Ak-107

[stilty]

Not that we'll ever get to see one of these in Canada, but Wow!

The light recoil, makes it look like he's shooting blanks.

That is SWEET

No recoil full auto does end the stopping power debate. The AK-107 can sit beside my AA-12 in my underground cache.

The gas in the gas tube goes forward and backwards, 2 gas pistons going in opposite directions. Not over-complicated really.

There's talk of civilian models. I'd be interested to know if the system is different enough from a stock AK to not be an automatic prohib.

Civilian model is apparantly already out:

Whether its not an AK47 variant or not, who knows, but I'd buy one!

Wow

Cool rifle. The cartridge (5.45x39mm) sounds interesting too, just looked it up on Wikipedia.

AK47 round for normal ones. We don't really have anything chambered for it here

If they market it as an AEK 971 semi, it might clear the prohib zone...but if they go by the principle of operation, it has not changed much from an AK, except for the weight on the top.

 

[C18cz858]

I want one

 

[warrenlikesboats]

Well.... time for NATO to upgrade XD How could an AR compete with that.

 

[j2kool]

holy crap .... almost no recoil ...wow

 

[Innercity]

That AK needs some Wood.

Fortunately i just got some....

The Russians are going to kick our asses if we don't update the C8

So fancy!

Although apparently this system does increase your weight and change your balance.

Tactical Obesity. Jowl weld instead of cheek weld. Goatees are a side effect. Mostly limited to the USA.

I wonder why this counterbalance system hasn't seen more widespread adoption if it was invented 40 years ago.

 

[midnightpossum]

Very cool.. will have to try that out in Vegas.

Ak-107 is not the same rifle with AEK-971.

The 107 is an Izmash designed Ak, with the recoil balanced like in the AEK-971. The 971 is complete different rifle design, from the Ak and is designed and built by Degtyarev plant. That's the company that designed the DP-28 mg PPSh.

I don't see how Izmash could export the balanced AK107 as a product of a completely different company. The chances of that flying with our retarded RCMP lab is about zero.

THe newest version of the AEK-971, on the other hand, would be worth a try. It's deferent enough from AK to have a chance:
