There was a video with a hard test Kalashnikov assault rifle

The next video was published on the network with frantic attempts to invalidate the Kalashnikov assault rifle or, more simply, “kill” this rifle weapon.

The shots show how a young man literally emerges with AKM in his hands and starts firing, having previously completed the process of loading a weapon (under water or before immersion). The machine in this case allows you to fire without any noticeable glitches.
Then the same "experimenter" opens fire from a Kalashnikov assault rifle after removing the barrel from the water. The machine was almost completely submerged by the muddy shore of the reservoir.

The next stage of the hard test of the Soviet-made machine is falling asleep with sand with the receiver cover removed. The young man, after the sand has been filled in, returns the lid to its place, the machine shakes, so that the sand is evenly distributed, and begins firing. In this case, a single shot was fired from the machine gun.

Tests for the resistance of the Kalashnikov assault rifle to pollution sometimes take the most unthinkable forms. Especially often “experimenters” in the USA like to do this. So, in 2015 in the USA, they showed shooting from an AK assembled in Romania after the weapon was immersed in dirt. The machine gun allowed a single shot, after which it took to clean the weapon. After a short cleaning, the machine gun continued to shoot, however, the automation malfunctioned.

In fact, all these executions of the Soviet-made machine gun, even with problems identified, speak only about one thing: in order to put Kalash out of action, one must try very hard.

They would try to "work" like this with their M-16! And they looked, then it shoots after such tests or not!
And with dope, you can break the rubber hose. Unless of course you freeze it before breaking!

[Shurik70]

Dibilny tests.
And if it doesn’t jam, it will tear it apart? Here in the same water, not just dirty water, but a wooden stick the size of a match will fall into the trunk. Such a barrel, even in Kalash’s, will break.
So such tests should be done by a fighter in a helmet, goggles, body armor. Not a kid in a T-shirt.

[ssergey1978]

AK shutter design is such that the barrel is problematic to break.

[Shurik70]

And the shutter can break, and the box, and the barrel, and gas pipe. A case was recently in the Khabarovsk Territory - a store exploded (a shell from an infantry fighting vehicle rebounded there), and the officer's hand was torn off.
Kalash - a reliable machine, but even his strength is not infinite.

[ssergey1978]

A 30 mm shell hit the AK, did I understand correctly? And then the rupture of the trunk? The design of the shutter is such that when the pressure jumps, the sleeve breaks in the place where it is not covered by the shutter and the gases are vented into the ejection window

[Slon379]

The gas outlet is not sitting tight on the piston, the piston runs along the ribs, all excess pressure pushes into the bolt box in the extreme case.

[Glory1974]

Here in the same water, not just dirty water, but a wooden stick the size of a match will fall into the trunk. Such a barrel, even in Kalash’s, will break.

At the shooting range, such a wand somehow got into the barrel of a soldier. He lies and shoots with a single fire, the commander mumbled, sent a platoon to him to put the fire on automatic. But, it turned out to be a branch in the trunk, the bullet gets stuck, the next one knocks it out and gets stuck itself, the automation does not work. The trunk did not tear, there was a slight thickening on the trunk. When they figured it out, they sent the machine in for repair, they did not shoot. But it seems to me that it was possible to continue to shoot without consequences.
By the way, Kalashnikov himself said that the AK-74 initially burst the barrel when it was taken out of the water and started shooting. this defect was subsequently eliminated. So this experiment could not be carried out, it was carried out at the State Tests.

They also check all the rifles falling into their hands, including the M16. Which passed this test, but the HK416 did not.

[ssergey1978]

m 16 is also a reliable weapon.

