I posted on 10 of his threads that an AK is not like VZ

He will then reply.... "Pull your head out of your ass and learn something"

I asked him if the SKS he reviewed was the same as a Mini 14.
 
kil the thread because we all know so much more than anyone else about everything it just sickens me..missing the whole damn point here people i know what cgn can be like but add instead of subtract if you have better videos jesus

The development of guns went: SVT-40 to SKS to AK, basically it's generation 1, 2, and 3.

The Czech armory went from bolt action to VZ-52 (basically Czech version of SKS), but when USSR switched to a new generation of arms (AK), Czech decided to modify their VZ-52 to make it shorter, full-auto, with larger mag, etc to comply with Warsaw Pact military requirements. However, basically, it's like SKS (VZ-52 actually) on steroids (think generation 2).

The SVT-40, SKS, and AK are not related in any way. While the SVT-40 and SKS have similar short-stroke gas operation and tilting bolt lockup, the SKS is, if anything, descended from the PTRS-41 anti-tank rifle. The AK is something completely different; it has a long stroke gas piston and rotating bolt.

Likewise, the Vz. 52 is not related to the SKS, either. It has an unusual annular short-stroke gas piston housed in a sleeve around the barrel and the bolt tilts at the front to provide lockup.

The Vz. 58 is another completely different design, using a short-stroke gas piston and a tilting locking piece that is separate from the bolt. The locking piece is similar to that of a Walther P38.

Both Czechoslovakia and the USSR took similar approaches to designing intermediate powered rifles in the sense that they both first adopted a semi-automatic carbine with a traditional layout before moving on to a true assault rifle.

Unlike other former Warsaw Pact countries, the Czechs have always had an arms industry that produced its own designs, rather than copies of the Soviet ones. Claiming that an AK and a Vz. 58 are related is like saying the MP5 is a variant of of an MP40.
