Cons brief edit

Although the AK47 assault rifle is recognized as a good gun and is the brightest star of the 20th century rifle ranks, it has a number of shortcomings, and in terms of performance, it also has many shortcomings: the АК-47 barrel wrap is too small, the shape of the M43 bullet is not good, and the bullet is too stable when hitting the target,

The destruction effect is not ideal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Due to the serious muzzle jump during automatic shooting, the bottom of the receiver hits the bottom of the receiver when the backseat of the bolt frame, the short barrel leads to a short aiming baseline, and the design of the sight is not ideal, etc., which affects the shooting accuracy, and accurate shooting cannot be guaranteed beyond 300 meters (of course, if the scope is not installed at 300 meters away, it cannot be aimed normally at all), the accuracy of continuous shooting is lower, and the AK-47 throws the shell very far, nearly 2 meters, which is easy to expose the shooter's position in actual combat! In fact, it can meet the requirements of more close-range assault operations based on encounters. When the bullet is discharged, there is a slight flutter at the end of the barrel, which leads to a decrease in the accuracy of the shot, and sometimes the soldier complains about why the accuracy of the shot is poor when firing continuously, and the chances of hitting the target directly are rare. The flight trajectory of the M43 bomb is unstable. The AK-47, without technological improvements, is already too backward in modern warfare, which is the main reason why the former Soviet Union dismantled the AK-47 and replaced it with the AK-74 on a large scale after 1974.

In fact, Kashlannikov began to improve the AK-54 type in 47, and the third type was finalized as AKM, and in 59 it was equipped for use in the troops. So most of what you see on the TV network is the AKM instead of the AK-47.

Major models and derivatives edited

AK-47

The AK-47 assault rifle standard, finalized and put into production in 1949, was developed for mechanized infantry, and in the same year the Soviet Army officially adopted the AK-47 to replace the original Simonov SKS semi-automatic rifle.

AKS-74U

AKC-47U

AKC-47U

AKS-74U is an improvement of the AK74 rifle by the former Soviet firearms designer Krasnikov, manufactured by the former Soviet Union State Arsenal, finalized in 1974, and assembled in 1977. The gun is a small-caliber gun that fires specially developed 5.45mm rounds, and the length and rifling winding of the barrel and the shape of the chamber, the automaton and the ammunition feeding mechanism have been improved, and some parts are still compatible with the AK-74. The AK-74 rifle has two stocks: a fixed stock, called the AK-74; Folding the buttstock, it is called AKC-74 (for elite units such as paratroopers).

AKM

A large number of parts are stamped and welded, and the casing is manufactured by stamping instead of machining, and the weight is reduced to 3.15 kg. A hammer deceleration device has been added to the trigger assembly, eliminating the possibility of a firing pin firing when striking the primer of the bullet. The muzzle is equipped with a simple bevel-cut muzzle anti-jump device to improve the dispersion accuracy when firing in bursts. АКМС is a model of the folding butt of АКМ.

AK-74

Equipping the Soviet army in the early 70s, the AK-74 gradually replaced the AKM, and was first seen at a military parade on Red Square in Moscow on November 7, 1974. Due to the success of the M16, in the 1960s and 1970s, many countries have developed small-caliber rifles, and the comprehensive performance of small-caliber bullets is higher than that of 7.62mm intermediate-power bullets, so the Soviet Union also began to develop new small-caliber rifle cartridges and weapons.

AKMSU is a short-barreled AKMS, which is extremely rare and difficult to find, so there are several rumors about the authenticity of this gun: first, the production of this gun is extremely low, and only a small amount is equipped with special forces; the second is that only prototype guns were designed, and they were not produced or equipped with troops; The third is that the factory did not design or produce this gun at all, but only the product of some individual's own modification.

Other anecdotes edits

There was once a theory that the AK-47 was copied from the German Stg44 assault rifle, and the evidence is that the two are similar in appearance. But in fact, the basic structure and principle of the Stg44 and AK-47 are very different; It's just a similarity in the contour projection. The most similar thing about the Stg44 and the AK-47 is the design concept, but at that time, only the Stg44 was the only reference with mature technology and a lot of practical experience. The AK-47 is an innovatively designed rifle that combines the essence of its predecessors with the designer's own technical nature.

There was a quip in the 1970s: "The United States exports Coca-Cola, Japan exports Sony appliances, and the Soviet Union exports AK-47s." According to the statistics of the former Soviet Union, 9% of the АК-47 series of automatic rifles in the world are imitations, and only about 10% are actually produced in the former Soviet Union.

АК-47 was once a favorite gun of bandits. In the past, the Hong Kong police were mainly armed with guns for defensive purposes, so they were only equipped with .38 pistols. Later, Ye Jihuan, Ji Bingxiong, Zhang Ziqiang and other gangsters continued to commit crimes in Hong Kong, and were equipped with powerful АК-47 automatic rifles, which once made the police helpless. Later, it was only through the improvement of firepower and the strengthening of intelligence and other departments that the situation was reversed and the bandits were brought to justice.
