>nearly 80 years>barely any changesHow did they get it so right?
>>64766303It's not perfect, but it's good enough, and it's been around long enough that any major flaws got sorted out
>>64766303they didn't. ruslims are just to poor and stupid to improve upon it
>>64766303they grabbed an STG-44 and changed it up enough to not get in trouble. STG was better. Charging handle was on the proper side and the mags had a proper magwell. And the release button was on the proper side of the magwell.
At least use a real image instead of AIshit if you're going to make a thread...
AI slop getting good
>>64766320is that why is says 62x39 and not 7.62x39?Ai is gonna get people killed by incompetence lmao
>>64766303>62mm>AK103 was "5.45x39mm"Whoever typed up the text is too niggery.https://en.kalashnikovgroup.ru/catalog/boevoe-strelkovoe-oruzhie/avtomaty/avtomat-kalashnikova-ak103
>>64766303It is really still cheaper to do sheet metal over cast in this day and age? They should be on par given the prices right?
>>64766303As my 8th grade science teacher put it, evolution is very lazy, it will never craft the perfect animal but just something that will survive in the current environment
>>64766303The AK74 was a giant fuck up. By the 70s it was pretty clear that firearms design needs were changing and things like having a loose top cover would be prohibitive to future proofing your firearms for optics and the like. The side rail was a fine cope in the 50s and 60s, but by the 70s everyone knew the writing was on the wall. After that it was just muddling along. Kalashnikov was a mechanical genius, undoubtedly, but his AK74 was unambitious and the USSR decided to save a dime today when it would cost themselves a dollar in the future and fucked themselves for 50 years on a gun that couldn't be modernized properly.
>>64766347It is cheaper when you have a factory the size of a city to make the guns. It took the Soviets over a decade to get it right, and once they did, they kept the system going forever.
>>64766330It's AI slop. Those guns are hideous abominations as well... but I guess that the iPhone posters don't even spot such things these days.
>>64766546genuine question, why cant they just "Modernize" by adding rails to furniture and dust cover?(fuck captcha)
