      AK-47s are also able to fire underwater and full of sand. Some would claim that they also fire under sand and full of water, but that sounds like a western lie. Such conditions only exist while taking fire in the rain and within a foxhole/on the ground, a common thing for cowardly, NATO troops. Russians have no need of cover! The only time sand and water may approach a russian weapon is when our Babushka rises from the grave and pours vodka down our throats!

    During my basic training I graduated my rifleman specialization with the AKM. What a lovely rifle! Very accurate up to 300m, but after that it becomes kinda difficult due to the recoil and slow round. However, it feels very good to shoot it, like you can tell it was made for war, not for piercing paper. After tranisition to 5,56 platform it felt like having a toy. It was much easier to handle the 5,56 when you are already good with the AKM.

I can hit with 7,62 as good as with 5.56, the max range if it comes to precision is a bit higher for 5.56 but in generell that would not matter in a fight because fights with assaultrifles are normally at max. ranges of 100-200 yards, most of the time under 100 yards, so the slightly higher range of the 5.56 does not really matter, except you are on the range and want a bit more range to shoot, but if you want that you are better of with a different calibre.

The 62 grain out of a 16" has on average, 300fps less velocity than it's 20" counterpart. Since energy is a factor of velocity squared, the 20" delivers more punch, capable of fraging the projectile at 300 meters whereas the 16" is at its frag limits at just over 200. Most people have difficulty hitting targets beyond 200 so it's something true marksmen care about and not your average shooter.

    Tac medic here: since you mentioned it and didn’t expand I thought I would 🤷🏻‍♂️. Tension pneumothorax, commonly known as collapsed lung is a form of obstructive shock when air gathers in the pleural cavity and builds pressure against the lung, which can prevent expansion of the lung. As the pressure builds more it will apply pressure the heart and cause a shift in the mediastinum, kinking the vena cava and dropping the preload of the heart, which will eventually prevent the next heart beat and the casualty will die if not recognized and treated rapidly. Commonly caused by penetrating or blunt force trauma to the chest cavity. Recognition: blunt force or penetrating trauma to the chest, diminished or absent lung sounds on the affected side, progressive shortness of breath, altered mental status, tracheal deviation, unequal chest rise and fall, decreased spo2. Treatment: seal penetrating trauma with chest seals (check for and seal exit wound), needle decompression at the 2nd intercostal space mid clavicular or 5th intercostal space mid axillary, finger thoracostomy, chest tube.

Even something like the ACOG is a huge benefit to have for the average line unit. Unfortunately the AKs layout doesn't lend itself to upgrades or modular systems the same way the M4 and M16 do. Also the gas piston is going to be at a bit of a disadvantage for accuracy simply because the amount of mass moving back and forth. The Russians also never put a lot of r&d into better barrels.

    I read a book by an Army surgeon in Vietnam, talking specifically about the wounds he treated by different calibers. He pointed out the 5.56 didn't do much damage, UNLESS it hit something hard, like bone or equipment. At that point it became devastating. I attended an autopsy where a guy was shot by one of our officers (after he had murdered his girlfriend). The bullet that initially hit his arm struck bone, and it looked like someone had put a grenade in his tricep. His tricep was basically gone. That was with a standard 55 gr. fmj.

      Well, I guess that has something to do with the engaging distances and the specific ammunition. Typically at high velocities, the 556 will basically explode in a pretty short distance when it impacts. The fact that the Russians very quickly made the 545 to replace 762*39 really shows how effective smaller caliber rounds can be.
      Besides, if my memory is correct, the Viet Cons were actually surprised by the devastating damage done by 556, the very teeny tiny round.

I'm a 5.56 guy myself and there is great modern 5.56 ammo and living in the US it makes sense, my AK is even in 5.56. It's not that 5.56 is bad, it's just 5.45 is exceptionally good. Because of the long bullet and hollow nose with steel core it yaws consistently at almost all ranges, this causes much greater wounding potential. It's why people have called it the magic or poison bullet, you can get shot in the leg with 5.45 and have the bullet exit your neck because of the wild yaw.

    I own and love both the AR and 7.62x39 AK platforms equally, and this video does a nice job of showcasing their different strengths. The 7.62 AK really continues to shine at what it was originally designed for, 2-300m engagements and under as it was originally fielded as a sub gun replacement for the soviets. It’s increased delivery of energy and barrier/brush penetration sub 300m Vs the 5.56, as well as ability to run for 10s of thousands of rounds with virtually zero maintenance or parts replacement make it an extremely effective carbine for its intended purpose 3/4 of a century later. The 5.56 AR really shines in its wide variety of rounds for different purposes and it’s ability to really outclass the 7.62 once you begin approach 300m and beyond, and of course the modern day AR is no slouch when it comes to reliability either. Both carbines remain fantastic performers for their intended roles, and it’s why I usually alternate between them each range day.

