It's also interesting that the full auto position is in the middle position Perhaps when a soldier is in panic he will flip the safety all the way down and end up in semiauto, preserving ammunition
If it has a high amount of recoil and it's full auto, you want to aim lower, sure as spit that gun is going rise up. Ever tried firing an uzi? Those little buggers love to creep with a quickness.
@@potatolord2196 haven't heard of that but I suppose it is possible. How would leaning into it make you flinch? Good training to not flinch is have your buddy randomly load in snap caps to your mag to flinch train and also training clear malfunctions. :)
@@rustyshackleford1697 Mostly because it is less consistent, you won't have the same trigger flinch but you get used to pushing the rifle forward. The amount of practice it takes to get a consistent position isn't realistic for most, and it doesn't work well from anything but standing.
Just plant you firing side foot properly in the ground to the back a little and bend your knees a bit, there the ancient sacred top secret technique to control recoil on any weapon
Their doctrine called to aim for the pretty much the crotch area. By the time you do a short burst and the gun climbes, you've put a few rounds in the guy.
Miss being able to buy ak's and ar's. Illinois unfortunately bit the big one at the start of the year and banned all assault style weapons. Can't wait until my daughter is 18 so I can get out of this shitHole demoncrat state. Can't even buy a damn sks with a adjustable stock or use the ak mag conversion kit Because it's considered an assault weapon now. Smh.
Soviet doctrine held that the AK was a submachine gun, not a rifle. So the techniques and tactics for it were based on that. Accurate fire was not a major concern. American doctrine was the exact opposite for the M16 despite the 2 weapons being roughly equivalent in capabilities.
1. That's just a standing shooting stance. 2. It works just fine for semi-auto shooting. 3. Any rifle, without some form of recoil compensation, will rise when fired on automatic. Especially higher calibers like 7.62mm. Automatic fire is not generally used, except when assaulting a position(particularly when clearing a trench) or in dire defensive need, e.g. final defensive fire. At that point, you aren't going for pinpoint accuracy. In fact, Soviet troops were usually taught to fire from the hip with short controlled bursts, when assaulting positions. You can see this in many old propaganda clips of Soviet training exercises.
@@DrygdorDradgvork also at wedings in some parts of the world they shoot the skys but i cant get it is this as a sign of joy or anger/sadnes remains in a fog of war and love
"Later, the firing stance would be improved upon, giving the red army mastery over their weapons." They brought their right foot forward. You describe everything so mythically, it's all very down to earth
My father in law bought a military surplus SKS that came with the original Chinese instruction manual and he wasn't able to read any of it but there were a few pictures and diagrams including one that showed the gun being used to shoot and bayonet paratroopers
@@randomarchive1671 look at the plate of the machine, on the animation, it is in the safety position, that is, the weapon cannot shoot, the plate at the bottom is a single shooting mode, the plate in the middle is an automatic shooting mode. soldiers in the video are in automatic firing mode with a fuse
@@juhokuusisto9339his language probably uses the same word for safety/fuse/insurance like mine and the translator he used translated it as fuse because he didnt translate the entire sentece but just the word
@@oogawhama3559 a "good" film, really? He was shown as a stipid selfish autist, that accidently invented a AK by himself, and ofcourse he almost got repressed for no reason.
@@serbrat I knew that story was too good to be true but I did not know about the Bulkin. That is the missing piece. I knew a Tank Sgt couldnt just make a "simple weapon" just like that.
@@serbratYeah but the bulkin wasnt a very good service rifle and was tested side by side with the AK47 and lost the soviet durability test. Gun was deemed a failure. You saying stuff like he stole the patent when in reality Russia encouraged the designers to work together and use each others idea for a greater Russia.
I found aiming low at the rifle range actually helped with pop up targets on the Army’s qualifying course. I know for a fact I skipped a few bullets on the 25 and 50 M targets. I would think that would still do serious damage to any enemy, so I morally accepted all of those hits.
47 is only a series of prototypes as were AK 46 and AK 48. The earliest ones issued were just called AK and AKS with different designs (type 1 2 or 3).
My brother had an ak and it really shocked me how much recoil it had. I was thinking it would be a little more than an ar-15 but after a day at the range it was like I used a shotgun. This was semi auto so I can only imagine how ferocious a full auto ak is.
