I Have This Old Gun - Daewoo K2 Rifle

[@whiplash8277]

I had a K2 back in the 1980's and loved it. I sold it to finance other weapons and so wish I had not sold it. It was an outstanding weapon.

[@themonolithian]

Cool series. I appreciate you guys making these videos

[@FacultyFan]

I have a K2 and freaking love it!!!! I wish Daewoo was still around, but I keep my eye open for their guns!

[@MEGR7]

Does it take Magpul magazines?

[@rustys.1070]

​@@MEGR7yes

[@talih3610]

In Korea, it is called the K2 rifle. When I was in the military, I remember using the K2 (DR200) ​​rifle in the front and the M16A1 rifle as a personal weapon in the rear.

[@playercembalo8248]

Reliable, simple and easy to aim. You can say it could be very practical in the battlefield.

[@THEH2OMAN]

The AR100 / K2 is one of my favorite rifles stored in my safe. I changed the muzzle device for suppressor use. Excellent semi-auto rifle.

[@billybelk1831]

I had a thumb hold version of this weapon. The side was a like an m16 , the inside was like an ak47. the finish was excellent. I wish i had not sold it but it was a fine weapon.

Fun fact : Daewoo make great washing machines, made cars licensed and assisted by GM and their 9mm K5 handgun is particularly nice to shoot...

[@miduv82]

When you spend money to update your AR to a piston gas system you're basically making this rifle. More reliable and better with suppressors.

[@tuck234]

K2 is a bit more involved than "update your AR to a piston gas system." I'd say it's probably like the US Military's SCAR program. Taking every aspect of known modern firearms and combining them together. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJuoeX6AhZWNptk

[@purcorean]

the term 'donated' is wrong. S korea had to pay for those American made rifles. that's one of many reasons they decided to develop their own gun.

[@Hadeshands]

No, weapons were donated initially and only after the Vietnam war did Korea start license manufacturing the m16. Before that basically all weapons were donated, even the m16s given to Korea during the Vietnam war.

[@NgJackal1990]

I hope PSA would make a clone of this rifle.

[@olmangarcia943]

The Daewoo and T65 took the AR-15 and made it better. Argue all you want but a long stroke piston that's enclosed like an AR is going to be almost bomb proof

[@ZucIsCuk]

Guy looked uncomfortable shooting that rifle.

[@smtx2117]

Thank you! I was wondering if I was the only one to notice! Even my 5 year old cousin has better posture and recoil management than this guy...

[@cvn7069]

Nah

[@gewamser]

An excellent rifle!!

Development of the next generation '6.8mm Korean rifle' exceeding the US military M16 The development of the next-generation 6.8mm Korean rifle will be promoted, surpassing the 5.56mm K-2 rifle developed in Korea based on the M16 rifle of the US military. S&T Motive, the nation's largest small-caliber firearm manufacturer, which manufactures K-1 submachine guns and K-2 rifles, announced on Tuesday that it had a "kick-off" meeting with Poongsan, the nation's largest ammunition maker, for the development of the next generation 6.8mm Korean rifle.

[@bonk2910]

doesn't make sense for korea to get the 6.8mm rifle when the 556 is more than enough for countering chinese and NK aggression. It'll just be a huge waste of money that could be spent on things that matter.

[@Hadeshands]

Nothings decided until US figures out which casing type for the 6.8 will be.

[@aerithofmyore]

@@bonk2910 6.8 recoil is too heavy anyways. South Korean soldiers build are a little bit smaller so it will be a nightmare for the conscripts to control. 5.56 is good and will stay in use until probably about 2050 or something similliar

[@doomtomb3]

Piston > DI operated

[@scottbuckley6578]

There excavators are sub par

ar+ak+folding+bayonet wow

[@stardog62]

I wish we could have these riffles now. I understand that it was because of an arbitrary decision by George Bush Sr. that we can't.
