Russian new rifle AK-2 assault rifle
AK-2 assault rifle is one of the famous AK gun series in Russia, which is being produced in batches and actively exported to other countries. The AK2 assault rifle is improved on the basis of AK74M, but there are many differences compared with AK74M, not only the weight is 5 grams more than AK74M, reaching 3.8 grams.
in addition, a large-capacity magazine is designed on the AK2, which is twice as much as the previous AK74M. It is precisely because of this that the weight will increase. In addition, it is equipped with a slide rail for fixing the sight, flashlight and laser target indicator, which makes this AK2 more complete.
In 216, the new product AK15 launched in Russia, which is intended to replace the AK13 assault rifle, has an advantage in launching speed, with 7 rounds per minute, which is 5 rounds faster than the AK74M, not to mention the AK13. Because AK15 is equipped with 7.62× 39mm ammunition, it has an advantage in penetration and power.
the AK2, like the AK15, uses 7.62× 39mm ammunition, and the AK2 also has strong penetration. They have similarities not only in ammunition, but also in other aspects. For example, picatinny rail used in the AK2 used this design in the previous AK1, but this time it was upgraded.
It used to be on the wood guard, but now it is on the case cover. At this point, like AK15, AK15 still uses the picatinny rail. The advantage of using this one is that it has extremely strong reliability and durability, and it can be equipped with various accessories at will, which increases the use function of machine guns.
There are similarities between AK2 and AK15 in the design of rifle appearance conditions. For example, AK15 did not adopt the fixed length of the previous rifle, but changed it into a folding stock, while AK2 adopted a telescopic stock, which is similar. This unique design is a good thing for the soldiers who use it, which is very convenient and conforms to their actual situation.
Generally speaking, AK2 has many similarities with AK15, no matter from the shape design or the built-in processing, but for many people, AK2 is still not satisfied, especially for the internal personnel of the Russian army, the accuracy has not reached the ideal goal, the design structure has not been greatly innovated, and the appearance is even uglier because of the heavier volume caused by the addition of accessories.
this westernized AK-2 assault rifle has many shadows of other rifles, all of which are optimized and innovated in various parts, and Kalashnikov, the designer of this AK-2, has successively won the title of socialist labor hero.
He won the Stalin Prize once, and the automatic rifle series, RPK light machine gun series and PK general machine gun series used by the Russian army are all his classic masterpieces, and AK2 is one of them.
