@@mikelrivas7561 yeah the m16 and m4s are the most common medic Guns ive seen other than the AEK, havent seen much AN-94s tho, big fan of the PDW-R and Sks tho, fun guns
After watching several AEK videos, the stats (recoil, spread, etc.) are ridiculous in BF4. This gun is very accurate and very easy to control in real life.
+alaskanhybrid there's the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series of games, trilogy is on steam, all pretty fun shooters, pretty sure both Clear Skies and Call of Pripyat have the AEK-971, if not, there's mods that add them and add a bunch of other guns and cool stuff.
0:22 translation is incorrect. The guy said: "Basically, these weapons were competitors to each other in their days" (referring to the AEK-971 and AN-94). "With this one is an actualized system with a balanced action" (referring to the AEK-971)
yes, translations for some of this stuff is really incorrect, he was talking about AEK 971 and AN 94 being competitors in the Abakan competition. Ultimately the AN 94 won by a slight margin, and thus AN 94 has a codename Abakan in the Russian army
AN-94 has a slight advantage in 2 round burst. AEK-971 has an advantage in just about every other situation. AEK-971 is also much less complicated mechanically, making it less expensive and easier to maintain.
Honestly though, while the AK74 and M16 platforms are comparable as general issue service rifles, there really isn't anything like the AN94 or AEK-971 in the West. They are very much unique among intended service rifles.
The most updated version of this weapon is the A-545 (available in 5.45X39 and 7.62X39 calibers). It has a telescoping stock like G3, but the butt of the stock can rotate 180 degrees (like AEK-919K submachine gun) to fit neatly onto back end of receiver when stock is fully collapsed. It appears to use a rotator diopter style rear sight (like G3 and Sig 550 series). The butt even appears to have a hole to allow the shooter to use the sights when stock is fully collapsed (and butt is rotated 180 degrees). It also uses Picatinny rails.
Honestly, I was litterally going "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT???!!!!!!!!" in front of my screen when I saw the level of controlability of the thing, aswell as how smooth it looks to fire and how the barrel NEVER seems to rise AT ALL. I'm beyond impressed by the AEK
What I love about most russian rifles, is that they can just keep on going. The mechanisme of the gun is so simple and powerful. And a rifle like the Ak47 will always be used somewhere around the world, either by armies but also by terrorists. This one also looks fantastic!
Механизм конкретно этой винтовки довольно сложный. Сама винтовка разбирается дольше чем тот же АК, капризнее и стоит существенно дороже. Из плюсов можно отметить вес и большую кучность при стрельбе длинными очередями. Поэтому АЕК не пошел в регулярную (призывную) армию и используется только профессиональными военными из сил специальных операций.(Хотя и там многие предпочитают доведенный до ума АК по причине феноменальной надежности)
December 2014 AK-12 and A-545 (AEK-971) passed the state tests and adopted accordingly. Both assault rifles are in service with specialized troops in 2015
Andre Yashin For me it's always hard to believe when a Russian says that their rifle is/will be the best or the US calls the AR15 and the 5.56mm the best. Let's just see if that's true over time.
@@gabrocki ak-12 outclasses preety much m4a1 in everything exept rpm It has never barrel,muzzle brake and folding stock So its ergonomics are awsome and recoil is rly smaller now Plus 5.45 is lighter,generate lower recoil and is fired with lower m/s While 5.56 is heavier,fired with higher m/s and will generate more power up (i think) 300-500m but with higher recoil Plus reliability is better with ak so by all statistics we can say that ak-12/15 is best ar MASS PRODUCCED as standard issue for army(even if its yet replacing ak-74m)
@@nemanjaredzic1565 I would argue that the AR-15 platform has better ergonomics, is lighter weight, and does an excellent job of keeping dirt and dust out of it
Real talk, Slow motion for 90% of the shots is really annoying. Lets see it being shot in real time with no dramatic filters so we can see what it looks like in action, instead of the hollywood effects.
@@MrRapunzell nope, the originally designed version was better, but the Ministry of Defense didn't like the complexity of recoil reduction system that was similar to AN-94 so they nerfed the AK-12, have to agree with Konstantin, so far the AK-107 is the best right now
@@666darkwisdom When it comes to competition and high tech, ak 107, but in war you need a gun that is reliable, easy to disassemble and cheap in production. In that matter the final AK 12 wins. These were always the key characteristics for Kalash's success.
This was the best russian assault rifle in Bf3, add a kobra optic and you had one hell of a rifle. I remember taking so many people down with this thing. Fucking love it
AN-94 was my go to russian weapon for mid to long range combat in bf4. That 2 shot was really smooth, just like what he said (even though i can't feel irl the feeling lol). The AEK-971 was ideal in close range battle. High rate of fire and great ttk.
There's a new rifle to replace the AEK -971 rifle line known as A-545. Basically it is the newest and the better variant of the AEK. Looking forward to see this A-545 in action.
Seems to function better then the AN-94. Great to see some rare footage of firearms out of Russia, pre and post Soviet era. Keep up the good footage :)
it is a real gun, there was even 5.56 version called AEK-972, however aek rifles is about old days this series evolved into 6P67 (5.45) and 6P68 (7.62) and already have seen battle experience, and as Anomaly player myself I fully agree with you
The Russians have an addiction to good guns. Indestructible, powerful, user-friendly. Honestly I do think the AEK is it's own class of (as they said) automatic bolt actions
It's not an addiction, it's a matter of survival, becasue at least twice per century a whole bunch of folks keep coming from the Western direction trying to exterminate all Russians and get all their natural resources. Prior to that, a whole bunch of folks from the Eastern direction kept coming over from the land of the feared Dragon. Those fellas were later renamed as "Mongols", and if you look at the drawings of those "Mongols" they look nothing like the modern mongols, and do look suspiciously like Chinese...
Not just Russians, I'm from Mexico and I love weapons from pistols to my favorite 7.62/39 Ak47. What I'm trying to say is there's gun maniacs all over this bullet proof world
Amar Munkhjargal You are from Mongolia, so why won't you please give a link to a Mongolian museum that holds all those artifacts from Russia, you know, the 300 years worth of taxation. All that gold, silver, weapons, carpets, pottery, bear skins, since you know, there are no bears in Mongolia. In fact, show a single find of ANY Russian goods that were brought to Mongolia that the Golden Horde, since you are obviously so much smarter then I am. 300 hundred years of taxing the most wealthiest continent of the world to this date, so let us see all those magnificent Mongolian museums filled to the brim with most amazing artifacts brought from Tartaria. I'll be waiting on that.
5 reasons you are wrong. 1. Yeah. There are. There's a museum called "National Museum of History". As its name suggests it exhibits artifacts that shows how Mongolians lived over time. Including the time period which Golden Horde existed. 2. There's a bear species called Mazaalai that can only be found in Mongolia. 3. You have to disagree with a lot of historians to prove your point. 4. Artists during that time used their own unique art styles. Chinese artists drew people with more asiatic features and European artist drew people with more European features. You must've saw a chinese painting with a lot of Mongolian warriors. 4. Stop fucking bootlegging everything you filthy fuck. What next? If I look closely at Neil Armstrong will he look secretly more Chinese than an American? Why don't you stop messing with established history and mind your own fucking business?
Subs for russian narration are total garbage. Some times it's either just completely opposite meaning or some random subs uinrelated to what's beind said.
Just a little too much power for the size of the weapon is all it is. The American vs. Russian firearms debate will go on probably forever, but the thing is there are better American guns and there are better Russian guns. No one is perfect
+Cameron Menshikov There is no perfect firearm. There will always be some or the other situation where one firearm or one of its configurations doesn't give the best utility. Pick the right tool for the right job more like.
Does anyone know what the ''E'' in ''AEK'' stands for? I know that the ''A'' is ''automatic carbine'' and ''K'' is ''Koksharov'', but I don't know what the ''E'' means.

I don't know much about the M4 vs the AK etc. I've heard and read rumours and stories about the unreliability of the M4 and poor accuracy on the AK like everybody else, but I won't stand on one side or another before I try the weapons out myself one day. However, I'm very familiar with the HK416 which really is nothing more than an improved M4, or so I was told and has grown to understand. Wonderful weapon. Used one for every single day in 12 months and the only time it jammed on me was when the feedinglips on one of my mags was slightly knocked off. And that rifle (it was the 16.5 inch barrel) was through some rough weather and treatment.
Tell you what, first time I took this baby in my hands I already knew I prefer it to any other gun by means of recoil, accuracy, rate of fire, soft juicy sound. And in the end I finnished the entire Stalker Anomaly with it.
