      I heard that they put the line more obediently. That is, they are really cooler in firepower.

        The inside box is the same. So it's doubtful. This can be screwed onto the old butt, too.

          no, even the compensator can influence (the coolest, by the way, on the Kalash, the rest is almost perfect), they changed a lot of details, the main thing in my opinion, the transition to the gas outlet, this is obvious.

            But as a clear plus I will note the distance from the front sight to the rear sight, it simplifies aiming. If desired, you can generally put a human ring sight.

              Probably correct if the machine is more obedient in use.

                  Accuracy of automatic fire, efficiency, is inferior to AKM, it is not clear why, maybe the compensator is just a little better in AK-12, but AK-12 is more effective.

                      No, I did not shoot with them, I am guided by the video, I see how the barrel reacts in my hands, I shot from another, less powerful one.

                        Yes, the AK-12 is not where to shoot more heap. Unless it depends on the arrow.
                        Yes, the telescopic stock is a plus for ergonomics. But purely so, it's still the same AK-74.

                          It is then necessary to exclude the human factor and shoot from a fixed state, with only cartridges. Then it will be seen whether the accuracy has grown or not.

                          If we exclude the human factor, then there is nothing for specialists to do there, shoot as you want.

                          Then not to say whether the accuracy is higher, since there is a human factor.

                          Here the PPSh American special forces select purely humanly, although it is heavy and uncomfortable to wear, but in battle it will load a dozen lead parcels where the M-16 will wrap a couple, it will no longer be able to, will not have time and the barrel will take away. The fascists stopped advancing from the moment the units of the red army received the PPSh, the melee to the fascists was a bummer, and whoever is impotent in the near will be in the ass at any distance.

                          Americans and PPSh? Are you confusing anything? But if we take the PP, then this is either the P-90 or the MP-7. 7.62x25 is shamelessly outdated today.
                          And to compare PP with an assault rifle, well, such a thing.

                          I don’t confuse, more than once their special forces were shown with the PPSh behind them.

      I heard a proposal to arrange a turbine with powder gases in the compensator to compensate for what the bullet pushed along the barrel thread creates, twisting the weapon by a degree with each spit.

      The AK-12 is certainly something. A machine that no one asked for and no one expected, but it appeared. And yes, the tubular AR stock is the guard. But they saved a lot.

      PPSh and American special forces. They write that these are just pictures of Americans with captured weapons, or instructors in Iraq, in which the police were armed with this machine gun.
      There is a mention that in 2018 some crews of American armored vehicles additionally had PPSh, but without reference to where it came from
