The competitive struggle of Kovrov machines with Izhevsk ended in loss

Against the background of news on the conclusion by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation of a contract with the Kalashnikov concern for the supply of one hundred and fifty thousand AK-12 and AK-15 assault rifles to the troops for almost three years; there is almost no news about the supply of 6P67 (AEK-971) and 6P68 (AEK) troops to the troops. 973), which were also adopted by the Russian army.

The competitive struggle of Kovrov machines with Izhevsk ended in loss




As previously reported, “Military Outlook”, the Ministry of Defense ordered 150 thousands of Kalashnikov AK-12 and AK-15 assault rifles, while almost nothing was reported about the supply of Kovrov automatons. But everything could have been completely different, and instead of AK machine guns, the Russian army could have armed with AEK machine guns.

Competition for the new machine for the Russian army as part of the development of new combat equipment "Warrior" the Russian Ministry of Defense announced in 2012 year. Kovrov gunsmiths put up models from the AEK-971 family, which were developed from the end of the 70s of the last century, and Izhevsk - a completely new AK-12 model of the 5,45 mm caliber, developed from scratch in the framework of the "Warrior" competition, and in the category 7,62 mm proposed for the contest AK-103-3.


AK-12 early version




According to the results of the first preliminary tests, the Kovrov automata won, and the Izhevsk ones dropped out of the competition altogether and in the future Kalashnikov could participate in the competition only in an initiative manner.

The A-545 and A-762 assault rifles, after completion, should be recommended for mass production and military testing. AK-12 and AK-103-3 machines did not meet the requirements of the TTZ and state tests failed. Further refinement recommended for developer tools


- stated in the final conclusion of the commission on the results of tests issued in 2015 year.

Among the reasons for the failure of the Izhevsk project were called not only the technical shortcomings of the machine, made from scratch, but also not adapted to the technical processes of the enterprise. Unification with previous Kalashnikov models was no more than 10%, and this increased the cost of an automatic machine in 5-6 compared to AK-74М.

After the departure from the competition, Sergey Urzhumtsev was invited to the position of Kalashnikov’s General Designer;Weapon". Under his leadership, it was decided to abandon the previous project and create a new machine based on the deep modernization of AK-74. As a result, another AK-12, unified with previous AK models by 54%, was obtained.


AK-12 final version


Having taken part in the further competition on an initiative basis, the new AK-12 and AK-15 submachine guns did not exceed the Kovrov 6P67 and 6P68 models, the differences in combat effectiveness were extremely insignificant. All decided the cost of further production. As it turned out, the production of new Izhevsk machines only slightly exceeded the cost of production of AK-74, while the production of Kovrov machines would cost 10 times more expensive.


AEK-971 final version


Thus, for mass procurement in the interests of the Russian army, the Russian Defense Ministry chose Izhevsk models AK-12 5,45 mm caliber and AK-15 mm 7,62 caliber. Kovrov’s AEK-971 caliber 5,45 mm and AEK-973 caliber 7,62 mm were also put into service, but because of their cost they went into service with special forces.

As previously reported in the Kalashnikov concern, currently, work is underway to improve the new Kalashnikov assault rifles, and work has begun on creating a promising new platform based on the ideas of Yevgeny Dragunovich.

Earlier it was reported that the Ministry of Defense of Russia allows a complete rejection of the caliber 5,45 mm and the transition to the caliber 7,62 mm. The reason for the possible rejection of the 5,45 cartridge, mm, in the Main Rocket and Artillery Directorate (GRAU) is the lack of penetration of bullets of this caliber at medium and long distances in the strength of the enemy in personal protective equipment. According to experts from the 3-th Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense, efforts should be focused on upgrading and improving the characteristics of cartridges and weapons caliber 7,62 millimeter.

The caliber cartridge 5,45X39 mm was adopted in the 1974 year, as the main cartridge for AK-74 created under it. He weighed 6 grams less than the 7,62 cartridge, which allowed the shooter to carry increased ammunition. Among the main advantages of the new cartridge was called lower recoil, greater accuracy of shooting, a more flat trajectory of the bullet, which increased the distance of the direct shot.