23.12.2014 АК-12 и А-545 (АЕК-971) прошли государственные испытания в рамках конкурса "Ратник". Оба автомата соответствуют тактико-техническим требованиям министерства обороны РФ и должны поступить для опытно-войсковой эксплуатации в войска.
@@lucastonoli3256 oh hey, I'm Japanese. I'm really surprised that you are know much about Japanese. But, you can read it as Kunai. If you read first sound, you can read "Na-na" as "Na" and "I-chi" as ”I", right? This kind of reading is called 語呂合わせ(Goroawase), and is a common play on words in Japan. Anyway, I was high school student when I posted this. I'm sorry if you thought this was too childish.
Well that old model. New model have name A545 (5.45x39) and A762 (7.62x39) and that rifles coming in Russian army.. BUT for professional army, for regular we still have AK but new AK-12, bcz AK better for regular army, bcz it simple
+Михаил Милков главная причина победы АК12 в конкурсе называется "лоббирование": ижевское оружие всегда имело нечестное преимущество перед тульским и ковровским.
+groupsphera, Всё проще. У Коврова и Тулы просто нет таких мощностей, как у Ижевска. А для основного оружия очень важно иметь возможность выпускать его миллионными сериями в кратчайшие сроки. Иначе, в случае чего, придётся воевать камнями. Вот такая паранойя, но не без веских оснований. Коврову и Туле вполне можно отдать вооружение сил СпН, там важней качество, а не количество.
rustЕсли проблема в отсутствии мощностей, то почему заворачивают с другими формулировками? И почему на конкурсе 2013, ЕМНИП, года АК12 провалил госприёмку, но ему дали "второй шанс"
I'm going to assume you've been around AEKs, my friend has one and it double feeds and has ejection issues. Any idea on how to fix that? They're basically non existent in the US
Ak is not superior than aek in terms of recoil Its is more expensive gun meant for sf and some probably special battalions Ak is reliable,cost effective and awsome gun for mass production for big army It is extremly cappable(i think ak-12 is right now best standard issue(well it is replacing yet ak-74m)in tge world)
I really wish we could get some of these cool Russian weapons in the states, looks like even our current administration isn't really looking out for us firearms enthusiasts. i'd easily pick up a semi-auto one of these new Russian rifles, ak-107 etc.
Once you have an intimate relationship with AK 74 any weapon system feels like a step down because you won't experience the same reliability and loyalty from your rifle. The old 47 was called the lord of war for a fairly good reason: it was about as good as an Assault Rifle got ... with one problem: the 7.62 round wasn't quite there. --- That being said, with the introduction of the 5.45, the final issue (from my perspective at least) was solved. the AK 74 is the perfect Assault Rifle. It's everything you need and nothing you don't, a weapon pure and simple.
***** AR has too many parts for my taste and a DI shits where it eats. I can't live with that. --- The standard 74 is as accurate as a standard AR in competent hands. A "modified" or "specialist" AR is another story. 1-2 moa accuracy in 300 meters with range beyond is more accurate than many shooters are capable of. All that's needed in a rifle is a good optic and some pic-space. I'm not an operator so all I want is a caveman proof rifle that gets the job done with minimal fuss.
***** It's a subjective thing I admit. I like the AK because it doesn't need pins or screws or what-not. Hey, the AK was designed as a machine-gun first and a rifle second (you can tell by the selector switch going safe-full-semi) whereas the AR was rifle first, machine gun second. In a sense, while both rifles, they were designed from different stand points. --- The AK was designed with abuse in mind when Kalashnikov let the rifle "breath". The AR was designed following the "marksmen" tradition and required routine maintenance because in simplifying it, it made the AR run dirty. That's just the design. In a sense, it's kind of unfair to both rifles to be compared to one another. If you want rugged reliability, get the AK. It's 1-2 Moa but more accurate than you most of the time. If you want accuracy and superb handling, spec up an AR. AR's are some of the most accurate rifles in the world. You cannot argue against that --- They are two different beasts I guess. That being said, you do make good points. Personally, if I wanted the best of both worlds I'd get a SIG 556 with a Swiss 550/551 lower or a Tavor with a Geissele trigger.