[Akuzenka]

For a shooting gallery, yes.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

m 16 is also a reliable weapon .... then why do we need a rammer? this is the one on the right on the slide box

[ssergey1978]

What is wrong with this rammer? It will help if you do not close the shutter. In ak and saiga, too, sometimes you hit the frame.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

What is wrong with this rammer? ... and the fact that this is a deliberate design flaw, when firing a fairly powerful cartridge 5.56-45, the gunpowder was completely delivered to the receiver. which in turn leads to the accumulation of energy and smok on combat stops. and they are 8 pieces and small compared to the massive two stops in AK
in Saig I don’t know how, there was no practice. but it happens with AK. but correctable than with the M-16, in the case of the M-16 lock with a siege bar, a nail-splint may occur, it is easier to hammer the bolt of the bolt frame with at least a foot. and in m-16 not, only with a finger. and it might not be in battle

[ssergey1978]

Thy mother, this is a syllable. You yourself read what you wrote.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

Thy mother .... from otpyatyak no one is guaranteed

[ssergey1978]

At m 16 there is no stock because the gases go into the box, by the way after that there is a lot of dirt in the box from the gases. As a rule, high-quality cartridges are used in emka, therefore the need for this rammer does not occur often. As for the stops, I do not remember how many of them are in the emka, but if there are 8 of them, then the contact area will be more than that of ac. In general, I own 20 smooth and rifled saiga, there are no claims to reliability, but I know that the M16 is not much inferior in terms of reliability of the AK.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

.8 then the contact area will be larger than that of ak ..... no matter how much, this is a disastrous thing, along with the position pipe of the gas outlet. I don’t understand how they manage to clean it? AK is simple. but with the m-16 .... !!!!!!! Yes, and even a fucking damper in the butt, the same is that crap
I don’t know about Saig. but I can tell a lot about MTs-21

[Slaven]

No way. The first pipes had to be cleaned. But it was problematic to do this, not a convenient design. And then the pipes began to be made with turns, and it was not provided for cleaning them. They just change. Now I don't even know how they are there. But to be honest, as for me, it is a very dependent construction. Logistics must be within reach.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

Logistics must be within reach.

..... M 4 changed the gas waste along the way, it became roughly like that of the SVD. nevertheless, 8 small combat stops on the frame remained, that is, they did not abandon the detective, ... but in vain

[Slaven]

I think I deceived you. I read an article about American arches that in Afghanistan it turned out again that their arches could not withstand high temperatures. Spontaneous combustion of gunpowder occurs in the chamber. Therefore, a new, heavier spiral barrel was made on the M4. It was also written there that the gas pipes were not straight, but curved, therefore, often, in especially advanced cases, they simply changed, because it was not possible to clean them. I didn't lie much, but I lied anyway. And yes, the rammer hasn't gone anywhere. It is on all arches. Even in German Heckler und Koch. By the way, in German there is a different, more reliable gas outlet.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

heavier coiled barrel.

not spiral, but with a smaller step of the rifling of the barrel, I will not say for sure, but in some of the articles I read it is about 230 mm, almost like the SKS carbine,

Spontaneous combustion of gunpowder occurs in the chamber.

not spontaneous combustion, but "undersupply" in a hot breech

the gas pipes were not straight, but curved,

..the M4 has a piston system of the SVD type, and the lugs are small, so cleaning them is of paramount importance
and even the joke was told by my Kent, a fanatic of weapons, the M-16 has a drone drowned in the pot, and the M-4 has a drive from the outside ... do you know why? when Stoner's invention began to appear in the troops, then recruits served there, and what would prevent the ridiculous dispatching the polisher had a sweat, .. and since in the sun striped gender, it is not necessary to cut the nails, therefore the M4 has the detector's lever outside

[Slaven]

Not no, it is spiral. And spontaneous combustion of the cartridge occurs precisely in the chamber, which is very hot. Spontaneous shots occur.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

Not no, it is spiral.

... come on ... the outer spiral is for all sorts of app (body kit), .. and spontaneous combustion occurs from excessive weight distribution of the cartridge and actually, as a rule, the flow of hot gas into the box along with smog ... ..for example, the SVD is also capricious when it fires 2 times per second ..... so on my own ... in the 90s, cartridges for smooth bore were expensive, so they rolled the shot themselves and pressed the gunpowder into brass themselves ... but the hunters these are hunters, someone did a standard weight distribution and at the same time screwed in a choke or half, and someone increased weight distribution ... and one and the second led to sad consequences, .... and here, 45-5y56 NATO is a rather powerful cartridge, and designers should have dealt with thermal physics rather than appa

[Slaven]

Damn, but no) It is a spiral barrel for better cooling, like on machine guns. They did it for m4a1. Whether it went into production or not, I don’t know. But they did. I won't argue with the rest.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

It is the spiral barrel

..... well, maybe Pecheneg also has a ribbed barrel, but users are quite negative about this, because you have to frequently clean the cooling fins ... in a PC it's easier to just change the barrel

[Slaven]

Well, as I understand it, this has not gone beyond the project.