      Exactly.
      As it turned out, the production of new Izhevsk rifles was only slightly higher than the cost of producing AK-74, while the production of Kovrov rifles would cost 10 times more.

      Like this? 10 times more expensive? They lie. If only this machine is not made of gold.

                      AEK has amazing accuracy when firing bursts, the Kalashnikov concept also assumed this, but in the end those Kalashs that were ordered are very different from that concept and differ little from the AK-74.

                        It seems strange, but precisely because of its similarity with the Ak-74, the Ak-12 will generally appear in the army in significant quantities. Otherwise, the fate of AN-94 would have awaited him.

                        Perhaps, but unlikely.
                        Any machine gun, gun or rifle is an assembly in a certain way of various processed metal parts. Correctly?
                        They will differ in the grades of the used steels or alloys, as well as in the processing of some parts in view of the emerging technologies. But basically it is turning, milling, broaching, grinding, heat treatment, chemical. cover, well, maybe something else, I'm not a gunsmith.
                        Therefore, by and large, it is not important on what equipment to make weapons. If you do not take high-precision, to which neither AEK nor Kalashnikov applies.
                        By the way, Kalashnikov and PM (Makarov) were made in 1947 on the same machines as the PPSh.
                        Now it’s clear why both Browning High Power (1926 onwards) and the Yarygin Pistol can be made on equipment (machines) from the Second World War and on modern machining centers?
                        The main difference will be in the time of production of pistols and not much in manufacturing accuracy. But all these pistols will shoot and provide the accuracy and firing range incorporated in them by the designers, as well as provide the given penetrative ability of the bullet, its lethal force, as well as the stopping effect.

                        It is evident that you are not a gunsmith. The production of small arms is, above all, stamping technology! Even with the establishment of production of AK-47 there were problems:
                        The main emphasis at that time was on improving the organization of production of weapons, since already at the very beginning of the manufacture of Kalashnikov assault rifles, plant No. 74 was faced with many previously unforeseen difficulties. So, despite its rather large capacities, the plant was unable to set up the production of the required number of machines in a timely manner. Obsolete equipment and imperfect production lines interfered with this. As A.A. subsequently recalled Malimon, - the AK-47 assault rifle could not be introduced into production on the old technological base. He demanded the development of new technologies. wider use of automated equipment, as well as the accumulation of new experience in the production of automatic weapons. And only thanks to the joint efforts and perseverance of the chief engineer of the plant A.Ya. Fisher, chief technologist K.N. Mamontov, production manager A.G. Kozlova in the late 1950s and early 1951s managed to solve this problem by improving fixtures and accessories, improving and automating parts of the machine park, and creating new automatic conveyor lines. Advanced technological processes were introduced - along with stamping, Izhevsk citizens switched to the on-line method of machining parts of weapons with sufficiently large tolerances and gaps, which ensured) reliable operation of the weapon in any operating conditions.

        most likely true, but truth taken out of context
        Kalash - has a streamlined assembly line for decades
        there are dozens, if not hundreds, of patents that make manufacturing cheaper
        Plus, the starting costs for the first batch of AEK are high

        but in fact the same AEK at the Kalashnikov plant would cost a maximum of one and a half times more expensive.

                  everything new is paid in advance
                  A moment in such conditions could also do something.
                  Sukhoi differs only in that it was not taken aback in the 90s and was able to maintain a live production line and partially related products through export.
                  But the fact that Sukhoi crushed almost all of the supplies to the army for himself is not right.
                  It was worthwhile for a moment to make a single-engine light fighter, such as the Russian version of the F-16 or the new Mig-23 (as did China and India). And so the Mig-ovskoe leadership behaved passively, without the proper initiative, resting on the laurels of what was "heard" along the way, there was a lot of slipshod work (after the tender in India they just started to stir).
                  And here is the result - some work, the second are taken.

                  I agree that Sukhoi is abusing his influence, but in the situation with the MIG, there is much more guilt on the government and the OKB leadership than anyone else, and 70 percent of his guilt.

