>>AK-47

so is there any logic or reasoning behind the numbers and letters when it comes to gunz
>>
Sorta but not really
>.357 magnum
>can put a .38 special in there
>but not a .380auto
they're really out there just making shit up man
>>
Theres zero consistency, but generally yes. The number will either indicate an internal index by either the nation (M16 is the 16th rifle adopted into US inventory, M4 is the 4th carbine, etc) or manufacturer (there used to be a rhyme and reason to colts internal model numbers, with 7 indicating an A2 upper and a 9 indicating a flat top upper, and the number following indicating barrel length; but it got discarded with the LE line); or the year of adoption/production, i.e. Type 56 or M1903.

there you go
different manufacturers/militaries/etc tend to use different systems with little to no consistency between them, but systems generally do exist

Most countries have naming conventions within their militaries that are somewhat systematic if not terribly helpful. Unfortunately, most countries have a bespoke system and many militaries changed or updated their conventions post WWII or upon joining the Pact or NATO. So there's almost no consistency across time and space.

Even less helpful, the same basic design often goes by many different names different countries. For example the FAL is called:
>L1A1 - UK and others
>C1 - Canada
>G1 - Germany
>StG58 - Austria

How she's never gotten raped is beyond anyone's comprehension.

We used to have really retarded system that didn't make any sense because we are bunch of autistic faggots and we will surely remember all the stuff. We ultimately did but it's a pain in the ass.
>Vzor 58 - assault rifle
>Vzor 59 - universal machine gun
>Vzor 60 - camo type
>Vzor 61 - submachine gun
>Vzor 62 - standard issue winter boots
>Vzor 63 - standard issue uniform
And the list goes on.

>AK-47
Not a real thing. I think you mean AK or AKM? Later the AK-74 was a thing though.
>>
>>65032248
I like that you took one of the most logical system possible
>AK-47
vtomat Kalašnikova skladnoj obrazca
>AKM
Avtomát Kalášnikova modernizírovannyj
>AK-74
Avtomat Kalaschnikowa obrasza 1974 goda
etc etc
Its literally just "Avtomat Kalaschnikowa" [Year]
And the variants are
"Avtomat Kalaschnikow" [Folding Stock] [Mount] [Year]

whats not to understand

>>65032248
Pretty much every ak47 youll see today is actually an AKM and not an ak47

Very nice, now let's see glocks model system

Still not a real thing outside of literal prototypes, the actual gun is just AK.
