Re: AK-107
Why the AK-107 never became a Russian service weapon
This rifle could have replaced the AK-12 used by the Russian army. Today, it merely sits collecting dust somewhere in the Kalashnikov Concern’s vaults.
In the early 2010s, Kalashnikov released the ultra-precise AK-107, which should have become the main weapon of the ‘Ratnik’ weapons package for the Russian Armed Forces for decades to come. However, despite all its advantages, the rifle did not win the army’s tender. What happened?
The AK-107’s main features
The key features of the AK-107 machine gun is its balanced automatics. The construction allows for the mounting of not one, but two gas pistons, which move in opposite directions. In this way, the second pison compensates for the pulse of the first that acts upon the shutter. The weapon’s recoil is slightly reduced thanks to this.
“The balanced automatics have increased accuracy by 20 percent, compared with the AK-74M, which was the service weapon at the time. These 20 percent are a significant marker, for they allow a trained user to shoot with greater precision from an unstable position,” Vadim Kozyulin, Professor at the Academy of Military Sciences, told Russia Beyond.
