| I've seen a video of him actually shooting an AK-100 series. It was probably a couple of years ago, but he seemed in good shape except for a little case of the "shakes" (too much vodka, maybe). He lives a modest life, but is regarded as a hero in the Federation. |
| The practical field service of the AN-94 doesn't seem too promising without some redesign. The rear sight is unprotected and the complicated pulley-and-cable system doesn't sound very reliable, even for a Russian design. The problem with 7.62x39 seems to be accuracy and the problem with 5.45 is knock-down power. Maybe the next thing will be soemthing like the 6.8 in an AK-100 style design. |
More like "supplement" than "replace". I understand that Russia is having a hard time funding the AN-94. It's going to take decades to replace the AK74, if they ever get around to doing it at all. |
