Have Russia fixed theirs AK12 or its still sucks? Do Russians soldiers still prefers the oldies AK74Ms?
>>64680347>Have Russia fixed theirs AK12Yes, by changing it towards the original proto rejected by boomer generals in the peacetime. >Do Russians soldiers still prefers the oldies AK74MsSome do, if only out of sense of familiarity and\or having a bag of Zenitco stuff to deck in out in. Aftermarket for the 12 is still a bit sparse, esp. with the changes to the grip\FCS and muzzle device in recent revisions.Also, we now have a heavy(-ish) barrel assault shorty for some sweaty balls-to-crack CQB.
>>64680434Would you say that the current version of AK12 is meanginful superior to AK74M or is just slight more light? Do Russians soldiers would prefer to use captured western rifles like HK416, UAR 15 etc if they had access to its ammo?
>>64680347Its okay. Now that they reverted the burst to a regular 74 trigger, the reliability issues have mostly evaporated; and the newer magpul style furniture is much tougher than the original buffer tube shit. 74s are preferred because of the aftermarket and don't have the quality stigma of the ak12, but with the native ability to mount optics and lights, the actual necessity of the aftermarket is way diminished; which could be said to be the whole point of the gun. The mags are excellent, seriously sought after even by guys who otherwise hate the gun. There will always be those who refuse to accept it, simply because the 74 didn't have these teething problems (at least nobody is old enough to remember), but on the whole its a decent if unambitious upgrade.>>64680469generally no, but depend on who they are. a lot of times guys capture a gun with a thermal, and they have no means to use it on their own gun; so it makes sense to just keep using the gun it came on while ammo lasts. it also cant be discounted that its a whole generation of gamers, who think M4s and 416s are cool and just appreciate them as a trophy.
>>64680347does the top cover hold zero now or not yet