[Slaven]

The fact that it was not provided for in the original design and this is initially a flaw.

[Civil]

in order to incapacitate Kalash, one must try very hard.

However, "crooked" fighters can do everything ...

You didn’t shoot from it and you don’t have to draw such conclusions, only one video only. And those people who actually performed this run-in say differently. They will not remove and show you on the video either. And that you will believe this, your comments, most likely it will be so.

Do you suggest believing your comments? The video on this channel is an unbiased test. You can see for yourself.

[SERGEY SERGEEVICS]

And what do you propose to believe in the striped excitement, they will not remove it from you. And especially on the video, civilians, not the military, so this is nothing at all.

[Sheff333]

I believe what I see if it does not contradict common sense. The fact that these tests are conducted by civilians is the norm in the USA. If you had such an opportunity, would you not have been? The fact that civilians conduct such tests, and not military ones, speaks of impartiality.

[KrokodilGena]

Purely an example, I, personally, know that a pen pal from Florida has a domestic Saiga under 7,62x39 in the early 2000s. Half a year ago, a guy from the shooting range offered her 4,500 per saiga in such good condition ...

You are writing some nonsense. These are the problems of the channel's authors, we are not interested in them because of the word "absolutely". The video shows a test of non-original products, low-quality copies. These videos have nothing to do with the test of the domestic Kalashnikov. Alas.

[Sheff333]

This myth has long been debunked. They went and now go with trophy weapons of the DRG in the rear. Because, for small groups divorced from supplies, behind enemy lines, you can only replenish ammunition of the enemy model.

[KrokodilGena]

In Iraq, in urban warfare, the Americans used AK because of its specific sound to disorient the enemy. In general, the one who has more accurate and balanced weapons, more advanced sights, will kill faster and it is therefore doubtful that among the Amer soldiers during the database there was an unreasonable person who found AK and threw out his shot rifle.

[Ingenegr]

Believe it or not, they will. In general, in the US shooting community there are groups that regularly conduct similar "executions" of various types of weapons. Probably, there are practically no such submachine guns and launchers that were not subjected to them. If you wish, you can find a lot of videos on YouTube, in which various "shots", including M4 / M16, are killed colorfully and with comments.
Here is one of the links: https://youtu.be/9APzYqwXckw
Then look for yourself if there is interest.

Yes, there were sketches on this subject. Well, after all, a glass product to a not entirely clever ukronatsik, for how long?

[Catfish]

Kalashnikov can be disabled only with a sledgehammer. And then, you need to know exactly where you need to hit.

[jojick]

Well this is forgetting a thousand and one other way of abusing a weapon. For example, overheat.

[Catfish]

AKM is not KPVT - it is problematic to overheat it, although there are enough "craftsmen" to disfigure anything everywhere.

[jojick]

And what immediately KPVT? PC does not exist? A quick-change barrel on it is probably not needed, because ... as the rationalists wrote there?

"we are not Chinese, our trunks serve for a long time"

[Catfish]

And what is the meaning of what you wrote?
And our trunks really serve for a long time, and the Chinese have long been not the same.

[jojick]

The point is that on the PC and the heirs, the replaceable barrel is not from "wear and tear", as the minds wrote to me, but from the banal problem of "heating". Actually, the presence of interchangeable barrels, allowing continuous fire of normal intensity and makes it a single machine gun.

[Catfish]

So what? Several machine gun models had interchangeable barrels long before the advent of the PC, the MG-34 for example. What's the catch? And it is not a replaceable barrel that makes it a single machine gun, but the versatility of the system: Manual; Easel; Anti-aircraft; Tank - hence the definition - United. One in four "persons".
And, by the way, his "heir" named "Pecheneg" does not need to change the barrel due to the absence of the indicated overheating.
Personal question: where did the service take place?