                E ... you are a troll. I thought you were serious laughing When firing, the barrel of an assault rifle bends and lengthens regardless of the shooter's biology - this is not compensated by any biology and breathing techniques. We need to design a weapon in which when shooting the barrel less sausages in all directions, and that when the barrel is heated, the aiming point does not change. As a fighter at the time of the shot will be able to afford to breathe we do not know. This is a dash that teaches us to breathe low - the lower abdomen, so that the body remains stable and has a low center of gravity. But in battle, the shooting range and weapons do not always need to be improved to provide the necessary accuracy and accuracy.

                    High breathing is a greater fluctuation of the chest and upper body, respectively, the oscillation of the weapon when aiming. There is also an emotional moment: when a fighter switches to low breath, he calms down and stress disappears, it is easier to concentrate on shooting. But the low center of gravity is also important when shooting, so that the position is as stable as possible for shooting, because when shooting everything is based on physical leverage: the less leverage, the less they are, and the weaker they are pressed, the more stable the position. Everything is like in martial arts, only for shooting. Low breath is not only in karate, it is in all oriental styles of martial arts, including Chinese, from which karate and other Japanese styles came. But we are about shooting now.

                    More precisely, weapons that talk less when fired. This is a no brainer. Less recoil, a more advanced automation scheme, and weapon design, less barrel oscillation — a shot more accurately. A sleeve with a protruding edge has more oscillation of a weapon than a flangeless one, and a sleeve with a reduced flange has even less ... - this series can be continued indefinitely wink

                        Now Sanda is already a pure sport, as well as Muay Thai.
                        Previously, Sanda (Sanda, Xanda - where else) was a "free fight" - a fight without restrictions, now - a bunch of regulations - in order to organize competitions.
                        The same thing happened with Muay Thai, for example: before it was a martial art - Muay Boran, then everything went into sports, they removed the 12/6 elbow strikes (12 o'clock, the arrow on the clock is at the top, 6 o'clock is the arrow at the bottom - an elbow blow from top to bottom on the back, neck, in the crown), they banned crippling techniques ... imposed restrictions, leaving what looks (for sports, entertainment is still important) is beautiful and voila - Muay Thai is a purely sporting combat
                        Sanda followed the same path, Kyokushinkai karate (especially his "ring" version, not on the tatami, but in the ring, the fighters fight - "Seido kai-kan karate")
                        now there are few real martial arts, most of the real ones are in the army, the rest - or "cut off" - for civilian use and "sports" - for competitions, but there half of the style is "lost"

                        There is a DIM-MAK ability to kill with one blow, even delayed but this is from fairy tales.

                        I saw it live. Not a fairy tale, a terrible thing. But you have to train cruelly ... and all your life.

