Shooting the AK-12

Me shooting the Kalashnikov AK-12 assault rifle in full-auto and 2-round bursts, during Russian Army 2015 expo.
Стрельба из АК-12 автоматическим огнем и очередями с отсечкой по 2 выстрела во время выставки Армия-2015

[@nosatisfaction2278]

Omg that 2 round burst sounds amazing 😎

[@somecoder3054]

Hi Max, Got a copy of your book 'Assault Rifle'. I hope one day you can release a new addition with a lot of new rifles, including the AK12 revisions. Best, A fan

[@МаксНикольский-ы4о]

автоматической стрельбы замечено не было

[@MatoVuc]

You got to shoot the proto-type, you lucky person. How does it compare to the production version?

[@worldsystem7874]

АК-12 Скорострельность

[@ВасилийСтечкин-д7г]

Почему этот прототип не приняли на вооружение? Взяли АК-74, сделали годный тюнинг и по какому то "недоразумению" назвали АК-12

[@CryHep]

По тому что рынок.

[@alliwantisfinancialstabili7414]

I'm curious, what does the AK-12 bring to the table? What kind of upgrades does the AK-12 have over the AK-74?

[@Ilost11]

It has a free floated barrel, polymer handguard with rails for accessories like lights and lasers, I think in this variation there are diopter iron sights (however the standard one just has a lot longer of a sight radius), I believe an adjustable gas block, a new stock, a new muzzle device and a rail on the top cover for modern optics. In addition to a bunch of other small things I am forgetting to include.

по 2 патрона заебатый способ

[@старшийсержант-л7ш]

does the newest version have a 2 round or 3 round burst

[@levarchknight9830]

+Alexander Lerke Yes, a 2 round burst

The real deal AK12

[@mrsmart]

Ну и как впечатления?

[@mpopenker]

Ruslan Myagkov позитивные впечатления

[@ФилиппПаз]

Max Popenker А сбалансированную автоматику пробовал? (ак 107, ак 15, аек 731) Потому как на видео видно что все-таки уводит.

[@ИльяБесфамильный-я8т]

[@marklee1194]

Looks like a really nice weapon.

[@ANANHITECH]

AK 12 earlier version really good for its ergonomic and ambidextrous design as compare of new classical based AK 12 which is shown in recent Kalashnikov concern "expo 2016" at Moscow ;; they told to press that the ' earlier version' had a problem while fire in auto mode ;; i think that new ambidextrous reciprocating charging handle was the main reason for it s malfunction. so better make.. this cancelled prototype with a little modification as non reciprocating ambidextrous charging handle ( Z shaped liver) use of modern composite materials & a Dragunov based high precision (3lugs) bolt-chamber locking system along with reliable ak Long strock gas piston carrier platform are the best choice for future kalashnikov concern new coming products.

[@valentinesjules5001]

Same guy red hats max need yoyr your help ask for an id play chris brown

[@ilgiztamindarov952]

Максим, а почему автомат не встал на ствольную задержку? Или вы не опорожнили весь магазин полностью? :) Или использовали старый - немодифицированный магазин от АК?

[@MrOhiousa]

the hardest part to replicate that I can tell from a standard ak74 would be the dust cover locking lever as well as the safety selector. since the import ban I am really hoping we start seeing some after market parts to make our ak74m variants look and function more like the ak 12 if we choose to do so

[@АндрейАндрей-д6б]

Что за прицел??? Кто нить напишите пжлста!!!!!!

[@Mrboombastic266]

It would be amazing to see a full disassembly video

[@Phenixtri]

***** indeed tho i doubt they would show off their latest toy in such a manner :P tho i do wonder if it retains the original Kalashnikov platforms brilliant simplicity and reliability 0_o If for those very reasons that great albeit complicated rifles like the AN-94 and AEK-971 were dropped in army trials :/

[@nehcrum]

Phenixtri The AN-94 wasn't really dropped, it's in use by special forces. It was just considered too expensive and complicated for general issue to standard rifle infantry. And aren't the trials for the AEK-971 still on-going? I thought it was still undecided between the AEK-971 and AK-12, and both have been issued for large scale field trials?

