The AK in Ready or Not 

“The AK has been involved in numerous conflicts”, as in literally every conflict since it came out of the factory lmao

The real reason we love 7.62x39 is because of surplus ammo, may your powder stay dry and your barrel stay warm

"The hammer, the sickle, the AK-47." -Ahoy, 2015

3:34 you sent his soul flying farther than his body

"Higher caliber weapons with poor penetration are often not chosen as these firearms are capable of overpenetrating" wtf am I listening to xD

AKs are more accurate than 80% of shooters can shoot, this whole accuracy argument is just annoying at this point, it only started off as American propaganda during the Cold War.

Not to mention also: familiarity. Law enforcement that tends to use AKs tends to use them in countries where AKs are ubiquitous, and that familiarity aids training and thus capability. It also means that there's a good logistical supply of training ammunition.

Super slick vid! There are some other things that aren't touched upon in Ready or Not: 7.62x39 while very similar to .300 Blackout, might be a tad inferior and a lot of the surplus ammo aren't what you'd call precision shooters even out of an AR in 7.62x39, BUT they are cheap in bulk even with current day events. Helps that it has a huge number of companies producing the round due to its prevalence, compared to 5.45 which is harder to find. The folding stock of certain models. The one depicted in game uses the left side folding stock with latch, a feature that isn't particularly mentioned but something that may come to use for real life. AKs don't have a buffer in the stock, which allows users to use it with the stock folded in a pinch. It's not particularly as accurate or consistent, though for shooting in a car, or needing to deploy it from storage or slung, it's a quick action. Or if you really have no time to deploy that stock, long as there's a round in the chamber, get it off safe and start blasting. The manual of arms isn't as fast or intuitive vs an AR, but if you're wearing thick gloves, the big controls are easy to work with and its function is pretty easy to understand. This comes hand in hand with its use in colder environments, where you'd probably wanna stay warm whilst using it. Nonetheless, while the AK has flaws, it was designed with the duty to be used in combat. Its long time service, huge array of aftermarket support that very few other weapons barring the AR15 can match and proven track record mean that it's gonna be around for a while.

I think the AK is an excellent weapon to give to the AI since they seem deadly accurate despite it's recoil and with how heavy it hits the suspects always go down super quick.

I was gonna throw shade for the... hit or miss quality in the vid. buuuut eh fuck it. it was 10 months ago. plenty of time to get better at making things. deff throwing out a lotta myths as common sense tho'

The reason to use it right now asides from appeasing the Soviet-aesthetics enthusiasts is there's no CZ Bren 2 (aka Czech SCAR or Sensible SCAR) cartridge in 7.62x39 yet in-game, for the purpose of LARPing as GIGN.

One thing to be noted that's interesting is that the reasons why 7.62x39 is not as loved as much as a LEO/Mil round, are that the slow heavy bullet, and generally lower penetrating power are what have given it a new life as a very cheap robust hunting round in numerous platforms from civvie AKs to bolt actions, oh how times change.

AKs are heavy??? 90% of Aks in the wild are stamped and have comparable weight to average M-4s..

Bigger bulkier projectile that can deliver more energy to the target whilst having less armor penetration than 5.56 (which might be a advantage as main goal of the law enforcement agencies are to arrest people alive rather than kill them) might be more helpful. also the fact that 5.45x39 ,7.62x51 nato, 7.62x54r, 5.56x45 can not have a good subsonic loads ( the 5.45 subsonic loads were massive failure to the point where it couldn't leave the barrel of AK74 and was only able to be fired from AKS74U with alterations to it's gas system) Makes it even better for suppressing (also the subsonic 7.62x39 was what inspired 9x39) lastly the fact that you only need 300mm of barrel to get the best out of the cartridge makes it a appealing option and hence you see the AK-103,4 or Bren 2 in 7.62x39 still being in service.

'The AK is a rifle that needs no introduction'' *Proceeds to give an introduction*

they should put the 5.45x39 akm 74u or the 100 series, its the same as 5.56 but cooler

I really want the AK74M to be added. The caliber makes much more sense since it's closer to 556

the french GIGN uses 7.62x39 a lot with their CZ Bren 2, because it packs a punch and is not as cumbersome as any rifle chambered in 7.62x51 NATO. Also, they care a lot more about stopping power rather than penetration. They made that choice of ammunition before .300 blackout became popular.