                        listen, once in my childhood my father gave me karate kyokushinkai, after a little over two years I had the 5th kyu (yellow belt with green stripe - half way to the black belt), I learned how to fight: at school I played the watchmen in the corridor , I realized that I could knock most of my classmates in two seconds: after two years of training, you understand how clumsy non-training people are ... then my father gave me to Shotokan - the style of accented punches and hard low stances, few series, a lot of strength and energy in shock, fighters they try to bring the whole fight under some kind of "kensei" - a super blow, in three years I reached the 4th kyu (in shotokan it is a blue belt). And then I left, on my own, consciously, into kickboxing, I was 15 years old, now I am 35, with a break of 7 years for the army, I spent my entire adult life in martial arts, cooked in this mess, for several years I have been training people in kickboxing, despite the fact that he became an insulin diabetic, was interested, read and met with different masters: boxers, hand-to-hand fighters, karate fighters and various others. Everyone, EVERYONE who has heard of dim-mak (as a blow with a "delay") unanimously says that this is nothing more than a legend. Moreover, there is not even a definition of dim-maku: whether it is such a blow, or a martial art.
                        Real martial arts (just like a fight without weapons, systematized, simply because the army began to steer firearms, before that they trained with weapons - cold) began to develop only in the 20th century: when the masters realized that one technique was not enough, you still need to connect strength. And the first were European boxers (then boxing was different: you could kick with your feet, for example, it has not yet become a sport), they were the first to combine boxing training with strength exercises, and the main popularizer of this was ... Bruce Lee, and this is already second half of the 20th century. All these point strikes are complete nonsense, they will work if I'm drunk in a mess and someone pokes a thread behind my ear - then yes - I can fall off my feet - "unexpected", but I won't die, it will just hurt behind my ear ...
                        when I was doing karate I thought "THERE !! here they are, strikes (especially in shotokan, where the emphasis is on putting all the energy into the strike, with twisting the hips)! I can beat everyone!" but it is almost impossible to carry out a good accented blow from a rigid correct stand - this was shown by sparring and competitions, when I came to kickboxing, I thought, "Well, right now I will chop everyone, the technique is honed, right now, just a moment, take the stand, zenkutsu and screw May-kettlebell into him belly ... "no one will give this moment - take the right stance - throw your legs and arms - you will fly into the corner. All these oriental "martial arts" in their purest form (except for Goju-ryu, Shirai-ryu and Shorin-ryu / Shito-ryu, which is surprising - all from Okinawa, that is, not entirely Japanese types, there are many from China in general, but this not just styles, but rather hand-to-hand combat systems, there are point effects, but they pursue a different goal - to poke fingers in the eye, for example, to squeeze out an eye, to poke a finger between the legs of a girl - yes, there is such a thing, and a guy - to twist eggs - and there is such a thing too ) do not work, they are good only as a base, a basis for further development
                        There is not a single example of the use of dim-mak, there is not a single proof, there are only guesses based on local legends. If this dim-mak existed, then in the information age it would "surface" unambiguously. I believe that there were and perhaps there are masters who can poke into the "sun" with their fingers so that the heart "slows down", in the left side - the spleen of the khan, in the right under the ribs - the liver will go nuts, and in the throat - the Adam's apple will sink, but this is not dim-mak ... or this is dim-mak, they just put fluff on these techniques. All this works only if you hit it unexpectedly, this time, it is practically inapplicable: if a person bursts his spleen, you will go through the article right away, and most likely, when you try to poke this master with your finger, they will immediately unscrew the finger (if he devoted his whole life to studying one technique, it means nothing he can't or can, but very badly) and shove him right into a dim-mac ...
                        And yes, I don’t believe that you saw the impact of this blow, even if I believed in a dim-pop, because it turns out you saw the blow, then you followed the victim ... for a week, a month, a year (he definitely didn’t drink anymore: after all if the blow was in the liver, it is important to understand that he died from the blow and not from vodka, did not fall from a height: if in the spleen, then you need to understand that when they fall they can burst ... and so on), that is, you followed the victim , they didn’t say anything to him, they understood that he must die from a top-secret blow ... and they did not inform the authorities ...

The one who was abandoned in the evening became ill, at night - the temperature, the next evening he died, something like a rupture of the heart muscle.

The fact is that I have a high threshold for alkaloids: morphine takes me very badly, it is difficult to put them to sleep for an operation, but I have undergone enough operations, and when I had a fractured hand and a part of the radius on my right hand, I was given a "blockade" - under the armpit with a special knitting needle to the lymph node - I did not feel my hand until the knitting needle was pulled out, the Elizarov apparatus was already installed (the bones were drilled - did not care), but I did not feel anything and could not move my hand all this time, then of course it hurt a lot ... Well, it looks like this, if you press there, it will hurt - after all, there is a lymph node, the place where the nerve and the blood vessel are, both are pinched, this is not a secret and has long been used in official medicine, yes, you can beat it there - effectively, for example, on the neck there are also such places, but paralysis is unlikely to happen. You see, in order to hit like that, you have to train, and train not to dim-mak any, but at least correctly, accurately and strongly to learn how to hit with the edge of the palm, but this is not dim-mak, by the way, the effect is achieved with a stick.

        Nobody disputes the reliability of the AK mechanism. But the Bull-Pup layout allows you to reduce the size of the machine gun, improve the balance and accuracy of automatic fire. This scheme is used in a number of rifles of many armies: in the British Armed Forces it is L85, French - FAMAS, Israeli - Tavor, Austrian - Steyr AUG. By the way, the Banderlog designers, when creating the Malyuk assault rifle, initially wanted to simply modify the Kalashnikov assault rifle, but the work resulted in a new type of small arms, in which only the barrel and receiver were used from the AK.

