A Kalashnikov assault rifle version with artisanal silencer integration introduced
The network showed another version of "homemade" based on a Kalashnikov assault rifle. We are talking about AKM, with which a very peculiar silencer is integrated.
The silencer is designed in such a way that it actually overlaps the entire rifle barrel weapons. In the lower part, a certain resemblance of the forearm is highlighted, for which the shooter also holds during the execution of practical training shooting. Thus, the very design of the silencing system (in shape and placement) is fundamentally different from what is usually used as a silencer for machines. Silencer with plane-parallel side faces.
A separate issue is the advisability of using silencers for AK. For obvious reasons, in the case of the usual use of machine gun rifle units, the need to muffle the sound of shots tends to zero. Therefore, the option is to use such a design for special units. If so, then another question is: how effective is the use by special forces of the AK model that is presented in the video under discussion?
By and large, this kind of “homemade work” (it was called Velociraptor in the network) looks not so much as really popular options for the construction of small arms of Soviet design, but as attempts at self-promotion on weapons that itself does not need any advertising and has proven itself in the service various armies of the world.
And these are previously published shots of using Steel silencers on Kalashnikov assault rifles and machine guns with a decrease in the volume of the sound of the shot by about 45-50%.
