![]() If you start unloading AK magazines on full auto as fast as you can replace the magazine bad things will happen well before the 200 mark. would be the MOLOT VEPR, DDI and Bulgarian Arsenal guns. Per your observations, the very best AK’s available here in the U.S. No other rifle I can think of would be amenable to such a basic yet effective field solution to overheating damage and just keep right on going. He could probably have kept going from that point on with even more extended stress testing and the rifle would have kept on functioning, but I believe he ran out of ammunition. What was amazing was that Eric simply looked along the barrel to figure out which way the gas tube was bent, then hit the barrel against the shooting bench to straighten out the gas tube, after which he proved the point by dumping a full 75-round drum on full-auto through the VEPR without a hiccup. Instead, the charging handle had to be forced back to free up the gas piston because it was sticking in the gas tube, which had warped slightly from all that accumulated heat. BP’s link ( )is also to Iraqveteran88’s website, but for a follow-up test called “Ultimate AK Meltdown : Reloaded” where he tested a high-end AK, namely a Russian MOLOT VEPR that dominated all other previous such tests he had done on any type of rifle.Īt the end of the test, contrary to BP’s previous comment, the barrel was NOT bent. You were looking at the first destruction test posted by Eric of Iraqveteran88 of a standard, low-end Romanian WASR-10. These weapons have become extremely prolific, and can be found in virtually any significant international conflict zone to this day. Folding stocked types were also made, both underfolding (Type 56-1) and side folding (Type 56-2). The standard fixed-stock rifles like this one were fitted with under-folding spike bayonets. China would manufacture tens of millions of AK rifles, both of this milled receiver type (the Type 3 style) and the later stamped AKM pattern. The Chinese received the technical package for the AK (and also the SKS, among other weapons) from the Soviet Union in the 1950s, as part of the USSR’s policy of providing military and technical aid to other nations sympathetic to the Communist cause (although a rift would grow between the USSR and China later). This particular one was captured by a US soldier in the Vietnam War, who brought it back and registered it, making it a fully transferrable gun. One of the most common types of AK rifle in existence today is the Chinese Type 56 in its several variations, although very few of those rifles are in the United States in authentic full-auto form. ![]()