[jojick]

where they order up to 27. Like this.
But Pecheneg uses active cooling, as in the good old Lewis of the bearded and, literally, the hardest times.

[SERGEY SERGEEVICS]

Here it is the strength and quality of Russian weapons.

Bulgarian Kalashi Arsenal SAM7SF are the best in the world. In the American market, it’s Ferrari Kalash. We have built ourselves a plant in Shchaty and sell it expensively. The most expensive Kalash on the market.

[Slaven]

The best Kalashnikovs did advice and ddr. Do not be offended, but even in comparison with the modern products of the concern, your ak is shit. The Serbs will do better. But yes, perhaps they are better than the Romanian and American ones.

about the rubber hose in the subject

[bunta]

Even Romanian could not wedge AK from this liquid mud. These figures simply never cleaned him, he is black inside from soot. And, by the way, not a bit of dirt.

[tranquil]

Romanian and Chinese copies are inferior to the original whether you like it or not.

[jojick]

in long-term operational qualities - yes. And so their difference in such a test is like a test of Russian and foreign OSB for strength: moisture resistance - yes, cool, Canadian is definitely better, but if you are testing strength properties, then the lack of moisture resistance in the Russian OSB here for some reason not gives nothing.

Yes, the Kektai Kalashman is unlikely to survive 50.000 shots, the brands have become local, not calculated and special, the geometry is coarser, other drawbacks, but in the "chew the dirt" test this is 1% of the result, whether you like it or not.

[tranquil]

The video tests for inferior copies. This is a fact, no matter how much you want (and you, as an independent, really want it) to do otherwise.

Another video that does not say anything about "resistance to the mess on the battlefield" because the infantryman is not so stupid as to dirty his weapon like that and it is better to drown himself in the shit, but the machine gun / ShV will keep in relative cleanliness (this is like the main principle hammered into the tutorial).

[Mixanchik]

This video surprised any of the Russians ..? I am not ..
Our weapons have always been different from other analogues: Simplicity-Reliability-Efficiency.!
And in our hearts we are creating such weapons and fighting them until the flag is hoisted in the capital of enemies! For this they fear and respect us! But here our gullibility and faith in justice most often destroys (or rather, large losses in everything and still survive and become stronger)
For the creator of the legendary Kalashnikov assault rifle, an unselfish and devoted man of legend, the land rest in peace to him ..

[cosmonaut]

the first video is about a hundred years old.

[Dimon71]

As I served in the military service, I had an outfit on the edge
of the sea. so I dipped my AKC in the salty water of the Black Sea and gave the queue. There was no single shot, but the shutter itself shifted. and in fact I shot 7 rounds under water single
although the machine was in the queue position.

[APASUS]

Kalash is a very reliable device, but I wouldn’t check it myself. There were two non-standard operations in the service, let's say the military were very lucky

[Earnest]

The Kalash wedges from the sand, even as it wedges ... a few grains of sand along with the cartridge into the chamber are enough - and hello, non-delivery of the cartridge. More than once, not two, he caught and observed with his subordinates. Therefore, a brush in an area with sandy soil is a vital necessity. I had it this way: one in a pencil case, one in the left sleeve pocket, well, where is the chevron. And a well-developed bunch of movements: a wedge with underexposure - disconnect the magazine, throw away the cartridge, throw off the receiver lid, brush in your hand, take the bolt to the back one, clean the chamber, receiver in the window area and the trigger, wipe it inside and attach the lid, attach OTHER equipped with cartridges store, and then it’s clear. Removed store as a possible source of problems to discharge and clean as soon as possible. Something like that

[Slaven]

Who's arguing? If dirt gets into the slide, no machine gun will fire. But there is always a nuance. It is easier to bring an AK into combat condition than the same arch under the same conditions. Yet again. Why does the arch have a curtain? Because even the smallest grains of sand can make the machine inoperative, the tolerances are small.

[Andryukha G]

Even if Kalashnikov’s fakes shoot better than the M16, this says a lot
