The Automatic AK Grenade Launcher

[@josephhelgersonjoseph6115]

If I had a nickel for every time a Russian experimental weapons project was cancelled by the collapse of the Soviet Union, I'd have two nickels.

[@munanchoinc]

With amount of experimental rifles they built. It's honestly about a dollar at this point.

[@BobThomas123]

It'll be more from their "secrets"​@@munanchoinc

[@zachfrancisco8185]

Hope this includes the object 292 which is just a T-80 with a 152mm gun and it was very promising but it was cancelled by the collapse of the USSR

[@TheArklyte]

​@@zachfrancisco8185 it wasn't very promising. Autoloader for it was supposed to be(because it promised autoloader design that would separate ammo and crew), but that one wasn't even working. The gun was too big with too many drawbacks for very little actual payback.

[@123asap6]

honestly a more practical design than most OICW type weapons Ive seen so far. Doubts about the 12.7mm grenade though. 15-20mm would have been more optimal.

[@adamgill9730]

I've lost count of how many wacky concepts there were from Russia

[@ThisJWord]

More than the MW reboot guns in default (including BOCW and Vanguard)

[@justalurker3489]

I mean it was the Cold War, the US and USSR were just doing looney toons projects back and forth.

[@anthonyriego659]

GP-30: Who are you? 80.002: I'm you but better

[@redactedgamersgd1788]

And cancelled

If i had a ruble for an oicw of every nations, i'd prob have more than 3

[@veilsidefun]

I know it's germany and russia. Who's the 3rd?

[@suzuzusu]

China I think ​@@veilsidefun

[@VergilOnPC]

@@veilsidefun China made one and South Korea

[@КГБСССР-э4т]

Australia

[@Juozapas001]

French also played with the concept which led to PIPOP (if i recall the name). If memory serves a bullpup rifle with a... single shot 40mm launcher on top, similar to austrialian AICW, and a small LCD which worked with a built-in guncam

[@222TripleJ]

it wouldve been hillarious if they develop forward the concept of the AO-63 with that 6000rpm

[@AFreakingAxeCH]

"Listen comrade" "Uh huh" "AK" "Да" "But it shoots grenades on side"

[@quanghuynguyenang8455]

12.7mm Grenade... It's just like you shoot a live battery from a double barrelled shotgun, it's not worth the effort.

[@Blind_Hawk]

This gun is metal.

[@welkingunther5417]

It's also got some wood!

[@randomexcessmemories4452]

One small correction: It was a two-barrel weapon with only one grenade launcher.

[@TheArklyte]

80.002 is a bit late to be "one of the first examples of OICW" by margin of not being one of SPIWs. It's a pity that Phantom Doctrine, which happens in 1983(and now CoD Cold War set in 1981), haven't included that many prototype firearms. They happen before much better known Abakan and OICW programs, but even some guns from those can fit in as their early prototypes go back for a decade. Late 1940's(somewhere out there is a reality where both NATO and USSR adopted bullpups so early)-early 1980's were wild.

[@deznut564]

Do the pribor-3b next is the 3 barrel bullpup ak thing

[@Jayalen]

Yes

[@eradicatormkivgaming]

Its funny that russian weapon manufacture always have failed experiment compared to HK where quality of simplicity needed Yet they still renowned for their durability to never jam

[@Watchdreamzzz]

It’s just that Soviet archives turned out to be much more open in their time and that’s why we learn about all these projects. Other countries also have a lot of prototypes or paper designs, they are just rarely written about or they have been forgotten. I heard from a Glock engineer that their designers always had a whole mountain of prototypes and their own developments on the desktop, made by strangest and craziest concepts just as research work.

[@manender1020]

12.7mm grenade are technically still bullets I think

[@appalachianwarcriminal]

irl bolters

[@UXB1000]

1:02 Hmm. Were there *actually* two grenade launchers though? All the sources in your description mentioned two barrels, but one was for the 5.45x39mm and one was for the 12.7mm. Unless the Russian translator on the website was misleading.

[@munanchoinc]

I translated it from Russian. It said "it had two barrel for a grenade launcher"

[@chibani-]

So since the bolts carrier are fixed together, each time a 5,45 bolt would fire it would automatically eject an pick a grenade even an unfired one? Or is there a mag cutoff?

[@alfredjones9771]

does it not just have one magazine feed so you can only have either grenade mag or 5.45 mag loaded at a time? :p

[@NS-45]

Uses the same trigger, alike the groza

[@alface935]

I know this Off Topic but... I just found out that Bolt Action Shotguns and Pump Action Rifles exists Yeah... I don't know what to do anymore either 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@redactedgamersgd1788]

We live in a world where the Africans actually managed to create a makeshift bolt action AK and ppl are dogging on Sledgehammer for making that a reality in MW3. So just carry on with your life knowing that our world is perfectly imperfect, weird and fucked up

[@alface935]

@@redactedgamersgd1788 True 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@tahaahmed7364]

can you do a video on AMPR's? they're basically sniper grenade launchers and I remember seeing a vid on china's military utilizing them, there was also an experimental barrett called the XM109 that was chambered in 25mm grenades

[@FightCain]

Either the grenades did no damage or things went real bad during testing

[@GHOST01LE]

Can you go ahead tell us the 366 AK caliber because tarkov has it i don't know the history of it

[@sovietoperator1385]

В России оружейное законодательство не позволяет иметь нарезное оружие, если нет стажа 5 лет обращения с гладкоствольным. Патроны 5,45x39 и 7,62x39, которыми стреляют многие АК, считаются нарезными и их нельзя купить, если у тебя нет стажа. Поэтому "Техкрим" (ТК) и "Молот-Оружие" (М) разработали комплекс "патрон-оружие", где в качестве патрона - 366ТКМ, который сделан на базе гильзы 7,62x39, и в качестве оружия - гладкоствольный карабин "Вепрь" на базе АК. Таким образом на рынке РФ появилось оружие на базе АК, которое можно приобрести, не имея стажа 5 лет

[@greycatturtle7132]

Wow

[@MentalCreatesthings04]

First also great work!!