          How can a bullpup scheme improve weapon balancing? The optimal balance of the weapon is when the center of inertia of the machine is approximately between the arms holding the machine, so that the machine behaves more steadily when shooting. When the barrel channel is coaxial to the butt, and the centers of mass of the moving parts of the automation are on the same axis as the barrel channel and as close to the barrel as possible in the lateral projection, in order to avoid the occurrence of unnecessary forces when firing, which interfere with precise aiming fire, and it is advisable to hold the arms closer in height machine to increase the stability of the machine when shooting with hands.
          In bulppapps, the mass of the machine is concentrated in the rear of the machine. Already have a bias back. In addition, the trigger is located far from the trigger, and it is more difficult to achieve high-quality descent. Bullpup is good for its compactness, but it is far from without problems. A short weapon is very good. But the ideal bullpup has not yet been created.

              There is a problem, the so-called. "back balance". It can be partially compensated by the use of a muzzle brake (+70 gr.) To reduce the force of recoil and toss of the barrel when firing a shot from an automatic weapon.

              To build up a mass of weapons is not a problem. The problem is to reduce it, but so that the weapon continues to shoot and hit.
              Deterioration of the balance of weapons - this will be more muscle involved in the shooting, it is more difficult to hold the weapon and send an accurate shot, slower reaction and control of the weapon by the shooter, fatigue from shooting will increase, and accuracy and efficiency will drop. I am for the maximum-licked physical model of weapons in the database. And on it already to create iron. And to improve the cartridge, and not sit on the cartridge from the 19th century, when it is already the 21st century in the yard.
              Ammunition and weapons for them are infinitely improved. Modern wars are fought with modern weapons and ammunition. You should not be losers. General's dachas also can not accelerate the victory. We need to improve ammunition and weapons for them.

              just take and shoot first with AK - 74 and then immediately with AKS74U: the difference is heaven and earth, if you shoot in bursts ...
              the best balance is when the center of gravity is between two hands but is slightly shifted forward, then when shooting there will be a better result, given that there is a "native and proven" DTK.

    Among the reasons for the failure of the Izhevsk project were called not only the technical flaws of the machine, made from scratch, but also the lack of adaptability to the technical processes of the enterprise

    It is more likely that the plant is not adapted to the production of weapons made from scratch, and not vice versa. For this is a long-standing problem of our producers - hellish flour when put into mass production with eternal whining about "This is very, very, very, very ... very difficult and expensive to launch into a series !!! 11"

      the new AK-12 and AK-15 assault rifles were no better than the Kovrov models 6P67 and 6P68, differences in combat effectiveness were extremely small.

      AEK in the final competition, as we see, is not so impressive superior
      In these conditions, the decision to massively purchase cheaper, but slightly inferior to competitor an automaton is rational.

    Anecdote in the topic:
    - Have you seen the new film Kusturica?
    - Saw, they say good.

    Citizens - you argue about nothing. None of us, including myself, know neither the cost of production nor the manufacturing process for both trunks. If I were provided with this data, I would absolutely definitely say which automatic machine is more technologically advanced and cheaper in production - this is my profession in the end. But since this is not, it is called fortune-telling on coffee grounds.
    I can only say one thing - from the point of view of the technologist, that is, me, AK has a huge advantage. This is an absolutely proven design and manufacturing technology, brought almost to the ideal.
    That is why AK is cheaper. It should be so.

    Don't skimp on weapons. Even at the shooter. There were incidents. Mosinka was taken because it is "cheaper", Lee Enfield and Mauser cover it as a tortoise god in ALL parameters. I have all three: Czech VZ-24, Enfield 4MK2, Enfield 2A1, and FINNISH M39 mosinka. So of these three, the mosinka is the worst. And accuracy, and rate of fire, and convenience. What is one fuse worth? One bolt position is worth it ... We have adopted the Zis-3 and other guns for PMV shells "because there are a lot of shells, it will be cheaper" ... Well, how long can you step on the same rake? You will pay with the blood of your soldiers.

