The New Russian Army rifle.

For anybody whos russian or knows their guns, the AK-74 is the russian army's main rifle. Assault Rifles have come a long way in the last 3 decades, so post your ideas for what should replace it.

My suggestion would be the AK-107. Kalashnikov has improved the recoil from the previous designs and the black fiber-glass reinforced polymer is cheaper than the wood used on the 74. And it uses the 5.45 round, which is a bit lighter than the standard NATO rounda t the moment and is cheaper to make as its made in russia.

I say the AK is fine as is right now, the motherland needs to work on getting her tech up, damn this Cold War mentality we have of them.

Make love, not war? Why does Russia need to improve their warfare at all?

Because they are behind, what if they were to be attacked?

You're 14. Why does this matter to you?

Why do all kids act like gun phenatics nowadays?

Re: The New Russian Army rifle.

I just thought seeing as most of the leading countries are updating their rifles(the british changed to the SA80, the US is changing to the SCAR-L), I wanted to know if anybody had any suggestions. And I don't act like a gun phenatic, I simply have an interest in military firearms.

6.5 Grendel is possibly the best assault rifle round ever created. It combines the knockdown power of 7.62X39(AK-47) with the range of the 223(M16, AR-10). Problem is since it is currently not used by any military or popular in the civilian market, its very expensive.

I think guns are useless wastes of scrap metal.

But that's just me.

Re: The New Russian Army rifle.

The reason the russians still us the AK-47 is because it's reliable, easy to use, and they have about a million surplus rifles. Not to mention the tonnes of spare ammunition they have.

Sure the 5.45 x 39 is cheaper but they have so much spare 7.62. The cost of the switch would be more than they would save.

Re: The New Russian Army rifle.

Um its the AK-74, not the 47. and the 74 uses 5.45mm. A lot of modern assault rifles don't use 7.62mm anymore due to it being too heavy.

You won`t be feeling the same when zombies finally break out. You know it`s inevitable.

I don`t know much about guns, but my friend is a gun nerd.

The sheer amount of facepalming I have had to do since entering this thread is incredible. I would love to enter the discussion, but I would make everyone else look like blathering fools as far as knowledge of Russo-Soviet weaponry goes.