Recoil doesn't matter at cqc, that automatic 7.62x39 machine is ripping thru any and everything. It's why the GI's were outgunned in cqc with vietnamese guerillas with Norinco aks. Absolutely different breed of firearm
It's not because AKs hit high and muzzle rise. It's called a battle zero where aiming at the belt buckle will result in good hits from 50m out to 400m and they've been using that since the Mosin Nagant.
We had similiar official shooting stance in the Finnish military in early 2010's. Finland uses an AK-variant called RK62. The official grip was rather similar and it told that you should have a stance where your legs are straight and left foot a bit front of your right foot. It was extremely awkward, unnantural and unstable position. Our trainers insisted that we used that form when shooting at the range. In real combat exersices I tended to hold my own, more natural and way better stance with much better accuracy.
А почему вы показываете советских солдат со звериным оскалом на лице? Вы что, пытаетесь этим показать свою ненависть к нашим отцам и делам? А если вы ненавидите наших предков, то вы автоматически ненавидите и нас. А значит вы русофобы!

Rifle: *exists* 💥Hollywood💥: I call this the ultra backwards spinning tiger hip fire! -Proceeds to miss everything 3rd world militias: write that down!🥰
My brother is a Marine. He said during some kind of 101 into foreign battle field weapons that when learning about the AK they were told aim at the feet. This way when it inevitably rose with the recoil you would give the enemy buttons all the way up his body
An AK’s auto setting is more for … what’s the proper western euphemism … rapid pacification of unfriendly elements that are in close proximity. If you’re at range, you’re better off with semi-automatic fire.
During the scene where who i presume to be either a premier or mikhail kalishnikov handing out a manual while in a black suit, hes using an AK 74 to my sight, just a mention
The tendency to lift during use is not the only problem, the length of the magazine makes it very difficult to stay low behind cover.... But the reliability and easy maintenance and inexpensive production costs has made it the most used weapon in the world..
Both my grandparents were serving in cold war red army and they were shooting semi auto 99% of the time, unless you had RPK or PKM Full auto was intended for WW2 like frontlines to produce maximum volume of fire across horizon
any properly trained soldier know that full auto on individual weapons it's only for suppression fire or as a last ditch solution. only machine guns are designed to regulary operate in full auto for obvious reasons
everyone clowning on the safety being on without noticing the charging handle is on the left side of the gun and they are reloading with the force like russian jedi
the main thing about the soviet style grip is that you keep your dominant arm's elbow outstretched as opposed to keeping it close to your body. It may offer more stability for a less experienced shooter, but in return you expose more of your body, and in my experience it requires more arm strength. Hope you learned something!
I have experience with full-auto AKs. Rented one from Battlefield Vegas a few years ago. Using it on semi auto is fine. But on full auto, it's easier to fire in short bursts. Because it tends to climb a bit more than the AR-15. It's probably one of the reasons why the Soviers switched to the 5.45x39 cartridge.
yes and no, they main reason it's because unlike AR15, the firing mechanism and the barrel it's not straight in line with the stock, so it naturaly pivot upwards due to recoil. meanwhile AR recoil push straight backwards against shooter shoulder
AK47 is. A 30 caliber weapon. Cartridge is roughly equivalent to 308 Winchester. Recoil is an issue. That's why USSR changed to AK74 in 1974 that fires a shell equivalent to the M16/M4 round with significantly less recoil.
It wasn't due to recoil it was because the Soviets concluded it was better to wound a man than to kill him. Due to the immense cost of taking care of wounded soldiers, rather than dead ones which gave birth to the AK74 and the 5.45x39 cartridge.
I would have to disagree with the .308 winchester statement. 7.62x39 is a significantly less powerful intermediate power cartridge, 7.62x54r is the much closer, full rifle power cartridge to the .308 winchester/7.62x51
@angryewokadam5419 Debatable it was designed to tumble not penetrate armor. Standard 7n6 rounds have a mild steel core but are not considered AP rounds. Your statements are a little vague. What are you comparing it to the 7.62x39 or 5.56x45.