Also, 5.45x39 has superior wounding profile than 5.56x45, it's called poison bullet afterall. It's one thing to design high velocity rifle round that can penetrate, but AK can also be made to shoot one that slightly slower than AR-15's rounds but basically "flipping wildly" when stuck in flesh. And something like 9x39mm that chamber AS VAL/VSS Vintorez basically have this small pocket of air to allow more volatile movement of bullet into the flesh, even more messier wound that could be caused.

i know this video is old but you forgot the most important part about why people use AKs: they look cool

Ready or Not needs to fix it's optics, looking at some of those red dots is terrible lmao. It's like a yard away from your face.

"Not as accurate as an AR-15" God that shit triggers the fuck out of me, both rifles are accurate out to their effective ranges. Stop perpetuating this bullshit myth that the AK is inaccurate. My Saiga .223 groups better than my $1000 AR-15.

So what I got from this video is we should expect a polar bear boss fight in an upcoming Ready or Not update.

very good video plus 500 social credit

Love the legend of the Alaskan police AK's. Would love to study some high quality photos to build one with an Alaska state trooper theme !

Where is Val or Vintorez,why this weapon not in the game 😭

7.62x39 is an accurate round, its range is what is limited

you sound like dathi de nogla if he didnt have the irish accent

the actual reason is that they dont have a better one and dont want to spend money on the police rifle program. Like cmon, its Russia

I'm still waiting for them to add 5.45 variant and/or ak-74/12 (though it won't fit the game setting, it will be a good addition nevertheless) And an ability to finally fold your stock is also something that should be in the game :")

AK’s are just as accurate, the myth stems from a multitude of reasons, one being the 7.62x39 being fired out of a standard AKM 16.3in barrel has a MV of 2,300 Ft/s vs 5.56 coming out of a standard M4 14.5 in barrel at 2,970 Ft/s, reducing range for the 7.62 one of the many reasons Russians adopted 5.45 and giving a narrative that it’s not “accurate” wrong it just can’t reach as far shooter dependent tho, another reason which tends to be forgotten is it being widely portrayed to the the “bad guy gun” and the AR platform to be the “good guy gun” by media and cinema which is plagued with false information about firearms in general but you can see where that goes, and with penetration yes the 7.62x39 has potential to over penetrate then the 5.56 (but only on soft targets in comparison)such as just the human body itself. slower heavier rounds carry and retain their weight upon impact of soft targets, and don’t become fragmented when passing through, while smaller faster rounds such as the 5.56 preform better on penetrating hard targets IE, steel or ceramic plates or points of cover the enemy might take, but for soft targets small spitzer shaped rifle rounds like 5.56,5.45,.300blk become fragmented in soft targets at shorter ranges IE a CQB situation inflicting more internal damage as fragments pass through bones, tissue and maybe arteries. I agree there AKs at least 7.62 AKs aren’t the ideal CQB weapon in a law enforcement aspect because 8 out of 10 times your target isn’t wearing armor at least not plates either ceramic or steel, modern AK-74Ms,AK-105s or even a god forbidden 5.56 AK would be great I do hope to see a 105 in the game seeing as the FSB uses it for their law enforcement and CT operations. Also I’m not being a dick about it just a little correction the Mmmm the “it’s not as accurate” claim that’s already been a debunked gun myth for decades

I always have a blast with the AK. I really wish they add an official AK 104 eventually, it's still longstroke ofc, but as far as AKs go, it's pretty flat shooting. Interestingly, British SAS have shown some interest in getting a western carbine for 7.62x39, specifically an SBR for use where 7.62 is likely to be abundant. Nothing to do with law enforcement, but pretty cool nonetheless.

Have you heard of 5,45x39 tho? Lots of AKs are chambered in that and that's what most russian military and spec ops uses x)

Yes 7.62 is a bigger round but 5.56 is just as likely to over penetrate since it is really fast which makes it effective against body armor

AK switched from 7.62x39 to 5.45 quite long time ago.