      The correct comment. But here for such a minus. Because it’s easier for the idiots to wiggle than to start thinking with their head. I am also to a certain extent a cheer patriot, but still not up to the pen, like some local idiots.
      Already now it is possible to create a much more advanced small-arms automatic weapon than similar weapons of the previous generations, when the basic schemes and components of automatic and self-loading weapons were only invented and tested, and the technological base often did not allow us to do what the weapons designers wanted to do.

      But in Russia in peacetime, many people prefer to steal, and before the leadership to shrug in order to "be on the board." And when trouble (war) comes, they begin to count the corpses and think with their heads, and the thieves-uryakalka are the first to receive firing articles.

      In the USSR, the weapon culture of the population was killed for 70 years. The quality of small arms fell every year. A person who shoots 3 rounds every six months will never choose a high-quality weapon for the army, but will choose a cheap one in order to report on success in "saving" funds. The population is deprived of the right to buy weapons and cannot vote with their wallet for good weapons. The state defending itself from its own population turns out to be defenseless in the face of real threats, and unviable.

      ... Meanwhile, arms progress is underway, the knowledge base is accumulating, and engineering technologies are developing. But in the post-USSR they live back in the 50s of the 20th century, when AK was an advanced and ingenious design invention.

        The problem, by the way, is not in the AK. And how it is done. The long-stroke gas piston system itself is more than viable (FN FNC). They just saved on AKs wherever possible. But Galil with his milled receiver (the same AK, by the way, technically), it is not only just as reliable, it is more accurate and, by the way, more convenient. Thumb fuse translator on the left side of the pistol grip, like in Polish Beryl. There would be a desire. And he simply does not have Rossiyansky guns. It can be more in the forehead - we strengthen the receiver and shove a thicker barrel. Accuracy, predictably increases. Meet this Boar (I have 15 of these at home in different calibers). And Saiga M. But miracles do not happen. Cheapness, reliability, weight, price, accuracy. Well, you can't win everywhere. By the way, the sofa experts can minus me right before St. Kondraty comes to them. You guys, even Hitler couldn't teach you anything. As we say "consider the source of disapproval".

          Kalash is better than FN and Kovrovtsa. But when they say that Kalashnikov is everything and it is better to do nothing better, then this is a lie. Today in the world there are two clear leaders among automatic rifles or assault rifles: the AK family and the AR-15 family - already on the basis of these two rifles (assault rifles) you can create a more advanced model. And if you connect all the power of modern engineering, you can do even better.

          If the case rested on a cartridge, then make a cartridge with a reduced flange, not 7,62 mm, but 7 mm caliber, disperse the bullet even more, make a hardened bullet core, as it should be for fighting bulletproof vests - get already more advanced and modern ammunition. Design the sleeve so that it works well in a wide range of temperatures, does not wedge in the chamber of an automatic weapon and does not have excess mass - so that the cartridge conquers the market for a long time, it was successful. Caliber 7 mm - successful.
          Under the new ammunition, begin designing a new generation of machine guns. Huge prospects open up if you use science and the entire accumulated arms of the world of arms weapons of knowledge and patents. Something new will be invented along the way - this is a natural creative process. A Kalash leave for the militia for now. Yes, and it is necessary to rearm the army gradually, in stages, because industry does not make sense in a short time to produce a huge number of machine guns, and then fire the workers.
          A more adequate arms legislation would solve a lot of problems with the employment of gunsmiths and the running of new calibers and schemes by the weapons community - here it is also time for lawmakers to stop being afraid of their people as paranoid as the old p.u.d.s. of the Politburo were afraid of it progressively clamping gun laws in the USSR.

              So are you like the local "Horse in the Coat" who offers to buy all the Glocks and "close the question"? laughing This is not an option for real men. Glock is now losing ground to sigzauer. You need to make your own weapon, which will be the best. But do not chase after other people's products and pray to them to God.
              The communists were afraid to make precise weapons, because they planned to arm "stupid peasants". The paradox is that in the USSR the literacy of the population was constantly growing, but the weapons were designed in oak and for oaks. For SVD they took a cartridge from the 19th century, because it was too lazy to raise the fifth point and make a more modern cartridge.