@angryewokadam5419 well compared to 7.62x39, these are true. After some quick research, 5.45x39 SC penetrates deeper in three inches of steel, which was deeper than 7.62x39 SC surprisingly. ( link here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-au9ntfrGMZU.html)
@@liordagan9342 that is a myth there is no record anywhere of NKVD blocking detachments shooting retreating soldiers. The closet thing came from a memoir of a rifleman who was doing scout work and got shot at thinking he was a German sapper. The point of blocking detachments was to arrest deserters and act as rear guard incase of a german offensive. The only time someone was executed from retreating was if a officer or high ranking NCO incident a retreat without authorization. Even then he was more likely to be sent to a penal battalion or demoted or both. I urge you to actually attempt to take 5 mins to do some very very simple research
I found it funny when he said mastery over their weapon lol. The idea that the Soviets ever mastered anything aside from killing millions of Soviets themselves is a pretty good one, but it's a cool gun.
@@redvor2486 Well I mean all you have to do is ask a Ukrainian, let alone just about any older Baltic or Slavic person what a joy is was to live under the hammer and sickle comrade. It's not propaganda to admit the fact that the only person to kill more of his own people intentionally in modern history was Mao Zedong. Or how like aside from some exaggeration on battle tactics, the meat grinder metaphor isn't that far off, especially considering the documented disregard for civilians on both sides of the battle lines. It's not American propaganda, or if it is it doesn't make it less true man. The reason people believe this is because it happened I'm sorry to say.
All select fire rifles are designed to be fired primarily in semi-automatic. All select fire rifles will experience muzzle climb when fired on full auto. Full auto is not for precision aiming, it is to lay down suppressive fire.
Not that hard. I have fired it many times during time I was in duty for militia force. Mostly in simulation battles and training. Now I learned enough to use it both left hand and right hand. I never tried American/European AR, only see it in games, maybe recoil is better ? More accuracy ? Easy to maintainance ? Like in game I guess
Ahhh this makes sense. My father in law was in the soviet army and when i took him out shooting with my sks he used this position (which is a hilarious position to witness in real life)
Во первых руководство по стрелковому делу выдается не на войне, а находится в подразделении всё время и всегда доступно военнослужащим, во вторых руководство по стрелковому делу практически не имеет в себе способов удержания автомата, в основном оно посвященно способам ухода за оружием и прицеливанию, в третьих в видео показан только автомат АК/АКМ под калибр 7.62, хотя с 1974 года советская армия была перевооружена на автоматы АК-74/АКС-74 под калибр 5.45 и соответственно наставления по стреловому делу было переделанно под эти автоматы, ну и да, про проблему с вертикальной отдачей автор нагло лжет, на автоматах калашникова всех годов выпуска после 1952 года стоят ДТК которые позволяют в значительной степени уменьшить её
Do you guys want someone with expertise on how the animations should look? I’m willing to help with the attention to detail on firearms and equipment like this so that things look proper and convey the right appearance and all.
Ак 47 не существует, это прототип и не шел в массовое производство. Существует: АКМ, АКМС, АК 74, АК 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 12 и у каждых ещё модификации. Я перечислил далеко не все модели, мог упустить ещё. Я не включил в список десятки копий их других стран. Будьте здоровы
OK, so what was the improved method? In my experience, pulling DOWN on the fore-grip works. I've fired accurate (6" circle) five-round bursts, at 25-30 yards, with a MAC-11 (.380ACP, 1200 rds/min, and it DIDN'T have a suppressor or barrel extension), using that technique.
title: Soviet way of holding AK47. Video: describes regular way to hold ANY automatic rifle, then at very end mentions Soviets had an adapted way to hold the AK which is then NOT shown or described. FAIL.
My guy you’re saying there’s muzzle rise on the AK like there isn’t muzzle rise ON EVERY SHOULDER FIRED RIFLE EVER. Kids, don’t chicken wing your arm unless you’re shooting birds/clays with a shotgun.
Full auto on the AK is in general meant for siuations where you can´t place aimed shots like CQC or spraying at a trench / foxoholle from the hip while advancing. You gotta remember that the AKs intended role was that of an SMG that could join in with the rifles
С английским у меня плохо, и мало что понимаю, но почему такие ужасные анимации? Какого хрена они стреляют с предохранителем? У ак он препятствует ходу затвора и стрельба на предохранителе выглядит ужасно, не говоря о том, что это невозможно. Ещё они и передергивают затвор в таком положении, при этом обратно затвор тоже ведут, а его надо отводить назад и отпускать, чтоб пружина сама дослала патрон в патронник и был меньше шанс недозакрытия... Никто из аниматор даже не решил глянуть видео со стрельбами?
