Cool video thanks
Interesting to see that 5.45 rifles are in service for police and other smaller units. I got a laugh when he talked about the AKSU being a status symbol and how bad everyone wanted one, then said "Every real soldier knows the only thing Suchka is good for is to shoot yourself" Z |

I wonder why they hate on the Suchka so much. Must be in FA where it performs bad.

Funny how he shit-talks Chinese AKs.. He states; "You can feel the quality when you pick them up" as he picks up the chicom mag.. Hilarious .. He is a faithful to his country's product
Love his comments on the deplorable care that the rifles are subjected to |

I think it's the ballistics. The short barrel cuts 5.45 down to about 2,200 FPS and significantly increases muzzle blast and muzzle flash. It's within a few hundred feet per second of .22 Magnum. Really neuters the cartridge. |

Mine seems to shoot well out 500. Just sayin. Of course that's just steel targets on a range.

Remember though that 7N6 is designed to tumble and it is not velocity dependent on terminal effects. They specifically designed the cartridge this way and though I am sure the the ASKU had nothing to do with the design of the bullet, it benefits from it more than an SBR AR for example |

..... When I said mine was Chinese, I became the object of their pity. [ETA: Great video BTW; 'Special tape' / 'Underwear sling' = AK Bling!] |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Valid point, but in urban combat, barrier penetration becomes a pretty significant factor, and a 53 grain bullet at 2,200 FPS isn't going to impress anyone at that game. General note I wonder how well 7N22 does for intermediate barriers, and if it still uses the unstable tumbling effect of 7N6. Like the West the former Soviet Union and Russia modernized bullets along the way as lessons learned set in |

Love videos like this. Some of the shit you see on these fighting weapons is truly bizarre / fascinating. There appear to be some decent weapons over there. If these guys had good cleaning kits and a USMC-like dedication to wep maintenance, they'd be good to go.

I always find it fascinating how fully automatic weapons are just everywhere in third world countries, while being illegal pretty much in all surrounding areas. I know the black market provides them, as well as foreign governments, but I always wonder how many of them were semi autos that were simply upgraded to full auto for combat.
I believe it would be extremely easy to convert any semi auto rifle to full auto. The only reason there aren't thousands of full auto AR's and AK's here is because people obey the law, and and criminals don't even see much use in full auto within our borders. |

I found it interesting that the reporter was ATACs camo and a US style helmet.

Over on the AK files someone asked about a Russian gear shop (it appears as though this place sells overruns of RUS government equipment) and provided a link. There were some pretty clear HSGI taco pouch ripoffs on there for like $18.

I talked guns with a lot of old timers in Afghanistan and they all regarded Chinese AKs poorly as well. |

A friend of mine in Kurdistan has acquired a FA AK and a M16a4 within the last year... dirt cheap too.

Exactly.. I think it has more to do with national pride in "the original" than quality of the weapons. Chinese run just as good as Russian and just as accurate for just as long. Your mileage may vary or your taste differ in preferred tonic... |
