Rostec announced the start date of state tests of the small-sized machine AM-17 "Malysh"

The new small-sized machine gun AM-17, developed as part of the Malysh R&D project, will enter the state testing stage in 2021. About this in an interview with RIA News said Bekkhan Ozdoev, industrial director of the weapons complex of the state corporation "Rostec".

According to Ozdoev, preliminary tests of the AM-17 machine have been completed, and prototypes of the machine are being manufactured, which will participate in state tests. The development was ordered by the Ministry of Defense, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Russian Guard have already expressed interest in the machine.

The preliminary tests of the machine have already been completed, they were successful. We plan to transfer the AM-17 for state tests next year. I note that the tactical and technical assignment was approved by the Ministry of Defense, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Russian Guard also showed interest in this development.

- he added.

For our part, we note that, most likely, we are talking about two assault rifles at once: the AM-17 itself chambered for 5,45X39 and its modification AMB-17 chambered for 9X39.

Small-sized automatic machines AM-17 and AMB-17 were developed by the Kalashnikov concern to replace the outdated AKS-74U and AS Val.

The total length of the AM-17 assault rifle is 740 mm, the barrel length is 230 mm. The cartridge used is 5,45X39 mm, the magazine holds 30 rounds. The telescopic stock folds to the right, the fire mode switches are located on both sides of the machine. The cocking handle can be located on both the right and left sides weapons... There is a Picatinny rail that allows you to install various sights and lights on the weapon. AM-17 weight - 2,5 kg.

The small-sized silent machine AMB-17 as a whole repeats the design of the "basic" AM-17, but has a number of characteristic differences. AMB-17 received a modified barrel with an integrated silencer. The cartridge used is 9X39 mm. Magazine for 20 and 30 rounds.

The total length of the AM-17 assault rifle is 740 mm, the barrel length is 230 mm.

Without any thought, just a statement of the actual parameters in comparison:

AM-17, barrel length 230mm, which demonstrates relatively "full-size" AK-74 with a barrel length of 415mm, "loss" 185 mm.
Relative to the AKS-74U, with a barrel length of 206,5 mm, the "gain" is 23,5 mm, which should have a positive effect on the accuracy and range of a direct shot of the new model.

Redo it, there would be a desire. Unfortunately there is no desire. There is only a desire to cut. It is worth remembering the epic with pistols! As the PM was the main one, it remained! I am generally silent about Kalash. Nothing new, we replaced the wood with plastic and finally screwed on the standard strips for the devices. Otherwise, there are no changes.

[Note]

How do you imagine when ejecting a weapon with a connection, nz? What overloads are there. Yes, the pilots have nothing with them only for two reasons. The first cockpit of the aircraft is a very limited space in which it is still necessary to reach all the levers and other controls. Overloads of several g, which already cause micro-trauma, and if something is also fixed hard and heavy on the suit .. Well, in case of emergency leaving, all those items that you think are on the pilot will simply kill him. Therefore, the whole name is in the chair. And the pilot gets it after landing. If you're lucky.

How can you have it with you if you do not attach it to a suspended one, as in the Airborne Forces, for example? If without a store (in your pocket), nothing seems to be in the way. I, however, do not remember the details of the suspended PSU (so, it seems, was called).

No. We had another holster for carrying without a magazine under the left armpit, allowing for quick removal. And during jumps, the machine gun was most often attached to a suspension on the chest diagonally under the spare wheel. Why doesn't the pilot hang like that? It seems that nothing interferes with manipulations with cabin fittings.

[K-612-O]

No, here the principle of operation of automation is slightly different. 3 lugs, short gas piston. Due to which it is both lighter and faster. And of course plastic.

[Avior]

I'm afraid everything will run into the fact that the 5,45 cartridge is too powerful for a short barrel.

[K-612-O]

Watch the video of the shooting, the machine works

[garri-lin]

9 × 21? 7,62 × 25? The first one seems to have already gone to the troops. For a pistol.

[Deniso]

Such "short-barrels" are an outdated and not very promising concept. The problem with the AKS-74U and the like is that the barrel length does not match the characteristics of intermediate low-impulse cartridges (overcharge, light bullet, as a result, a small destructive force and mediocre accuracy). The only advantage is the unification of ammunition. Further development (rather even a new concept) was an increase in caliber and a decrease in charge.

[La Peruse]

I wrote above ... PP Cypress, Cedar, instead of 9x18, remake it for a different cartridge and that's it

[Avior]

There is also a second direction - caliber reduction

[La Peruse]

We have problems with caliber reduction ... Gunpowder !!! Unfortunately, we both lagged behind and are lagging behind.

But, in fact, none of this solves the problem, since even "full-fledged" submachine guns for an intermediate cartridge do not suffer greatly from the spread of body armor.

I think the name "baby" is not very good, especially since the Ukrainians are still busy with their "baby"

by the way, the design men could bring to mind a bullpup, at least a full-weight barrel, coupled with a traditional cartridge, the tankers could fight back. But this is all controversy, nothing good will appear, this is not a cut of budgetary allocations ...

[K-612-O]

Here the bull-pap is just a dead-end branch of development and you can't fold the butt. All new samples somehow do without a bull-dad.

