| Not to sound ignorant, but what exactly is Keyholing in an AK ? |
|
Quoted:
Imagine what kinda damage a round would do to someone if it keyholed when it hit then. 5,45x39 7N6 was designed to roll when it hit body to make more serious damage, thats why there is empty space on top core. So this ammo allways keyhole when it hit something more hard than paper target. Anyway any type of rounds in this caliber are unstable so any trifle in weapon can make bullet roll (sometimes or allways) before hit anything |

wow, thats fucked up. Do the Century AK's really do this? I have a WASR with about 5-600 rounds thru it and i havnt had those kind of problems. Im looking at buying a milled polish AK from century and I heard the keyhole was an issue with them? The problem is with low end 5.45x39 AKs, not 7.62x39 |

Proper rifling and bore diameter makes keyholing essentially impossible, which is something that Century apparently does not understand. |
