"Kalashnikov" offered elite special forces new machines

Concern "Kalashnikov" offered the special units of the Presidential Security Service (SPB) and the FSB new "adaptive" AK-400 assault rifles, the newspaper reported News with reference to a source in the DIC.

"Kalashnikov" offered elite special forces new machines


“AK-400 machines were presented at the end of last year at a meeting organized by the Presidential Security Service. Products are interested customers, but as long as they study them. There are several options for both the "Soviet" 7,62-mm cartridges, which AK-47 and AKM fired, and for more modern 5,45-mm ammunition, "said the source.

On the machines, thanks to the Picatinny rail, you can install any sight, laser designator or flashlight. In size, they are smaller than the AK-12, but not inferior to him in accuracy and accuracy of fire.

"AK-12 is weapon infantry, paratroopers, scouts. And the special forces soldiers need a more compact machine, which, on the one hand, is not inferior to the “twelfth” in accuracy and accuracy, and on the other, is small enough so that it can be used to storm houses, airplanes, trains and buses, jump with a parachute and walk in the forest, ”said the source.

The newspaper notes that little is known about the new weapon, “in particular, the length of the machine guns is approximately 940 mm, the weight is slightly more than 3 kg”.

It is also reported that "the" four-hundred "has a new fire mode -" Trim ", when for one press of the trigger the barrel releases only three bullets on the target."

It is also known that they are equipped with “a telescopic butt, which the shooter can shorten in seconds, or lengthen, or even fold to one side, making the machine so compact that it can be easily handled in a car or even hidden under clothes”.

        ------------------
        The article claims a length of 940 mm, which somehow spoils the whole impression. Maybe messed up or what? I thought that the machine for special forces should be more compact. And with cartridges like that I have doubts. Usually they use less powerful cartridges (with a lower bullet speed), such as pistol rounds, when it comes to storming rooms. And then the usual ricochet cartridges and everything, the bullet should stop in the body, and from such a short distance, five to ten meters will pass right through. In general, something in the article is wrong or I did not understand anything.

          There is a folding butt, telescopic. And the ability to use cartridges of caliber 7,62. In the body, of course, it is guaranteed not to get stuck, but it will not give a critical rebound in the room. But 5,45 can.

      It is good that there is movement in this direction. This is a plus.
      But it is perplexing to try to give out restyling of the good old AKs for some breakthrough ideas request
      We made a body kit, which they have been flaunting at exhibitions for the last 10 - 12 years, which guys on business trips have long been buying for their own and "modernize" AK in the field hi

    In my opinion, this is really an AK-74, but modified in terms of ergonomics and the possibility of "priblud" mounting. The mechanism is the same, but a modified compensator, which, according to experts, reduces recoil by 15% and improved accuracy when firing in long bursts. Its resource is also 10 shots.
    The meaning of its appearance is an alternative to AEK 971 or it is the new A 545.
    In AK 400 there is no balancer like AEK 971 and A 545.
    The main drawback of AEK 971 and A 545 is the wedge after 2 shots due to loosening of the hairpin connecting the balancers, which move in the opposite direction, and remove 000 of the 3 recoil factors (which you will read).
    In addition, it is more expensive to manufacture and more difficult to maintain. Consequently, this machine is not for long-term databases in isolation from the artillery workshops (you cannot sell it to "lumps" - they will break and dispel anti-advertising) and not for conscripts.
    The creators of AEK 971 and A 545 move them into the SP, saying that 2 shots are enough for the SP.
    And AK wants to get the whole order for machines.
    In my opinion, a monopoly is harmful and there should be an alternative. But the wedge of this stud must be dealt with.

And "elite" assumes machines with rhinestones "from Swarovski". It seems that the article is from some non-traditional "glamor". "More modern 5,45mm cartridges" - half of Russia was born later than the 5,45x39 cartridge appeared. “The newspaper notes that little is known about the new weapon,“ in particular, the length of the assault rifles is about 940 mm, the weight is a little more than 3 kg. ”I hesitate to ask, how long is the AK-12?

    Instead of a sector sight, the AK-400 assault rifle is equipped with an entire aperture located at the rear of the receiver cover. As with samples AK-102, AK-104 and AK-105, the front sight was transferred to the gas block. In this regard, the developers of the AK-400 borrowed the decisions of Finnish gunsmiths, introduced in Valmet Rk.62, which was adopted by Finland back in 1962.

    I wrote about this news yesterday.
    And now in fact. The photo and video show a new version of the AK-103-3-M, which can be called either AK-15 chambered for 7,62x39, or AK-400. And you can AK-1000. That’s not the point.
    The receiver is longer in length than the AK-12. The barrel may be slightly smaller or the same, that is 415 mm.
    Sights carried over and so really better. The vent pipe is adjacent to the barrel at a right angle, and not like the AKM. This is all visual data, it is easy to distinguish the remake from the old model. I don’t know what is inside. Judging by the fire translator / fuse, there are no major changes in the giblets.
    Now about something else. All together this is called PR! Why is he and why - HZ. What the AK-12 doesn’t like with the siloviki is not clear. There is an AK-12 carbine, Putin holds one in the photo. Just under the cartridge 7,62. He seems to be suitable for anyone.
    What a shitty thing. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Security Service, the Federal Security Service and the Defense Ministry order different trunks ... yes, yes, it’s about favorite unification and economy. It is clear that the army will not get rid of 5,45 for cartridges and barrels under them until kuya and more. And 7,62 are loved by specialists and their colleagues from other structures.
    In light of the fact that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has announced the development of a new Kord-5,45 light machine gun, the situation is becoming completely anecdotal. Behind all this, there may be a banal cut of the dough, or maybe something else. Information is zero.

    As a result - a bunch of chatter, a sea of ​​comments, hundreds of photos and videos and a choral bleating of amateurs on the topic "ah-ah! .." And things are still there!

    Article from 31th of January 2015 Rather, excerpts from it.
    Website http://www.militaryparitet.com/perevodnie/data/ic_perevodnie/6622/
    The Russian Defense Ministry has selected two Kalashnikov assault rifles as the new primary weapon of the Ratnik combat kit, Jane's reported on January 29.
    “We have already concluded a deal and have chosen Izhmash assault rifles. The plant won in terms of cost and efficiency. The quality is also acceptable for us, ”Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov told Russian Radio on January 24.
    Borisov said that two new machines manufactured at the Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant were selected for the Russian Armed Forces: AK-12 chambered for 5,45x39 and AK-103-4 for 7,62x39.
    7,62-mm AK-103-4 (photo below) is the latest version of the AK-74. It also features a Picatinny rail, telescopic folding stock and an effective muzzle brake compensator.
    Meanwhile, option AK-12 chambered for caliber 7,62 was selected for the Federal Security Service to replace automatic machines AKS-74U, AK-103 and AK-104.

    So, here is the AK-400 is nothing more than the AK-103-4.