              You need to start a new weapon with a new cartridge. 7 mm is the optimal caliber. The case is bottle-shaped, but with a reduced flange - this will be a new generation of ammunition. I wrote the rest above. Grendels and American Rashn are 7,62X39 mm ammunition. Now you can make better cartridges and weapons for them. A competently shaped bottle sleeve for automatic weapons to work reliably, and of sufficient volume to be in demand conditionally both in the north and in the Sahara. 5,45x39 mm, you can also reduce the caliber in order to get a more accurate and light weapon, make a case with a reduced flange and for a small-caliber cartridge. But you need to start with the transition from 7,62 mm to 7 mm for the machine.

                  I’d at least ask what my favorite pistol is before I start talking.

                  I’m not talking. I just don't care. The US Army has tested the new sigzauer "p320" and the Glock. The 320 outperforms the Glock for most requirements. About shoals of some, including expensive whitefish, I know. But I don't care, because I will never support another Korobochkin, who, instead of developing the Russian arms industry, buys foreign weapons, and quietly puts the otkatik offshore. In the United States, the 320th Army preferred the Glock - the Glokoman have permanent mourning and an attempt to get rid of the Glock, and the search for the 320th at a tasty price. The best weapons are produced for the army, and all those who are trained are chasing the "army".

                  If you didn’t have a gun, but a machine gun, then you would argue that your machine gun is the best. But the army needs an even better machine gun. So that you wait for the moment when it will be released to the civilian market, sell yours and run for a new one. It will be better for Russia, right ?: laughing

                  As for the machine gun cartridge. Why exactly 7? Why not 6.5, why not 6.8 or even 6.66mm? Imagine? Cartridge of caliber 6.66 SLAYER.

                  7 mm I chose a successful time-tested caliber. He compared different calibers and types of bullets for different types of game, ballistics, cartridge accuracy, cartridge efficiency. 7 mm is better than 7,62 mm in all respects, second only in slaughter against the largest game, over 150 kg (a person is conventionally up to 120-140 kg maximum). Against a moose and a bear, the machine gun will come out too heavy and the army will reject such immediately. In terms of accuracy, range of aimed, effective fire and direct fire, 7 mm exceeds 7,62 mm, and has a comfortable recoil. Smaller calibers can also fly far, but they lose their effectiveness against game earlier - approximately 200 m, against a game comparable to humans in weight and dimensions. A man for a machine gun is also "game".
                  The American has a 6,8 mm bullet diameter of just 7 mm. In the United States, conditionally 270th, 280th and 7 mm calibres are all plus or minus 7 mm. Less is already 6,5 mm, 6,35 mm, 6 mm, 5,6 mm ... 4,5 mm. And 300 gauges and higher are located above, and this is our 7,62 mm and higher. 7 mm is considered the best if you do not need to bring down a large moose and a bear. But there are also 7 mm calibers on a moose with a bear, like the 7 mm Remington Magnum - but this is a very large sleeve. The best against moose and bear are the overclocked 300s, that is, magnums in caliber 7,62 mm, but they already have very strong and unpleasant returns. And even larger calibers for the largest bears. An assault rifle needs a cartridge with an acceptable return against a person, and this is from 75 kg, up to a maximum of 140 kg. But long-range and accurate.

      It's hard to disagree about Mosinka. Enfield did not have a chance to try, but there was an opportunity to compare with Mauser. And it makes no sense to compare them, as, for example, Japanese tanks of the Second World War with the same T-34, or "Panther". Yes, Mauser was not copied anywhere, riveted all over the world. Yes, and the production of TT is the same story, there was a ready-made cartridge of the same Mauser, suitable for caliber 7,62, so they launched the pistol into production, because, on the contrary, it was cheaper - defective barrels from rifles and machine guns went to TT. And before the war, a competition was announced to replace the pistol, but they did not have time.
