The successor of the famous AK-74, which has refused to purchase (early autumn this year) from the Russian Defense Ministry, will be assembled at the factory "Izhmash" and demonstrated the military in early December. Image until it secretly, according to "Izvestia" (a Russian newspaper).
"If a fighter is injured or his other hand is busy with something, he can still perform all the operations with a gun - switch safety, distort the bolt and even change the magazine," - said one of the designers. The Russian military still skeptical about the new development of Izhevsk gunsmiths.
"The mere automaton still has not been seen - is not here yet assembled. But for those designs that we have shown in the drawings, there is nothing new there - the same gas discharge tube, the same piston, so will have the same impact and the machine will also "drive" in the direction after the first shot, "- said a senior Russian Joint Military Staff.
The designers recognized that the machine can be recognized externally - will remain curved horn, and vent plunger. But the format will be a new store and a larger one - up to 60 rounds.
"With all the changes we have been able to maintain firm and reliable operation of the AK. Away from gas operated mechanism, we could not avoid, however automatics began to work much smoother, "- said the chief designer of the machine, Vladimir Zlobin.
Accuracy of fire and range of the new AK this is not called - these characteristics to be identified during the testing. However, the designers are confident that these parameters will be significantly better than previous models Kalashnikov. In particular, the new mechanism was created to meet the requirements to reduce the toss and recoil when firing.
In this design the machine heavily modified, weapons became more ergonomic - stock, staffing and safety lever are made "by hand", a new mechanism of change store "on the fly."
"Now comes the assembly of the machine, which has the working title of the AK-12, all the parts under it ready. In December, the prototype will be ready "in iron", and before the new year the company will be conducted the first firing, "- said Zlobin, -"Izvestia".
Based on the AK-12 is planned to create a whole line of automatic rifles - Short for special forces to the machine-gun set to infantry. In this now creates a few samples of AK-12 ammunition of various calibres under - the traditional 5.45, 5.56, 7.62 (all mm), and fundamentally new caliber, the number is on the "Izhmash" clarify refused, citing a Russian state secret.
Promising machine is equipped with a bayonet, grenade launcher device, bracket, for designators for all kinds of sights, including the night.
At the same AK-12 almost save a lot of its predecessor, and will weigh about 3.3 kg. The designer explained that "a sharp reduction in weight can be a negative impact on its characteristics, and in particular the accuracy of fire, will lead to an unacceptable reduction in the strength of his performance."
