“On the basis of these comments, a group of comments and proposals on the actual operation of this type of weapon is being formed,” Sergey Urzhumtsev, chief designer of the Kalashnikov concern, told TASS.
The machine removed the two-shot chopping mode, as it did not lead to a significant increase in efficiency, but it did complicate the design.
After modernization, the AK-12 provides for the possibility of installing two-way control of firing modes and an adjustable buttock. Other changes are related to the comfort and simplification of the operation of the machine.
Note that the sailors of the marine brigade of the Black Sea Fleet consider the AK-12 to be the best example of an assault rifle.
– The assault rifle has a front end with Picatinny rails, on which you can attach optical sights, a flashlight, a thermal imager, and a muzzle brake compensator that minimizes muzzle launch and reduces recoil, while reducing the flash of a shot. A folding and adjustable stock makes it possible to customize the weapon personally, – said the fighter with the call sign “Dima”.
