The two stage trigger system reminds me of something similar I did when modifying a Nerf gun, however I made it half-pull for full auto, full-pull for semi. As long as the trigger pull isn't too long or heavy, I honestly think this is better, as you need more control for full auto but you can just stop thinking and apply full pressure for a single shot. I did this because it was a conversion from full auto only, I installed a trigger disconnector based on an old Berretta pistol that kicked in at the end of travel. I also included a very simple selector switch that blocked the full trigger travel, returning full auto only function.

The most convenient/practical way to use that, is to fill it with blanks and use it as a deadly vibrator-needle-puncher that kills both ways... so you hope that two unaware enemies are really close to each other and you place the gun in the middle. But they need to be really close to each other...

It sounds like a similar goal U.S. advisors had in mind when handing allied Iraqi militia groups a few thousand of our old M16A2 assault rifles, during the early 2000's: U.S. Army Officer: *Clunks a couple of bags of M16 rifles onto the floor and hands over a cart ammunition boxes* "Here you go. Basic cleaning kits will work with them, too. If you encounter a feed jam, and they will jam, just pull that little thing at the back of the breech until the round is properly chambered." Militia Leader: *Practices the motions with one, inserts an empty magazine and nods...then blinks in thought* "Hold on. What if these rifles end up in the hands of hostile forces? You know that will happen eventually." U.S. Army Officer: *Busts out laughing* "Yes, that's why we aren't handing out manuals with them. Not to worry, my friend."

It's very nice gun to shoot. All "legends" about how dangerous this weapons is, are completely untrue. The only problem was shooting in a gas mask. I shoot it often and never hit my face. I don't know what people need to do with their heads to do it. The man who was hit the glasses here, must have an extremely strange shooting position. I often shoot in full auto and I completely do not understand why you could not shoot accurately. At a distance of 20 meters, a man-sized target has no chance of survival. This is a weapon to defend yourself , for tank crews etc. RAK was designed to shoot no further than 20-30 meters.

[@shawnr771]

Thank you for sharing your personal experience.

[@BeingFireRetardant]

I agree, thank You for commenting. Everyone else watched a video and freaked out. I imagine, like every gun, from Wheelock to Grenade Launcher to M2 .50, that training and time on the weapon exponentially increases your hit probability. My friends and I run three shot strings from .44 Mag wheelguns with superb accuracy. Simply because it is possible once you know how to ride the recoil. Anything can be done with practice. The Rak is not junk. It's a compact mag dump close range hurricane, as intended. Do the same with a G18, B93, or Stechkin? Not even close...

PM-63 was used in the Polish Army by drivers for self-defense (truck drivers, tanks), a lot of myths arose because of not using it properly .... was provided for the driver to be able to drive, shoot and reload with the other hand while driving

@@wojtekadalberth2311 I wrote about the army, I served in the Polish army in the early 90s, we had her as drivers, we also had AKMs, I have many friends from those years from the 6th parachute division and none of them had RAK , they had akms too. It was also used by the crew of cutters in sapper battalions. I wrote for whom it was made, not who used it later.

[@wojtekadalberth2311]

@@Pawbrzeg Spierajmy się w naszym języku. 6 PDPD została rozformowana w 1986 r., tak więc w latach 90-tych jej nie było. Na wyposażeniu tej jednostki BYŁY PM-63. Tak samo w 59 Kompanii Specjalnej i 62 Kompanii Specjalnej. Twoje stwierdzenie, że nikt w 6PDPD nie miał RAKa, to oczywiście nieprawda. Być może twoi znajomi nie mieli raka na wyposażeniu, ale wielu żołnierzy je miało. Na pewno były w magazynach jednostki. Stwierdzenie, że broń tę stworzono wyłącznie dla kierowców również nie polega na prawdzie. Potrzebowano wtedy konkretnego rodzaju broni, która wypełniała lukę pomiędzy karabinkami i PM PPS a pistoletem. I to się udało, o czym świadczy mnogość użytkowników w Polsce, Europie, Ameryce Północnej i Azji. Nie wspominając o chłopakach z Palestyny i Iranu. Co do narosłych wokół RAKa mitów o ich rzekomym niebezpieczeństwie dla użytkowników, mogę napisać, że za moich czasów nie spotkałem z wypadkiem spowodowanym używaniem RAKa. Legendy o podbiciu oka zamkiem, niekontrolowanym oddaniem strzału w kaburze przy zeskoku z pojazdu, odstrzeleniu sobie palca dłoni podtrzymującej, czy wyjątkowej niecelności i wysokim rozrzucie, oczywiście krążyły wśród użytkowników, ale poparcia w faktach nie znalazłem. Niestety, broń palna jest dla ludzi ogarniętych. Założenia konstrukcyjne PM-63 powstały pod koniec lat 50-tych. Opisywanie tej broni bez uwzględnienia kontekstu czasowo-przestrzennego w momencie jej powstania nie jest właściwe. W tamtym czasie RAK był unikatową konstrukcją. I moim skromnym zdaniem, pozostaje taka do dziś. Na zagranicznych kolekcjonerach , znawcach i posiadaczach broni zawsze robi duże wrażenie. Na zakończenie dodam, że często strzelam z RAKa, gdyż niezmiennie wywołuje to u mnie uśmiech na twarzy.

[@Pawbrzeg]
