When the machine has a spring from the handle: the worst Kalashnikov assault rifles

22

In the world there is a certain circle of countries that are engaged in licensed production of small arms. weapons. There are those who stamp copies without any license from an official manufacturer. The real world record holder for the number of copies and “alterations” is the Kalashnikov assault rifle.

In the plot of the Kalashnikov concern, a video is presented in which the worst AK variants are considered. We are talking about foreign-made machines.



Vladimir Onokoi:

The funny thing is that today no one will undertake to say in how many countries Kalashnikovs were manufactured. I counted 27, but maybe even more.

The author of the video notes that the quality of the weapons produced can even depend on such everyday situations when the wife leaves the participant in the production process of the barrels and he goes into a bout.

Onokoi:

I managed to make a list of the worst Kalashnikovs. 5th place - China. As one friend told me, the Chinese are making machine guns from chewed foil. In fact, this is not so.

The expert talks about the case when, in the Chinese AK, instead of the usual extractor spring, he found a ballpoint pen spring. And it was on many machines.

      I hope that while I am writing this, someone will already take first place in the comments ... winked
      I liked the video from Vladimir Onokoy, I feel that he talks only about what he knows well from his own experience.
      This is valuable! Yes
      He respected Vladimir after his film about the M-16 and an interview with gunsmiths. good
      I will wait with interest for the continuation of the "rating" and am already intrigued by what country-producer of AK clones the respected Author will put in the "Top 1" ?! wink

        Hello buddy Pishchak! hi A long time ago you were not visible and I am glad to meet.
        I also watched the video with interest and remembered what our officers, who were on a business trip to Damanskoye after the conflict, told me. So they said that the barrel of the Chinese Kalash can be bent literally "on the knee" and without any locksmith tools. I myself did not hold a Chinese weapon in my hands, so I am transmitting what I heard myself.
        Good luck and health to you and all your relatives and friends.
        Regards, Your Cat. smile drinks

          hi Hello, my Dear Senior Comrade Konstantin aka Sea Cat!
          Every Divine Day I visit VO and its sister Reporter. Yes
          I just do not like to stick out on the first lines (I usually wait until the comments are typed, especially since sometimes I even observe some "writer's insults" and attempts of "showdowns" that did not have time to "cram" first with their post under some news or article -I need it ?! smile ), but today it just so happened ... request
          I regularly read and appreciate your Explanatory Comments! good

          Back in the mid-70s, one of our courtyard comrades, who served a "conscription" on the Chinese border, told how they surrounded and took a Chinese border violator alive.
          Seemingly frail, the Chinese intruder fought well and fought back with his feet, our border guards blocked those attacks, substituting their AKM flat and as a result of this "melee" they bent! request I, then still only familiar with the earlier, "unkillable", AK with a very strong and massive milled receiver (including the version with a "border swivel belt" and a reinforced fastening of a wooden buttstock), that story was very surprised, probably that is why and remember ?! winked
          Chinese AKs also rusted very quickly, and did not fire with all cartridges (unlike Soviet AKs, which were capable of "working" with cartridges from any manufacturing country).

          Well-being and Health to you, my friend Konstantin, and to all your close ones! drinks
          With sincere Regards, Your Pishchak (also a Cat, but in Farsi smile ).

        Who is it - looking at the attitude of VO in recent years, undoubtedly Poland ;-)

        And in fact, Poland once produced complete shit - wz. 88 Tantal with a butt, similar to a rake in the style of the GDR, which, when shooting on a dash, the bulbs tore apart (I myself was a witness) a it was difficult to aim.

        Beryl currently produced is certainly better made and, for example, enjoys a good reputation in the US civilian market.
        Private-owned Kalashnikov clones are of high quality, such as WBP Rogów products.

        Politics, however, politics ;-)

        Automatic ballpoint pens usually have springs made of very good metal, which may turn out to be even better than the spring of a native AK
        but this does not mean that they are interchangeable

          Forgive me, it may look better than the AK's one, but can you imagine what kind of loads this "native spring" holds? Plastic, thermal loads are very different there, and if really the spring of a fountain pen is better than a gun one, then the pen will be "platinum"

          hi In the video of Vladimir Onokoy there is a photo of an authentic Soviet (specially wound woven spring wire, a priori resistant to repeated cyclic loads at a sufficiently high operating temperature!) the ejector spring and that "shrunken" Chinese spring, wound from "very notbad"Chinese single wire" for ballpoint pens ", which was not originally intended for use in such critical (moreover, hyper-multicyclic and temperature-loaded!) mechanisms like small arms! wink

        They can forget to mount a little Chinese, but I can not imagine a Chinese product without a flashlight.

      Thanks for the photo AKMS. My favorite Soviet-made machine gun. And the fact that Afghan General Dostum came to the Russian Federation with a request to purchase an AK speaks volumes! hi

        - why in the Russian Federation? In his own way, he could not buy them in Uzbekistan and other CIS countries ?? Religion did not allow the Uzbek to buy from the Uzbeks? lol

          On September 2, 2015, Dostum was in Russia with a question about military assistance. Visited Chechnya. What I agreed with Kadyrov is silence. Weapons, including AK, needed new ones. hi

          The Uzbeks would have to pay, and the Russians would give on credit, and then write off the debt :)