    For better comparison value, and starting with the M4 in 5.56mm-one should use the AK74 in 5.45mm (more likely apple to apple comparison). I was fortunate enough during my service years to shoot on many occasions the AK 74 beside the HK G3 and some other. The AK 74 had a V0 of 900m/s and a 525m effective firing range, very accurate considering the iron sights we only had at that time. More precise was the HK G3, but not as durable in the field after three weeks (of learning the first name of each of the moles we encountered by digging out our "holes" for the day).

    Would have like to see some Serbian M67 vs the 855A1 with barrier shots. Hollowpoint is great, but as a multi-tour OIF vet, my experience is people seek cover when shot at. Barrier penetration is more vital than people believe, which is where HP falls short. Destroying cover also makes your adversary displace, creating opportunities. In urban Iraq, an AK with a buttstock and properly aimed was hard to beat. We used captured ones as truck guns etc. In a world of increasing urbanization and non-stop suburban sprawl, the Kalashnikov with an intermediate cartridge has relevancy for the future. Also has an edge in chewing through body armor better than 5.56 and also better performance in freezing and hot, dusty environments. As a survival rifle, it requires a lot less cleaning supplies. Still love my AR's, but dont discount the Kalash.

    • @chromaticabberationsgiveme9811
      @chromaticabberationsgiveme9811 Před 3 měsíci +1

      ​@@enanny0616Even though 5.56 DOES penetrate body armor much better (this is a fact and simple physics), the .30 caliber round from an AKM is much more versatile. What do I mean? I mean that the 7.62x39 round is less able to penetrate body armors but much more capable as a bullet. The upsides is that even without penetration, youre having your breath knocked out of your body or possibly even thrown back/fall backward. The impact of the bigger round with more powder means that even if it doesnt penetrate, itll probably break some ribs and possibly make you die from blunt impact either way. Another thing to note is that because of its lower velocity, it actually dumps all energy and slows down way faster which actually makes a better home defense bullet rather than 5.56 (ofc using hollow point rounds negates that advantage over 7.62 fmj and bad marksmanship will end in someone dying unintentionally regardless of caliber). The downsides are usually range-based, which Ill admit hitting anything with an ak at 700 yards or even 500m will probably not be as lethal as 5.56. Now will you ever need to rely on that range advantage as a civilian in home defense or insurgency? Probably not, but if I was aiming that far Id get a higher caliber round rather than intermediate cartridge regardless.
      So in the end, the AK destroys cover and can kill with blunt damage alone. However the AR15 can defeat armor with specialization and is still very much capable. Its all up to what you want to use

The Ak he took a round through the deltoid muscle, same day I took a ricochet off my NODS mount. This was in Baghdad around 2005 in SAdr City. He got a through and through with the AK and recovered in about 7 weeks.
    Then, in 2007 when we were back in Baghdad he was walking in a chow line and some Nasty guard POG had a live round in his supposed to be clear
    weapon, had a negligent discharge with his M4 and the round went right into my buddies shin. The round ripped off a chunk of his calf and snapped both his Fibia and Tibula in half. This one effectively ended his military career. So, if you ask him, he’d Say the M4.
    Side note: the guys around him nearly beat the NG guy to death, and he ended up in Leavenworth. The guys who savagely beat him ended up getting other than honorable discharges. I wasn’t there at the time, but I saw him at the aid station like 30 min before he flew out. The whole Situation was gnarly.

    • @-Zevin-
      @-Zevin- Před 8 měsíci +31

      They did do some testing with 5.45 a while back, and it's clear it has much greater wounding potential than 5.56, one constant is the 5.45 because of it's longer bullet hollow nose and steel core it yaws almost every single time, even at extended ranges.
      300 BLK vs 7.62x39 would be interesting though, I imagine they would perform similarly depending on bullet type ballistically they are very similar in drop and energy. In allot of ways the 300 BLK was a attempt to make a 7.62x39 type bullet shoot out of a AR platform, a middle ground between the AR-15 and AR-10.

    • @jcows12

      The blackout holds a bit less powder but shoots similar velocities, you can benefit from a 16" barrel for better performance but they also run excellent with short barrels allowing for a compact portable hammer. 300 blk with a 110 VMAX will cause a lot of damage because the projectile is quite soft and expands easily while getting a great increase in velocity over its heavier offerings.

    @Garand Thumb An interesting video you should check out is on that was done by Military Arms Channel where they utilized the various military iterations of the 5.56 cartridge in all the military issued AR variants going back to the M16A1. A quick spoiler, the M16A1 was the only AR rifle adopted to ever pair a 20in barrel with a 1:12 twist ratio and when a 55gn M193 is fired through that particular barrel, the results are devastating. I was shocked to see damage performance that appeared consistent with something like .308 or 30.06. The whole point of the video was to test what was presumed to be Fudd lore, whether or not the M16A1+M193 combo was the deadliest iteration and the results were surprising to say the least. If memory serves, MAC conducted their test on Watermelons just like Gunny Ermey would have, itd be interesting to see this particular experiment receive the Dr. Garand treatment with ballistic dummies, irreverent humor, etc.

