Kalashnikov is power!

A young researcher and author of the channel on YouTube set up a curious experiment with a Kalashnikov assault rifle, surprising even himself with the results. The young man, who introduced himself as Dustin, placed the machine gun in an aquarium full of water, and fired one shot, wanting to make sure that the liquid slowed down the work of the famous weapons. It turned out that quite the opposite.

For the experience, Dustin and his assistant needed papin's automatic machine, video cameras, a rather large aquarium and some time to make a special mount for the AK-47. Immediately before the experiment, Dustin tells viewers about the structure of the machine gun and how the AK-47 is recharging after the shot.

The author of the experience says that the speed of reloading the machine depends on the speed of movement of the shutter. And to make it easier to follow the shutter, Dustin hangs on it a white cap and removes the process on a high-speed camera.

Dustin was sure that the water would interfere with the operation of the machine: he had no doubt that the Kalashnikov would fire, but he believed that the reload speed would certainly interfere with the water. What was his surprise when it turned out that actually sending the cartridge to the chamber in the water takes place even faster than on land, because H2O does not need to be compressed.

Note that the "water procedures" did not disable the AK-47: as soon as the bullet smashed the aquarium, watering the experimenter with water, Dustin fired again to make sure that the father's machine was intact.

This has long been verified.
In addition to the underwater APS, there is already an "amphibious ASM-DT" Sea Lion "

ASM-DT is an experimental machine created at the Tula Design and Engineering Institute of Engineering on the basis of APS. A distinctive feature of the machine is its ability to shoot both in normal conditions and with special ammunition under water.

For experience, Dustin and his assistant needed a daddy machine

And dad will not find grief for this? All the same, not a toy

[Canep]

A brilliant assault rifle, I did not know that it was possible to shoot from it under water. But why does AK need his dad?

All dads need Kalash; I wouldn’t refuse either. And store like a real man under the sofa

Dustin fired again to make sure daddy's assault rifle was intact.

... and that you can’t be afraid of dad’s belt!

I don’t think this is a good idea. Children can get there. And to defend your home from robbers, a pistol, video surveillance, alarm and police will help better (in that order).

[cth; fyn]

Well amer

[avant-garde]

Kalashnikov is power!- Of course, force was created after all with the soul and for the defense of the motherland, and not for carrying the shit democracy to the masses!

[INC_1254]

In the United States, the population has a very large number of rifled-automatic weapons on hand, and a good part of these weapons was produced or was created (subsequently produced in other countries) in Russia (the USSR) and many people respect the AK family and have it on free sale.

The striped have so many "civilian" weapons!
A IF CIVIL WAR ???
They shot each other!

Are you probably upset? at least they have a choice, but we are still afraid

[Scandinavian]

Recently, more and more Americans trust the AK brand and prefer to buy it as a protection for themselves.

As they say tested on their own skin and approved by users

[borisjdin1957]

from the Don.
No wonder the AK is considered one of the symbols of Russia! But I would like to be proud of the civilian areas of production. Unfortunately, as long as the Jews have resources, production is only falling! Mom is going around the country !!!

[Shadowcat]

In general, you can shoot from any machine under water and in water, the whole question is in the depth of immersion and lethality of the shot.
If anyone is interested, look at the 38th series of shock force, there they scoffed at AK better)

[Ivan79]

Of course! This is Kalashnikov! But in space there’s nothing to stop him at all!

[sashka]

No wonder a whole IL-76 was driven for ONE PERSON .. This is a monument that a man created with his own hands. He is already inscribed in History, like all epic heroes .. "Kalash" is not a name or a name. This is a definition.

[cobalt]

Reliable, tested, made in the USSR!

[pensioner]

Good morning everybody! About AK so much is said that there is nothing to add. I would like to draw attention to this. After watching this video, for example, I first drew attention to the following. Look: how many useful skills this still very young man has !. You can only envy. And with what desire and ingenuity he set up this experiment! You can talk a lot about Americans, but you can only envy the way they can instill a love of technology in their children.

[cobalt]

And so AK tested at PMC Black Water

[cobalt]

And so with the help of AK they fire

[roial]

well and easy to learn

[Reserve buildbat]

The feeling that the level of mental development is the same for ALL heroes of the video.

[FunkschNNX]

This is a relative of one of the fighters On what looks like in a red T-shirt.

[Trailer]

Americans have appreciated and honored the AK-47 since Vietnam!

[sasha.28blaga]

I myself would like to buy AK, let it lie under the sofa. Strange business amers can afford AK, but we do not. Amer’s very happy faces from the video.

[Vladomir]

AK is a brand, it is power, it is glory, it is a great man who created it !!!

[Nayhas]

This effect is true for any weapon using gas exhaust. The point is not in the genius of AK, but in the properties of water, in its incompressibility. Those. when we shoot in the air, for the powder gases to act on the gas piston, it is necessary to go from the holes in the barrel to the piston through the gas tube. When we shoot in water, there is water in the gas tube and when a shot occurs, the gases expanding and press on the water, which acts on the piston, and therefore the shutter moves faster. This can lead to the destruction of weapons. Yes, and there is no point in shooting under water, the bullet quickly loses energy and becomes safe by the mean meter.