I Ren ey, the AK was designed as a machine-gun first and a rifle second (you can tell by the selector switch going safe-full-semi)----- Bullshit. An untrained soldier in a critical situation might kick the selector down and waste all his ammo in a quick burst. So, to put the selector in full auto, you need to pull it down neatly. Thats the point.
Олег Фалин Bothered to understand the original design specs? It's basic knowledge if you understand firearms that the standard Military Rifle designed as "rifle first" goes Safe-Semi-Full (or in the case of the AR, Safe-1-3). --- The design for the AK going Safe-Full-Semi was so it can be a machine gun was because it was designed to be used by the average Russian grunt en-masse. It was developed following the Soviet combat doctrine after WW II with an emphasis on massed fire (because within the modern 300 meter engagement volume is critical). --- Look, ask anyone who knows firearms and they will back up my assertion. Kalash was designed as a machine gun first. You don't buy Kalash to do head shots (though it is accurate enough to do so). --- You buy Kalash if you want something that will take all the shit you can throw at it, look you in the face and say "is that all you got?"
***** You can find the blueprints online. Just google it. As for the design specifications, google that too. With enough poking around anything can be had. Word of warning: only a few are trustworthy. --- Anyways, this discussion is getting old. It's going nowhere, like being caught between a rock and a hard place. I'm getting tired. Good night!
+nordheart The M4 could. But honestly its useless shooting an assault rifle fully auto unless you're doing CQC but sub machine guns are better for that.
Several...F2000 and FAMAS straight up outclass this gun when it comes to high fire rate and practically zero recoil. M4s shooting hot can attain nearly the same fire rate, but again vastly more controllable.
The AN-94 took a mechanically complex road to recoil mitigation, whereas the AEK-971 took a simple approach. Still, the STALKER in me loves the AN-94..... and the VSS Vintorez..... mmmm
Hearing about and seeing weapons like this makes me think U.S. and maybe even all western firearms manufacturers are just adding a new cool looking shell to existing systems, and upping the price on them to squeeze money out of governments. While the Russians are actually making strides towards the next stage of firearms with these recoil suppression systems. No wonder the U.S. army decided to kill the M4 replacement, no point in buying what is essentially the same gun( with the major difference being piston driven) for 2x the price.
Ulfbert I wouldn't call what the russians are doing strides in technology....the germans pioneered "recoil suppression" so to speak in ww2 with their fg42!
But the FG-42 didn't use this system. The idea of suppressing recoil may not originate from Russians, but they are developing it far more than any firearm manufacturer making guns in NATO nations. The only trend you see is more rails and restoring old firearms to modern day expectations.
Dude imagine if other countries like Bulgaria and Romania made civilian versions of this rifle like they do with AK's. Such sexy rifles need to be imported and assembled as civilian models.
You're really going to let an American review a Russian gun? Americans will always say that their guns are superior durrr their Americans, I think the AEK has much better recoil control over the M4, it's a great gun.
What a shameless AR fanboy.... *Fires weapon--- almost NO visible recoil or muzzle rise* "How is it?" ".... Not bad" ARE YOU KIDDING ME? That's the best in the world. And it's ergonomics aren't even in the same world as your precious AR? Riiiight. That the same AR that you can't even charge without breaking the stock from the shoulder? To hell with the AR. Having served with it in a combat zone on several occasions, I would take this or any variant of the AK over that piece of garbage ANYDAY
JTelli786 Nope, I am only a fan of what works right and what is the best. There are many rifles I like and would carry into combat, but the AR is no longer one of them, and I strongly dislike those who so blindly defend it. They are the reason we are stuck with such a poor rifle in the service, and such a marginal round,
SamJ1986 I personally dont have a favorite rifle, but the m16 ar15, however you want to go about it, is by no means a bad rifle, its all about personal opinion, i may not like the Fn Fal, (i do actually) but it doesnt mean that i have to tell anyone who does like it that there opinion is wrong.
JTelli786 Never said anything about anyone who "likes it" I said he was acting like a fanboy. The AR belongs in sporting, home defense and MAYBE law enforcement, but it does not deserve it's place as the military rifle for our nation. It has let me down too many times when I needed it and has some pretty big flaws. Mainly the weak round, dirty method of operation, inability to handle extreme heat or cold, dependence on lube and frequent cleaning, and ergonomic issues like the charging handle that cannot be easily utilized without pulling the rifle away from the shoulder. Again, if I had to go back overseas I would take something in the AK line ANYDAY of the week,
