LoooSeR Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Why this is a seprate thread? Most of those guns a boring and nothing special.

Sturgeon Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Seems pretty obvious to me. Russian infantry-related stuff. Makes a ton of sense, since 80% of what gets posted here is that anyway. Might as well have its own separate thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Also, something I've noticed: The new AK-12 mags have a side latch position, like an AR mag. Makes me wonder what that's for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burst fire was sort of a short-lived fad, and I don't think that any AKs were ever mass produced with burst limiters. It was just something that was offered if it would help sales.

Collimatrix Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 OK, I'll give this thread a try: So, here's what we know so far: AM-17 and AMB-17 are supposed to be based on the old Dragunov MA design: This design featured a steel "spine" that served as a contact point for the moving parts. The weapon was made, otherwise, almost entirely of plastic. This is a good design for cheap mass-manufacture, and should also eliminate some of the problems with other plastic receivers in rifles. It is not clear if the AM-17 supersedes the reborn Dragunov MA that was first shown about a year ago: SVCh is apparently also based (at least loosely) on the old Dragunov MA design, but it is apparently not the same thing as the SVK that was shown earlier (Max Popenker has also said this). PL-15K looks like it might be striker-fired, and at least one brochure described the design as being optionally striker-fired. The original PL-14 prototype was clearly hammer fired with an internal hammer: (#3 is the hammer) The original arrangement, with the internal hammer, is better in my opinion than a Glock-style striker. Strikers have two main advantages over hammers. The first advantage is that they allow a lower bore axis. The second advantage is that they are cheaper to make. The PL-14 design solved the first problem, and the PL-14 clearly had a bore axis just as low as any striker-fired gun. It seems unlikely that they were also able to make it just as cheap as a striker, but the price different is small in any case. Hammers have a number of small advantages over strikers. Hammers generally have greater spring energy and will reliably ignite ammunition with hard primers that strikers will not. Additionally, Glock-style strikers are pushing against the frame in the opposite direction of the return spring when the slide is in battery. MP-444 is described as striker-fired, but appears to have a hammer. Did the rep mis-speak? Otherwise, it looks very generic. The big, square breech section of the barrel suggests that it is yet another tilting-barrel, short-recoil design that locks the slide and barrel together at the ejection port. It appears that Kalashnikov Concern hired a product designer to improve the appearance of their products. They do look much better now (the AM-17 in particular), but they also look very generic.
