The Russian army is equipped with an AK-12 rifle. The design of the old and new firepower is fierce. Soldiers praise: It is too easy to use

After World War II, the AK-47 assault rifle developed by the Soviet Union once made it at the forefront of the world's light weapons field, which greatly promoted the development of the 7.62mm caliber rifle. On the basis of the AK-47, the Soviet Union developed the AK-74 assault rifle. , Making the individual combat weapons in the hands of Soviet soldiers more powerful. However, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, due to the long service time of the AK-74 series assault rifles in the army, the Russian army's dissatisfaction with this weapon gradually increased. The problems mainly focused on the large recoil, insufficient shooting accuracy and difficulty in installing modern accessories. Three major aspects. In order to solve this problem, Russia has introduced many new assault rifle designs. The more famous ones are AN-94, AEK-971 and AK-12 assault rifles. By using new technology, the first two rifles have solved the problem to a certain extent. However, the Russian army is still dissatisfied with the above-mentioned problems. These two weapons eventually served only in a small number of Russian troops and became part of Russia's arms exports. The AK-12 assault rifle is operated by the Kalashnikov Group, the manufacturer of the AK-74. It boldly innovates while adopting a mature design as much as possible. It basically overcomes the shortcomings of the AK-74 series and has begun to install the Russian army. In the evaluation of Russian soldiers, the AK-12 assault rifle has powerful firepower, novel design, and is very easy to use. The weight of

AK-12 is close to that of AK-74. The whole gun weighs 3.3 kg and has a caliber of 5.45 mm. From the aspect of appearance, compared with traditional AK series assault rifles, AK-12 has not completely abandoned the design of traditional AK series assault rifles. The language still retains the traditional long-stroke piston air guide automatic mechanism and gunshot locking slewing mechanism of the AK series assault rifles. However, in order to reduce the recoil, the designers of the Kalashnikov Group have optimized the automatic mechanism of the gun. The movement is smoother than AK-47 and AK-74. The powerful firepower of the

AK-12 assault rifle is closely related to its magazine capacity and rate of fire. The AK-12 uses a 4-row double-injection engineering plastic magazine similar to those used in European and American firearms. The ammunition capacity is up to 60 rounds, which is AK. -74 twice, which makes the AK-12's firepower lasting better than the AK-74. The rate of fire of the AK-12 is determined by the speed wrench located above the handle. The speed of the AK-12 wrench has 4 gears, namely insurance, single shot, 3-shot burst and full automatic shooting. In shooting mode, the theoretical rate of fire of the AK-12 assault rifle is as high as 600 rounds/minute, and the speed of the 3-shot burst is faster, at 1000 rounds/minute. While possessing powerful firepower, AK-12's tactical rail can also be equipped with a variety of modular tactical accessories, such as night vision goggles, optical sights, tactical lights, grenade launchers, fore grips, etc., which are very useful flexibility. What's amazing is that, according to the manufacturer, the AK-12 can also be operated with one hand, even if the soldier is injured, it can be done with one hand, such as changing the magazine. The

AK-12 also inherits the reliability of the traditional AK series assault rifles. In the documentary produced by Russian Red Star TV for AK-12 and other weapons, the AK-12 has undergone harsh tests. The testers used a blowtorch with a flame temperature of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius to heat the AK-12 barrel for several seconds until the barrel The AK-12 could still be used normally after being burnt red. Generally speaking, when the barrel is red, if the barrel is fired without cold treatment, it is easy to cause the barrel to break or even explode. However, these problems did not occur in the AK-12 test, which is enough to show that the AK -12 ultra-high reliability.

In the Russian army’s vision, the AK-12 assault rifle is part of the "future fighter" plan. In addition to the AK-12, the Kalashnikov Group has also developed a 7.62 mm caliber that is used in conjunction with the AK-12 assault rifle. The AK-15 assault rifle and the 5.45 mm RPK-16 light machine gun, these weapons are expected to enter the Russian team and become the new Russian military standard equipment. Interestingly, in addition to equipment for the Russian military, the AK-12 also has a version for foreign markets. In addition to the 5.45 mm caliber, the AK-12 also has a caliber of 7.62 mm and 5.56 mm, which can meet the Russian standard bombs. It can also meet NATO standard bombs.