Everyone is up in arms about the safety being on, or the video showing an AK-74, but this is Simplehistory so just be glad the model wasn't holding an M16-A1 and wearing American "universal" digital camo gear while he talks about AK-47's 😅
There are no tricks to it, really. You switch to auto and shoot 2 by 2. (Double double taps). Also, military training guide outright calls you a dead man if you STAND in real combat scenario. Once you are part of an army, your gender is switched to MOLE, you pronounces are pile/dung, your default order (I.e. order you follow once you are left roughly 5 minutes without any) is to dig dual cavity for lying prone, slowly working your way into actual trench. To help you with that, you get an MPL-50 non-folding shovel which is certified for cutting enemy katanas and trench charges if logistics guys are generous. One such charge digs a whole sufficient to work as a foxhole, 2 finish the double foxhole, 6 are enough to make a tank trench. Once you do it, proceed to make a drainage, get some wood to support the walls, make a ridge, dig a wall hidey holes. Once done, produce extra positions to either retreat as necessary or simply use several sets as artillery bait.
U.S.A army manual M16,4,4A1It's very simple, take out the bloody cap over and over again, and don't worry, with the times that the shot is interrupted, you end up doing it instinctively
Hey just something for your animator , automatic fire is rarely used in a point target system AKA rifle carbine handgun shotgun Etc these are all more commonly used in semi automatic , why you might ask , firstly inaccuracy you aren’t controlling more than 3-5 of those shots unless it’s extremely close range , secondarily range matters too 1 recoil impulse per bullet so 6 recoil impulses will put you in the sky not capable of following through the shot iE resight for a follow up shot , tertiary point as well for the other reasons included it makes it a waste of ammo sure some guys carry 14 mag rigs but standard is 7+1 in gun so 240 rounds , so if you are firing a standard 1 round per 3 seconds that is a total of 12 full minutes of fighting , you up the fire rate to 3 shots every burst of fire and you have 4 minutes of fighting time now so it’s not the smartest to use your ammo like that as resupply could be a ways off still now however your team should have a machine gunner and assistant gunner , they and team carry about 2,000 rounds of 7.62x51 or whatever the country uses we use the M240 mainly now over the early M249 combat in Iraq it’s in 5.56 and wasn’t able to meet the standard of damaging the target at distance as a 5.56 shouldn’t really be taken past 300 Meters even tho with the right rifle it can go ro 600 but we had to engage at 1,000 meters in Afghanistan and that sort of range area where a round like 7.62x51 truly excels. Hope this helps !
So holding the forestock with your offhand and your cheek against the stock was invented by Russia.? Who is this guy.? Checkov??? That's the standard way to hold a rifle D@. It's been that way since rifles existed. That's why it's in the manual not because Russia invented it.
My uncle bought a Russian Dnapier motorcycle in parts, as a restoration project. He downloaded a translation of the original workshop manual for it. Under 'Battery Care: Filling Battery', step 1 was to go outside and fill a pan with freshly fallen snow.
Они перезаряжаются неправильно... Если стрелок правша - он производит перезарядку левой рукой (замену магазина и взведение затвора) оставляя правую руку на пистолетной рукоятке. А еще по какой-то причине они стреляют с предохранителя
This is how people have been holding firearms since their invention. Do u think holding it like this was first invented by Russia?? My brother in Christ, farmers in 1770’s America held their muskets the same way. What r u smoking?
I like how when the soldier is firing it, the front sight lines up perfectly with the RU-vid thumbs up icon on my phone in vertical screen mode. Anyone else see that? (Not gonna start another meaningless argument about the different gun at the 0:13 mark, which is technically AK-74 and not AK-47)
This is just dumb fudd lore, this stance is taken for maximum precision when firing in single-fire as full-auto was for CQC only, at which point you would adopt a much more adaptive stance, all you're doing now is spreading more of this dumb myth about how inaccurate the AK was when in reality it is no less accurate than an M-16
The M-16 with its inline direct impingement gas system there isn’t a strong barrel lift like you get with an AK that uses a gas piston mounted above the barrel.