    I was a combat medic in an infantry platoon in OIF. I treated both 5.56 (old M855) and 7.62x39 wounds, and the 5.56 exit wounds were always, always way worse. Like, big enough that I had to use four or five full rolls of kerlex gauze (this was pre-z fold combat gauze making it's way to us) for one exit wound in soft tissue. I mean, I could get my entire hand in those wound cavities, and I wear size XL gloves.
    Don't get me wrong, 7.62x39 wounds were ugly too, and getting shot with either is going to fucking ruin your day, but if I was told I was absolutely going to get shot and had to choose which of those two rounds I was going to get hit with, I'd take the 7.62x39.

    I'd give the nod to the 7.62x39 simply because of what you mentioned earlier in the video. Cheaper, bulk, ball ammo...is as effective as more expensive, fancier ammo from the 5.56. The 7.62x39 is also a bit less dependent on speed to do it's job, etc. Add in the better barrier penetration (again of simple cheap ball ammo), and I'll lean that way. Even a "bad" AK round is still 122 grains of screw-you.

      I got half a case from SGammo of the 8M3, or 8V3, I'm tired, I haven't shot it yet, but from videos of the ammo I remember seeing them take apart rounds and have the scoring on the inside of the jacket, so I have high hopes for their performance. Golden Tiger brand.

      @cwmoreash The old 8M3 I was talking about, that I've tested multiple times before and seen fragmentation in, is the blue and white box ammo made by the Ulyanovsk factory. Golden tiger is typically made by Vympel, so not the same ammo. There was also an older round that was called the 8M1 effect, and it had a nipple at the tip with an air gap inside.

      @@775boyscout Yeah I know about where GT is made, I understand the different factories, I just mean I am really hoping the Vympel stuff performs like I have read of older 8M3 performs. I will try to remember to test it out on something i can recover the bullet from and look at it.

    It would be interesting to see the Yugo M67 round in action. The Yugoslavs developed it in the 60's with the purpose of creating a superior wound channel than the M43 has to offer. They wanted to combine the punch delivered by the 7,62x39 with the jawing effect of the 5.45x39 (The "poisoned" bullet). If you'll ever make some more tests, I would really like to see that in action.

      fun fact: I am currently crying so hard right now. This is seriously the most beautiful, well put together story ever. I can’t believe how magical it was 1:12. That part truly made me shed a tear. And especially at 6:34 that part was just so truly heart touching words can not describe the series of emotions I felt. I absolutely loved the climax it had insanely excellent detail. Oh and we can’t forget the conclusion. The conclusion was the greatest and saddest conclusion I have ever seen better than any of the books I have read. Thank you so much for creating this absolute masterpiece. This is essentially the most important masterpiece of film history. It is a tragedy that this, it can’t be called a film, but a transcendent emotional experience, will be inaccessible for most. It beautifully encapsulates the human struggle to its basics; suffering, pleasure, faith, despair. It connects with the characters within the viewers, individuals suppressed within our own subconscious. It stays vibrant, fresh, and revolutionizes the art of storytelling and filmmaking while making a damn of statement on what it means to be human. Entertaining, gripping, and simply exhilarating. This might be the most impactful piece of art I’ve come across in my life, and I’m definitely coming back to it in the near future to study it more deeply. this is an absolute masterpiece , I was brought to tears listening to this and seeing the bacon go whirly swirly in a circle countless times. it absolutely moved my soul , and I don't think I can ever be the same. this bacon has changed my entire mental state , I am now at peace with who I am and what I will be doing later in my life. i have forgiven all my enemies and now I am a man of a pacifist life. I will move on , gotta move on , as the song says. the bacon is so inspirational , it shares it vast wisdom with all of us , and we are all so lucky that it would bestow it's great words with us. we are all children on bacon. hail bacon. hail bacon. The spinning bacon, rotating in one direction with this music... This made me tear up. How could such a bacon do such a thing? I'm struck by awe by this masterpiece. Especially when the bacon spins, showing its lightly salt covered tan skin. I can hear the crunch just from here, and so as the beautiful sound of the bacon scraping the dark, smooth velvet floor. The flavor, music and everything can be heard, tasted, seen and felt from a screen. You can really hear the breaths between the music artist, empathizing her love for this rotating bacon. Truly what I call modern art. This was the most legendary performance by any piece of bacon I have ever watched. The acting was top tier and very life changing. This is one of the greatest work from a piece of bacon I have ever seen especially on 57:42.I am currently crying so hard right now.

It really inspired me to become an outstanding young man. Thank you.
