[@JAZZ120277]

pablo wentscobar- Brandon isn't quite right about Korobov's account. He didn’t always make funny weapons and almost defeated Kalashnikov twice with standard assault rifles, but he was unlucky. For the first time, he simply did not have enough strength to finalize his rifle, while a whole design bureau worked for Kalashikov. And the Kalashnikov rifle was mastered in production. After that, Korobov conducted research work and found out that an uncomfortable shooter needs an optimal rate of fire - 2000 rounds per minute. And in the supine position, 500 rounds per minute are enough. And he did two rates of fire on his new rifle. But the military did not like it and they asked to remove one rate of fire. This led to a loss, although initially the Korobov rifle was better than the Kalashnikov rifle in many respects - price, accuracy of fire, ease of manufacture. In addition, Korobov experimented a lot and his mistakes, this is also a great experience for gunsmiths. And those of his successful, bold experiments, which gave a positive result, are only now beginning to be realized in the arms business.

Hey! I'm you're sub from Russia Korobov did all this because he was angry with the government of the USSR, after his competitor AK was rejected due to the fact that there was already an order for AKM. He decided to make such a stoned weapon in order to anger those who did not accept his design. Seriously, korobov was a genius in his field, in his TKB 454 he implemented a gas braking system for a free shutter with a cartridge of 7.62 * 39. in his other TKB4545 machine gun, he was able to make a return half as much as that of the AK, with a weight of 500 grams less, but also had drawbacks. In TKB 517, he corrected all the shortcomings while retaining all the advantages. After this machine was not accepted, he decided to prank his state sponsors, Sorry for my English:)

[@xthee_0nly_1x11]

Quite a few of his guns were actually said to be surprisingly functional, and even bested the AK in certain things like accuracy and controllability trials. They had no chance of being adopted as a standard infantry rifle because of things like the radical ergonomics, and more importantly, how costly they would have been to mass produce, not to mention being a nightmare to to field-strip and maintain in general. The TKB-022PM and quite a few others had a lot of complex intricate little parts inside of them like a Swiss clock, they almost rivaled the complexity of the AN-94 and the H&K G11. Too expensive to manufacture in large quantities during a wartime scenario. And the complexity would make it the worst thing for a basic grunt to use. Weapons like these would only ever find their niche with specialized forces, kinda like how the AN-94 did to a degree.

It's still stupid, especially since it makes you pull your hand all the way back to where you could just use the charging handle at that point. Not to mention so many things like the B.A.D.-Lever from Magpul or the EBRv from Phase 5 already make the bolt release ambi control, and many companies have full-ambi lowers with literally all controls on both sides of the lower where you can easily hit them with your index finger or offhand thumb.

Also, I'm pretty sure the Luty doesn't require welding. I think it was designed so it could be built with a pretty basic tool set...

Russian language police here! (Not Russian, but it’s a WIP second language). German/Герман is usually pronounced with a “hard G/Г”, like the G in “Give us the AK50”. The Е makes a YE sound, such as “YEs Brandon we know it takes a lot of R&D, but we are impatient!” So German/Герман is pronounced “Gyer-mahn” But since German is a borrowed name from Spanish, in some cases it is pronounced identical, “Her-man”, despite being spelt with a G/Г. It just depends on the individual. Sometimes (not always) the spelling is altered to reflect the pronunciation, replacing the G/Г with a H/Х, «Херман». In the case of Korobov, his name is the former “Russified” version of the name (with the hard G), not the foreign one (with an H). At least according to Russian documentaries about Korobov.