[Alexfly]

So there is no butt ... Pukalka with a pistol barrel, the tanker does not need it!

[Yves762]

Bullpup was tried for a long time and many. Some even had / is in service as the main one, but it did not take root completely. Apparently the same "stone flower does not come out", and it's not just the crooked hands of designers ...

[Recon]

I have something to say, and I did not put downsides, because Mr. Laperuse is right in many ways. I disagree that there is no need to reinvent the wheel. As it should be. This particular platform should certainly be actively implemented, for at least one reason: the stability of the optics. If you have worked with the AK platform, you will understand what I mean. Personally, I have worked and work a lot and for a long time, and this problem is not fundamentally solved by either side brackets, or slats instead of a rear sight, or integrated receiver covers - nothing. AK-12 seems to be stable yet, but there is a steady tendency for loosening and backlash of the moving parts of the cover. I, as an active user, want to set the sight, bring the weapon to normal combat and forget about it. I will not talk about the modifications of "Cedar", "Cypress", etc., because I did not use it, but specifically the AK-shaped weapon is a dead end.

[Note]

You are a Recon in your dreams and may be an active user of the "AK-platform" in computer shooters :) AK-shaped .... not a single fighter of even the most "super duper elite" unit will call a Kalash like that. You at least to yourself read what you write in the comments before publishing. Where are you going to shoot with optics from the AK? Why optics then? Not even a collimator, but optics? Are you a sniper in your dreams? "The tendency for loosening and backlash of the moving parts of the cover"? Have you even held a model of a Kalashnikov assault rifle in your hands?

Sorry Recon, I was not at all offended and did not even flare up, but I was somewhat surprised and annoyed by your categorical statement that AK is a dead end. The fact is that a more reliable and unpretentious weapon, which so many times (saved) rescued both me and a great many other people (warriors), in the most difficult situations, as well as having such a huge modernization potential, I have never met in the world history of the weapons being created. It can only be compared with a blade weapon that has passed the centuries-old milestone of transformations in the service of man. Only respect for the genius of the creator MT Kalashnikov and the glory of this sample of Russian weapons caused this reaction. Here I say goodbye and once again apologize.

If you want a compact barrel, why not consider a bullpup - both compact and features like a full-size Kalash

[Note]

At one time, I had the opportunity to work with various types of weapons, including hand-held small arms, of domestic production, both the Soviet period and the Russian. When working with the SVD, severe contamination of the gas outlet assembly was noted during intensive use. That is, after shooting three or more magazines (30-40) cartridges, each subsequent one increased the recoil and, reaching the number of 90-100, the so-called complex delays began to occur. The AM 17 circuit has one major major flaw and several smaller flaws. They don't talk about it because in fact it cannot be eliminated. The fact is that the AM 17 gas outlet unit is essentially a reduced, shortened copy of the SVD unit. Moreover, if this unit is quite suitable for working with SVD, given the profile of this sample, then for working with the AM 17 profile this unit of automation of loads of a dense rate of fire and the number of shots fired simply will not withstand. Refusals will follow after shooting 3-4 magazines. Plus, the barrel drifts are enhanced from the increasing recoil. Now for the less significant disadvantages. Firstly, it is a well-known fact for those who worked with samples E.F. Dragunov, which in no way diminishes the merits of this group of hand-held small arms: The bolt group and USM units are much more sensitive to external pollution factors such as dust, sand, liquid containing soil, etc. due to a more dense layout and a single assembly (USM) in a separate case, which means if contaminated by any of the above factors, the assembly will have to be removed and disassembled, followed by cleaning. That is somewhat difficult in the field, not to mention the conditions of the battle. Secondly, to enhance the strength of the plastic, metal elements were added to the box to reinforce it along its entire length, due to the transfer of the butt attachment to the plastic body of the box, below the top cover, which is a solid metal part. As a result, the total weight of the product increased. In the modern version, the AM 17 turned out to be more massive and dimensional relative to the designer's plan, which completely neutralized all the planned "advantages" in relation to the samples already in service.

These developments are like manure in the farmyard, who would tackle the problem of cartridges, for new weapons new cartridges are needed and especially high-quality gunpowder. Use cartridges 5,45x39 and 9x39 in short-barreled weapons is nonsense.

[Note]

About new powder mixtures, possible derivatives for ammunition assembly, i.e. new alloys, calibers, principles of changing and improving ballistics, as well as the use of other substances in the processes of the shot, to the point!

The meaning of a small machine gun chambered for 5,45?
This cartridge for increasing the flatness of the fire, "plays" at a greater distance, however, the damaging effect is reduced because of this.
For a small machine, 7, 62 to 39 are more profitable, the stopping effect is higher.

Does the plastic stink after 100 shots as well as the AK? The barrel is 230 mm long, the question immediately arises about the aiming range ... Since personal experience of using the AKSU suggests that it is almost impossible to get out of it further than a hundred meters, despite the rather powerful cartridge.

First and foremost: learn to shoot and more on the shooting range, practically. As well as the "flyers" need to do the same. Served urgently with AKS74U, 33 years ago, and shot at the shooting range, thank God, only there, not lower than 4 points .Hitting targets at 100-150 m., And at 300-350 m., And at 450-500 m. And it worked.