[Black Colonel]

Half a meter is unlikely. After 5 meters I will believe. Well, in an emergency and under water, you’ll have to shoot, for example, at sea, when a shark wants to try you for a tooth. In this case, you will not think about the safety of the barrel and the bolt group.

[Nayhas]

Due to the high density of water (relative to air, of course), the bullet begins to tumble and behaves like an ass moving forward in the wound canal, so it quickly loses energy.

[cobalt]

A submarine was created in our country back in the 70s and so far only we have such weapons in service.

[La hire]

I’m in a hurry to upset you, the Chinese have already copied it

[Uncle lee]

Whoever comes to Kalash to us will die from Kalash!

[ed65b]

And in Iraq, amers also go with AK.

[EXA-2]

The only weapon that when shooting gives me pleasure.

[vitas]

Check out what happens to the M4 after the water. There are doubts that the M4 was "ripped" on purpose, since the tester shoots from the M4 in a protective helmet (and in Russian O_o), and from the HK 416 he shoots without a helmet.

MOSCOW, June 26 - RIA Novosti. The state of health of 93-year-old designer Mikhail Kalashnikov is improving every day, his secretary-assistant Sergei Nosachev told RIA Novosti on Wednesday. May God grant him health. AK - a machine gun with a Russian "soul", and therefore does not go crazy. Looks like there are still doubts in the West about the strength of our weapons, let them not hesitate - Made in Russia.

[Reserve buildbat]

Yeah ... AK never raised questions about reliability, but look - it becomes a pity. They scoff at the device. It would be better if they gave it to me. Priigaditstsa.

So the machine does not fit with tolerance

[Reserve buildbat]

Hi Yuri! I will be happy if I can calmly say: "I didn’t crap."
And tolerance is not included in the AK package, so I need it NE TREBA.

[Taoist]

I posted this news as an illustration of the capabilities and reliability of the weapon. Not all automatic weapons will shoot at all under water. In any case, there are strong doubts about the M16. Most likely, it will jam and break, if not the barrel, then the gas vent mechanism. Primarily due to the "too precise" fit of the moving parts. The water medium, as practically incompressible, transfers all shock loads instantly and there will be nothing to damp them. The genius of Kalashnikov is precisely in the fact that he was originally made "slack" - this, of course, somewhat reduces the accuracy, but makes the weapon practically immune to external influences.
By the way, those who believe that in the water a bullet will lose its lethal force almost half a meter later are very mistaken ... It's just that a standard bullet will quickly lose stability on its trajectory and, accordingly, it will be impossible to hit ... but the kinetic energy will not go anywhere. That is why, in the same APS, "feathered bullets-arrows" are used - but unfortunately they do not work well in the air. Now a two-medium machine has been created in which, by simply replacing the store, you can switch from underwater to aerial shooting.

[sashka]

Oddly enough, this will sound, but Kalashnikov saved much more lives with his invention than he took ...

[revnagan]

By the way, those who believe that in a water a bullet almost half a meter will lose lethal force are greatly mistaken ... Just a standard bullet will quickly lose stability on the trajectory and accordingly it will be impossible to get ... but kinetic energy will not go anywhere.

Nothing of the kind, we shoot ammunition for a bullet casing. They shoot at a test station at a 200-liter barrel of water. The height of the barrel is slightly higher than a person's waist. They shoot almost point-blank, but there are not even dents on the bottom of the barrel. Cartridges for AK, PM, TT, "Nagant" ... Just need to wear a spray apron a lot.

[Taoist]

In this case, the main quenching occurs at the boundary of the media and the bullet somersaults even faster. And since they shoot very close to the water, she still does not have time to become stable. if the water extinguished the bullet so that for a meter it stopped the bullet with AK, this would greatly facilitate the life of underwater saboteurs. I dived two meters and you can’t get any of the small arms ... But to put it mildly, it’s not so.
At the dawn of my lieutenant youth, I served in Ochakovo and spoke closely with colleagues from Maysky Island ... They would greatly be surprised at your conclusions.

[revnagan]

Quote: Taoist

They would be very surprised at your conclusions.

These are not conclusions, but real events. They shot cartridges, poured out water, handed over the bullets to the resolvers. And the bullets are whole, and neither the bottom of the barrel, nor the walls are broken, and this is a fact. But your words about the boundary of the media and somersault of the bullet is a pure theory.

[Taoist]

Well, then try next time to shoot at the same barrel from a distance of a couple of meters ... - check the "theory"

[misham]

I hope the father gave him a good belt. At least robbed of pocket money.
A weapon is not a toy. You can accidentally bang someone during an experiment. All for what likes on YouTube.
Laurels of destroyers of legends haunt.
I hope their police figured out the aftertaste of the video and carried out outreach

[darksoul]

Well, to the heap ... amerikosy learn to shoot with ak

[Thunderbolt]

AK is a weapon of the universal scale. I would not be surprised if in the future earthlings land on an unknown planet with a reliable Kalashnikov behind their back.
