AK was so well designed for battle. Many people overlook that and it is one of its most important features.
Here's a fun idea. Or at least I think it is.
The first time I broke one down with my own hands... after a few moments... I said ... "it's a tank".
The entire platform is designed around feeding the round into a fixed barrel. As such.... it is a rifle that is a tank.
Appropriate, therefore, that a tank engineer developed it. Assuming this is true and not just Soviet propaganda.
Hell yeah. I like your take on that. Never thought of the tank element.
They were also experimenting with applying aircraft assembly techniques to that tank design because it is essentially a tank that doesn’t need armor. Genius converging IMO. And if an airframe can last as long as it does under those forces, you can def make a light immortal gun.
The original was a milled receiver which is indeed a tank. Then switched to stamped sheet metal which eventually was faster and is cheaper.
Yeah when you strip it down to just it’s frame, you really see the genius of the design. The heart of the gun is very few pieces and very few steps. And they are solid as fuck.
I totally agree.
When I had it in my hands, I knew immediately that all of the naysayers were fucking retards.
AMAZING design. Caveman meets Spaceman.
The exact same experience I had. The first session I had with mine I was like those people smoke crack.
“Caveman meets Spaceman”. Amazing quote. Culturally appropriating comrade.
That was what really surprised me (in a good way) the economy of how the cartridge was served to the action/barrel. That was what made me spout "It's a tank".
I am really impressed with this design. It is an excellent "balance" between Space Man and Cave man. Well executed.