300. Blackout JHP is op, can delete enemy after 1 shot in hand or leg

Fun fact: author used a video with russian hunter assaulted by a bear, but in the rest of that video hunter not just did not shoot the bear, but even make it out alive

Brother, in russia the flashbang police use is so powerful that depending on the size of the room and if there is no windows or the windows are closed, the pressure generated from the explosion can easily kill someone. Why would they care about over penetration? I mean, look at Beslan school siege they used multiple T-72 tanks into a hostage situation lol nice video anyways

I like the vid but there's no basis behind that statement of AKs are less accurate than the AR15 also comparing 762 to 556 isn't a fair comparison in my opinion because with the right ammo 556 going to go through a lot more than 7.62 will moving a lot faster

I'snt a lot of special forces used ak back in the cold war?

good choice comrade

1:08 those are military police, so they use the standard issue rifles like all the other mp's. While the Finnish police use G36's.

you say the 7.62x39 has a greater risk of over penetration, are you sure? It is a heavier projectile with a lower muzzle velocity than 5.56x45mm therefor lower chance of over penetration? Unless you are confusing it with a different NATO cartridge 7.62x51mm which I'm pretty sure will have a greater chance of over penetration?

This channel is going places

This gun will finally have a purpose when they release the polar bear level.

Why does it have such an inconsistent full auto rate of fire? it stutters for some reason

556 is fast and Break in to peaces inside a body. This create a big wound, a bear would Not survive that

The best thing about SLR47 is you just use the primary rifle with only a flashlight just fine

The 7.62x39 just punches harder, but has been proven to do worse against the 5.56x45 when it comes to penetration. It's slower, and heavier. There's not a huge difference; it is very a powerful round. But the 5.56 remains the "better cartridge", on paper that is. I'd assume that in theory, the 7.62x39 is generally better suited for combat (without taking accuracy into account, that is) due to simply packing a bigger punch thanks to the projectile having more mass than the 5.56's, potentially having more stopping power against targets both with and without body armor. Still. There's no question, 5.56x45 has better penetration all around.

I hate how they hold the weapon, why even put a grip?

"Police officers are meant to protect and serve" *wedges a suspect between a door"

You can almost write a whole book on AK myths. The reason it isn't used as much in the USA is primarily because it's been seen as the weapon of the enemy. Not due to any real negatives.

I mean a advantage the AK has is that it does exsist in many different calibers, like i would like to see one of the 5.45 or 5.56 variants in the game.

Finally a new video, great one!

I can't wait for the next update in Ready or Not where they add polar bears into the game as another hazard, making the ak a viable solution for clearing igloos and cabins.

5:15 having a supressor in cqb enviorment is bad here are the reasons; - increases the barrel length and it will be harder for you to clear a room without showing your barrel and will be harder to enter to room efficiently - it will be problematic to switch your sidearm because the supressor will be too hot to drop the rifle attached to your sling, that supressor will prolly burn your legs - firing inside a room without supressor will create more voice and pressure which will supress the enemies more succesfully, it will be like small and rapid flashbangs for them

7.63x39 is just as accurate as 556. AKs are amazing accurate when build tight and of high quality. Not the mass produced ak of the world. But a piece of art

3:30 best clip

Aks are the most badass looking guns ever, every one of them, nobody can tell me otherwise

I totally didnt get the point about how .223 is better at police operations than 7.62. Well first- 5.56 ment to deal max damage after penetration be it shattering or more violent energy transfer than bigger cal. Its bone blender and police need to arrest, not to execute. They're not counter terror. And bullets anyways will, if given the chance, overpenetrate many obstacles like dozen of drywalls, multiple doors and if shot too close even a brick wall (go look up how mosin-nagant in 7.62х53 almost shoots throguh rail. AK-74 and AR-15 might shoot through brickwalls). And main reason why some countries use ak for special operations is that army is traning with it and operators usually chosen from infantry or other branch. With police however its too complicated. Sometimes army trains them treating same as recruits, sometimes its armed forces of state agencies (taxes, border, anticorruptional bodies) and its something inbetween of PMC and millitia. Or its just police officers good enough to be trusted a gun PD can buy and traning provided by same department. Its a spectrum from "alot of funds no fredom" to budget judge Dredd cosplay honestly.