[@Phenixtri]

yea they are both undergoing the ratnik trials if i remember correctly. Nehcrum

[@Mrboombastic266]

Phenixtri For what I know they both have been accepted for large scale field trials

[@8166PC1]

Nehcrum It would be safe to say the Russian military has mostly shelved the AN-94. Nearly all the Russian SF used customized AK-74"s,AK-103's,AK-104's, and AK-105's.

wooiioooooooiiiiiiooioow

[@oguzhanbilgin1966]

Too bad they ditched this version :(

[@ITmage]

They didnt...

[@oguzhanbilgin1966]

ITmage Care to elaborate pls?

[@somemanwhoateapuertoricanl7859]

The Avid Gamer so what??? Are we going to give another name for the AK-200 version, since the current AK-12 is the AK-400 version???

[@somemanwhoateapuertoricanl7859]

The Avid Gamer all that i can tell is that they ditched the AK-200 version, which has a more classic shape than the cureent one

[@WildZombie17]

Now the AK12 is update of AK-74 but when is her use? or now is official her release? Теперь AK12 является обновление АК- 74 , но при ее использовании ? или в настоящее время является официальным ее освобождение ?

[@TheYarik87]

+Tx_Wild Автомат находится на доработке. Также на вооружение принят другой автомат - А545 (современный АЕК).

[@z-trip5457]

I dont speak russian(excuse me) The AK-12 has been in testing but is likely to lose from the AEK.

[@TheYarik87]

baff shogun A-545 is much better than the AK-12. But it is difficult and expensive to manufacture.

[@ИльяБесфамильный-я8т]

+YarikLP 545 пойдет только в спец подразделения. для полевых условий и рядовых солдат это не лучшее оружие из за надежности

Americans love this rifle

[@Justin_GFM]

Hell yeah, just like other countries like our AR-15 style rifles. Two great inventions

[@z-trip5457]

+The Arcenal If im really honest, i like the way the AR's look and the reloading is comfortable to do, but its constant ask for maintainence bothers me.

[@krisguntner4805]

+baff shogun The maintenance issue is exaggerated,go look at the "Inrange tv"youtube channel and watch their mud test's for the ak and ar.

[@jessesimmons9238]

I Love the AK-12 its my favorite if this was sold in the US I would own it In a heartbeat.

[@schaelakhan]

I saw a Russian video that showed the AK-12, on full auto blasting six or more steel targets. The shooter had no problems keeping the weapon on target. If this isn't available to the public, I've seen some Top American made AK-74, and AK-47s on the market.

[@ParaBellum78]

ни о чем. дизлайк

[@ElCap1van]

Celovecekkkkk hi

[@TheYarik87]

Интересно, как она в сравнении с современными западными образцами. Да и вопрос о качестве стали все еще открыт.

[@eleks12]

Does the rifle live up to the hype?

[@_j.v.st._7367]

Absolutly not. Its just a finally acceptable ak in 5.45x39. Nothing else, completly overhyped for no reason.

[@ITmage]

" Its just a finally acceptable ak in 5.45x39." - And yet you are not even aware it exists in 5 calibers and not only 5,45. Expert, you can notice on the first sight.

[@_j.v.st._7367]

ITmage Still not worth to adopt at all. And technically outdated since 3 decades.

[@KarnikBadvaganyan]

whats new about his ak ?

[@Aikaramba12]

Less recoil and a lot more

[@z-trip5457]

more modular, rail systems, good use of modern materials, and above all ambidextrous charging handle. (i left some out i dont know all of them)

[@_j.v.st._7367]

Nothing, just an acceptable Ak in 5.45x39. Nothing special otherwise. And completly overhyped for no reason at all.

[@ITmage]

In field barrel and caliber swapping, telescopic modular stock in line with the sights, stock latch which works both ways, ambidextrous cocking handle, integral Picantini rail on the reciever, ambidextrous fire selector... 4 more integral rails... list goes on. 70 major improvements over AK-74M were introduced.

[@Люмэн-о5ф]

Это окончательный вариант оружия?

[@opamuller4237]

Ципленок Тайкус на 20.06.15 - да

[@Люмэн-о5ф]

Opa Muller у прошлой модели приклад мне больше понравился.

[@TheYarik87]

+Ципленок Тайкус еще допиливают.

[@deadlylion9038]

HK417 still be the best

[@_j.v.st._7367]

The Hk417 is bullshit CTSAS in 6.5 CT EPR Even if the Steyr ACR construction would be a 1000times better for it to use.
