Tests AK-201 under the NATO cartridge for resistance to extreme conditions

The latest models of Kalashnikov assault rifles of the 200 series are a truly strategic product that the Kalashnikov concern produces to meet the needs of the Russian army and special services. To date, they continue to be one of the most "indestructible" and reliable machines in the world.

The Kalashnikov concern published a video in which it conducts extreme tests of one of the models of the 200 series - the AK-201 assault rifle, developed under the NATO cartridge 5,56 × 45-mm and, thus, ready to go for export and compete with the American arms AR-15 and M-16.

This machine has a number of undeniable advantages, which Georgy Gubich, a specialist in the concern, will talk about. He will check the AK-201 brand machine for reliability in conditions of severe pollution, dust and will conduct the most stringent endurance test.

Will the AK-201 Kalashnikov rifle withstand the NATO cartridge under all extreme tests with dignity, confirming its unsurpassed reliability? Can the tests carried out guarantee a good export potential of the weapon?

And if you put the shutter up and sprinkle all this Mr. (sand, dirt)?

The mere fact that this weapon uses Russian cartridges without misfires speaks of its reliability. Any Western weapon quickly gets their "non-production"

Russian cartridges are not bad, especially Barnaul. IMHO

Pay attention to the marking of the box with cartridges, there are two letters GS - the steel sleeve. More than one country in the world doesn’t design such brass shells anymore. This one alone kills any enemy weapon on the spot.

The French for Clairen make 5.56 in a steel sleeve. Clairen's brass chokes. Steel is mild its negative qualities for Nick's cartridge are greatly exaggerated.

On the spot, it kills the spread of any untrue information by "Internet experts" who are far from the question

STEEL MATCH ™ steel cartridge target cartridges from the American Hornady Manufacturing Company.

You are right and this is your information from this category. I explain. Target cartridges are sniper, and in sniper weapons, with the exception of our SVD, automation has not gained distribution. When using a steel sleeve, it is the automation that is subjected to the main loads

Unlike Kalashnikov, who calmly "uses" both ...

You are right and this is your information from this category.
Are you serious or blue-eyed?
I explain. Target cartridges are sniper
Target cartridges are sporting cartridges. Depending on the requirements for ballistic characteristics of sports cartridges, they are divided into three groups: ordinary sports, target, target with increased accuracy of combat (A.A. Yuryev Bullet sports shooting)
I specially picked up a photo where the entire range is presented. After all, there are pistol cartridges. Can you name samples of sniper pistols?
and in sniper weapons, with the exception of our SVD, such as automation did not spread.
PSG1, M110 SASS, RSASS, FN SCAR, Mark 12 Mod 0/1 - only those that are in service today.

Excuse me and are they ready to use these cartridges?

Excuse me and are they ready to use these cartridges?
You have an interesting way to lead a discussion.
First you write: "Pay attention to the marking of the box with cartridges, there are two letters GS - a steel sleeve. Not one country in the world anymore designs such sleeves, they are brass. This alone kills any enemy weapon outright. "
That is, you say that no country in the world designs steel casings, because steel casings "kill" any weapon.
When you are presented with irrefutable evidence that ammunition with steel sleeves is designed and used, you immediately change your shoes in flight and turn on the score about sniper cartridges and that there are no semi-automatic sniper rifles besides SVD in the world.
When this moment is also refuted, you again change your shoes in a jump and ask whether these ammunition is applicable to the indicated weapon.
Do not find it somewhat tactless to the opponent?
STEEL MATCH ® can be used without restrictions in any weapon, as you can see on the company's website. You can learn how widely such ammunition is used, you can find yourself on the network a lot of forums like https://waffenforum.gun-forum.de. By the way, Russian ammunition with steel shells in Europe and the United States is also known and used.
On this I think the discussion is completed, further expand your erudition yourself.
All the best.

Sori. And in what do you see tactlessness? I continue to defend my erroneous opinion with foam at the mouth, or “I haven't sprinkled ashes on my head enough.” Sorry, but you have some kind of hypertrophied opinion about your personality. Yes, I admit that you are a good specialist in this matter. And thank you for the information. But remember, be easier for people and they will be drawn to you ...

[Undecim]

I am not talking about my personality at all. It is only a discussion style, irrespective of a specific individual.
As for people, believe it or not, but I do not lack communication, both in life and in the network.
Anyway, thanks for the tip.

Not at all. Glad if it turned out to be useful.

The topic of Kalash’s indestructibility is inexhaustible and inedible.

[Basarev]

So what's so fundamentally new here? Before us is still the same hodgepodge of other people's pre-war decisions, not a single Russian node proper. Maybe we should finally recognize the final technical obsolescence of the AK and come to grips with the development of a completely new machine? And the reliability of NATO is already quite at the level, no worse than that of AK, with much higher accuracy and convenience.

Normal wiring. Piccatini's stick was stuck to an old dead receiver cover. Will it last a long time ?!

What kind of IT is it? Picatini Replace with Weaver. Receiver? Yes, let it even tear. Vitality test AK-74M: rupture of the barrel at the gas chamber on a 587 (!!!) continuous firing shot. Put at least something off the side ... And as for the bar receiver, the collimator - this does not save life

[Strashila]

Judging by how sand poured during the excavation of the store, it was enough there, but the machine gun shot.
I liked the tests of the AK-203, on the same channel, frost, sand and tropics. Especially that they did freezing in place with cartridges.

[psiho117]

they’ll show us the tests now, we already know about the indestructibility of the AK circuit.
It was necessary to force then, when in Vietnam and Venezuela tenders for the re-equipment and construction of factories were held.
And now, when the chances are missed - what's the use of these tests?

Read to ".... This machine has a number of undoubted advantages, which will be described by Georgy Gubich, a specialist of the concern. He will check the AK-201 machine for reliability in conditions of heavy pollution, dusty and will conduct the most stringent endurance test ...." and that’s .... I didn’t see the point from the manufacturer.
