MG for assault operations - PRSh.

   The history of similar machine guns begins in the first half of the 2010s, when Igor Mikhailovich Vasiliev, better known as Nomad, entered the arms service of the FSB of the Russian Federation. At that time, there was an urgent question about the need for an assault machine gun - a weapon that made it possible to conduct long-term, high-power fire in close combat conditions, when working in small settlements, near ambushes in mountainous and wooded areas. One of the areas of work is the development of such a machine gun based on a standard machine gun chambered for a rifle cartridge. Igor Mikhailovich receives a patent for a machine gun made in a short layout (according to the bullpup scheme).

 

   The manufacturer was designated “Zenitka”. Subsequently, there is an appeal to another manufacturer - directly to the manufacturer of machine guns of the PK - ZiD family. The topic moves to the R&D level, code “V******”. The developed sample based on the PKP is supplied to the units. The machine gun cannot be said to fully meet the customer’s expectations, and therefore the concept is being developed. Already in the second half of the 2010s, a significantly different model appeared, which received the independent name “PRSh” - Manual Assault Machine Gun. The machine gun, manufactured in an extremely limited series, entered service with the Special Purpose Centers of the FSB and the FSO of the Russian Federation.

 

   The machine gun is a variant of the Kalashnikov machine gun, distinguished by a significantly shortened butt, a handle moved to the front of the receiver, a reflector opposite the cartridge ejection window that redirects the cartridges down, a box installed with an inclination in a vertical plane, a forend, a bipod containing front handles, similar to 6P69 barrel with a frame with a Picatinny rail and mechanical sights, a rest for firing from window openings and in similar conditions, a three-chamber muzzle brake, and other ergonomic and design changes.

And then there's Wolfgar, who posted an apologist documentary about how Hitler didn't really want World War II, and tried really hard to prevent it...

Just amazing.

Phil is a shill.

communist shills often dnt like it when their tactics to suppress freedom of speech is turned on them..."i was banned because i dared.......WWII" such a communist shill

 

people with the biggest most misguided opinion on the Germans in WW2 are often those who refuse to do any actual research and/or who never set eyes upon the ORIGINAL mein kampf...but who follow and use the jewish authored COMMUNIST MANIFESTO as a life guide

More on RPL-20

   Let me start with the fact that at present a batch of new 5.45-mm machine guns from the Kalashnikov concern is waiting to be sent to State tests, based on the results of which a decision will be made on whether to adopt the RPL-20.

   Previously, the machine gun had already passed preliminary tests at the Russian Defense Ministry, after which, based on the wishes and comments of the military, the concern’s specialists made the necessary changes to the design of the machine gun and at Army 2024 they are showing a modified version, manufactured in 2022.

   It is interesting that during preliminary tests the good performance of the machine gun together with the complete low-noise firing device was especially noted. Izhevsk designers managed to create an original PMS design that can actually withstand machine-gun firing modes - “cans” suitable for assault rifles simply burn out in such conditions.

   The 5.45-mm RPL-20 light machine gun is a belt-fed automatic weapon, the automation of which works by removing gases from the barrel through a side hole. The weapon is equipped with an automatics with a long stroke piston  and a traditional Kalashnikov weapon locking unit with a rotary bolt equipped with two lugs.

 

   Unlike the PK, the gas engine of the RPL-20 is located above the barrel. This was done, first of all, to ensure the rigidity of the receiver structure, which should provide for reliable fastening of sighting systems of various composition, size and weight.

 

   The trigger mechanism provides only automatic fire. The shot is fired “from the rear sear” - when the moving parts of the automation are in the rearmost position. This is a typical machine gun solution that improves barrel cooling and allows, in our case, to meet customer requirements for machine gun firing modes before cooling. For the RPL-20 this is 400 rounds in intensive mode (RPK74M has 180 rounds)

 

   The barrel of the RPL-20 is non-replaceable, although the possibility of replacing it if the resource is exhausted or damaged is provided (in a weapons workshop). The warranty life for the RPL-20 is set at 20,000 rounds.

 

   According to customer requirements, machine gun versions with barrels of different lengths were developed - 415 mm (like the AK74/12 machine gun) and 590 mm (like the RPK74 machine gun). The first is intended to arm assault units and special forces units, and the second is conventionally called “infantry”. The weight of an empty machine gun with a long barrel is about 5.5 kg.

The RPL-20 is fed with cartridges from a non-loose steel belt with a capacity of 100 or 200 cartridges of 5.45x39 caliber, which is placed in semi-rigid boxes.

 

   Regular loading of the machine gun is very simple - the tape tongue is simply inserted into the receiver window. If you are using an incompletely loaded belt, to lay it you need to fold down the receiver cover with the fire control handle.

   By the way, the belt for the RPL-20 machine gun in Izhevsk was developed on the basis of the Kovrov belt from the Kord-5.45 (Tokar-2) machine gun and, if necessary, it can be modified for use as a loose one.

 

   In the RPL-20, the cartridge is fed with preliminary removal of the link from the fed cartridge. (the feed of large-caliber machine guns “Utyos”/“Kord”, etc.) is arranged in a similar way. When the moving parts of the automation roll back to the rearmost position, the cartridge from the working link is squeezed onto the tray below it and is subsequently directed by the bolt into the chamber along the optimal trajectory.

 

   To answer the obvious question about recalibrating the RPL-20, I will immediately answer that prototypes for 7.62x39 and 5.56x45 are already successfully operating in Izhevsk. Their future depends solely on the customer’s presence/absence of such options.

   Another new product this year can be considered the proposed updated smooth-bore 18.5 mm special carbine with a box magazine (18.5KS-K).
   The proposed carbine package includes an extended muzzle tube, a 6Х64 handle and a new complete stock. 18.5KS-K was previously adopted only by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Russian National Guard. At the moment, there is no interest in adopting the 18.5KS-K in the Russian Ministry of Defense, according to representatives of the manufacturer.

Kalashnikov: state tests of the 5.45-mm AM-17 compact assault rifle completed.

The state tests of the new AM-17 assault rifle have been completed successfully. At the moment, the Kalashnikov concern is formalizing the test results and preparing the necessary documentation to obtain the letter "O1" for this product.
