The PDW that created the AKS-74U

[@munanchoinc]

The AO-46 was allegedly actually chambered in 5.6x39MM according to TFB. However all of my other sources (including direct Russian Translations and TFB Themselves) mention it being chambered in 5.45x39mm (The AK-74 and AKS74U was interestingly enough developed concurrently at the time). As a result I don't know for certain which cartridge it actually used. So instead I chose the most popular cartridge featured in almost every article about the weapon i found which was the 5.45x39mm one.

[@WynnofThule]

5.45 and 5.6 are the same thing. 5.6 is the bullet diameter while 5.45 is the land diameter in the rifling.

[@mapleloonie3888]

5.6 was the testing era name for 5.45 last I remember

[@pajamapantsjack5874]

Something about using the mag as the grip on guns has always intrigued me. It’s only ever stuck with the welrod and it’s contemporaries, everything else has been experimental. and we are at a point in history where we know we don’t want to do that for a lot of reasons, still it’s a cool aesthetic

[@sabresergal8989]

Holding a gun by its magazine will increase the chances of the weapon becoming jammed

[@964CarreraRS]

The entire point of the Welrod having a "mag as a grip" was so that it was concealable. It's a bad idea otherwise.

[@housecatonfire3038]

The Welrod was single action so it worked just fine but with this the recoil would jostle the magazine around because it isn't fixed which would lead to increased jamming like sabre said.

To be honest, Sledgehammer games would add that PDW. Well, I see it happening. Lmao.

It looks fine for Cold War.

Aks74u is an smg according to BOCW

I like how you brought up the XM177 in the development of the AKS-74U, despite the development being heavily shrouded by the iron curtain, it is without a doubt that the AKSU got a lot of inspiration from it

[@beardedvulturegaming]

XM177 was used in Vietnam, of course Soviet engineers would know about it

Nustvhave been a pain to reload the way that magazine came off.

[@duonglethai8701]

Play Apocalypse Rising 2, the game has that gun although the stats are modified a bit.

[@kemoni221]

I saw that grip-magazine AK once and thought it was just a meme, I didn't know it had such an impact on the soviet weapon design. Interesting stuff, although I had to rewind oftenly cause I read too slow 💀

[@munanchoinc]

I apologize for the fast transitions but I intended the videos to be informative in the shortest amount of time.

[@eggegg8526]

Love how in Russia, most of the guns are just the AK-47 but built slightly different

[@mobius7927]

I was just thinking that, the ak74u, the as val, dragunov, saiga, pp19, the hundred ak variants

[@duonglethai8701]

Wait so 5.45x39 already existed in 1969? Why did it take them 5 yeaea to make the ak-74? And didn't know that aks-74u was mihajl kalashnikov's project lol, thought that someone else designed it like the ak-12

[@munanchoinc]

It took them several years before they started the competition.
