The Truth About Russia s AK 12 is it over hyped
The Regular Russian Infantry are getting issued a brand new primary weapon for the first time since 1974. The new features on the Next Generation AK12 tells us a ton about how the Russian military is planning to adjust their fighting doctrine for their next potential conflict. Vladimir Zlobin became the chief designer. Zlobins visionary prototype was a revolutionary departure from the AK series. On 6 September 2016 Sergey unveiled his version of the Ak12 and what we ended up getting after all that media hype was actually just a pretty modest small improvement over the AK74. It weighed 7. 7 lbs unloaded which is very slightly less than the AK74 it had a slightly increased effective range to 440 meters and its felt recoil is slightly lower thanks to buttstock being inline with the new free floated barrel. This version had the really unusual strange 2 round burst mode so I guess were just arbitrarily picking our burst numbers now Whats next, a 12 round burst I give up. Follow my Instagram: www.