To say AKs arent as accurate is misleading. Yeah at 400 meters the AR will have a tighter grouping than most AKs but its not like you will not hit the target at 100 meters with an AK and will with an AR besides in CQB law enforcement engagements, weapon weight and how the ammo performs is more important than accuracy. You want a light gun that has little recoil and allows hollow point bullets to expand well to drop suspects easier and not have to worry about overpenetration.

It's trash; Alaska SWAT(who uses AK, probably because these deal with freezing much better than AR do) used normal length barrel AK as far as I have seen photos of.

AK is not accurate? where did you get your information? LOL, even Chinese-made type56 can shoot through 500 ft easily.

hold on, the Ak is only inaccurate to to unfortunately common manufacturing mistakes and the way the irons are used

I love using a Suppressed AK47 in RoN. It drops enemies faster than the SCAR that I was running

Very interesting.

"Not as accurate as ar15s" (In an cqb context) I feel that video is not as well researched.

"Overpenetration" SA58 would like to have a word with you.

you talk about 7.62x39 in the vid, and it's true for the game, but model in game it looks like modernised AKS-74U with AK-74M stock. AKS-74U was never chambered in this round. And there's no reason for it- would be too damn powerful for already lightened platform and shorter barrel- it weighs less than MP-5A3 and only 3 cm shorter.

Where is Val or Vintorez,why this weapon not in the game 😭

May your cheap, corrosive, surplus ammo ruin your gun amen

3:07 is that guy tom hanks or do I need to put my glasses on?

Lol 5.56 is more than capable of killing a polar bear, one shot to the right spot and it's dead, hell one shot to the main mass is probably enough to stop it in it's tracks. I think it's clear you have that movie or "common knowledge" more than actual reality, like calling the Ak reliable. Some forms of Ak are definitely not reliable, such as Chinese AK's, and they are indeed still of the AK platform so they do count. Also the "5.56 more accurate!" again it depends, 7.62 from a standard russian AKM is extremely accurate, and there is not a whole lot of difference noticeable over 5.56 until you get to very far ranges, of which are almost certainly irrelevant to law enforcement. For what 5.56 lacks in size, it makes up in velocity. Nevertheless it's still a rifle round, small diameter or not it will turn your insides into jelly that's been dropped on the floor (a literal quote from a trauma surgeon (Peter Rhee)). Both are extremely effective rifles and proven platforms, the most important differences between the 2 I will list: - 7.62x39 is a larger round - 5.56x45 is a smaller round, but is in general much faster (considering standard rounds fired from the same barrel length) - AR-15 type platforms generally have a wider range of customizability, with many picatinny rails apart of the body or able to be mounted to the body - Ergonomics, how a rifle feels in someone's hands is an important (but subjective) factor - How much ammo you can carry, due to 5.56x45 being an overall smaller cartridge, you can carry much more of it in the same space. This was in fact, widely considered the reason for the US military favoring it.

Most eastern police agency's use a mix of not only ak47's and akm's but the ak74 witch fires 5.45 by 39mm witch is similar to 556, not only that but the rifle that is seen in ready or not is literally NOT a real gun, its an aks74u frame with a akm pmag shoved into the bottom of it, it should fire 5.45 but with that magazine it fires 7.62??? kind of stupid but its not the only gun goof in the game, not only that but a US law enforcement officer likely would not be able to use that rifle due to some sort of code or some law. Or maybe even department policy on patrol rifles. For a selling point of making the game super realistic they kind of just fucked up on this one. Also, its been proven that yes the ak is reliable but it is just as reliable in an urban setting as a ar15.

HK417 with 7.62x51 is the supreme gun.

0:38 wait why you say "high caliber weapons with low penetration are not chosen" and then immediately after you say they over-penetrate? Either is a contradiction or I missed the point 'cause i thought a low penetration was a good thing

farewell of slavianka

Fun facts about the 7.62x39 round compared to the 5.56x45, due to the 7.62s fatter round with less powder it actually has a tendency to have less velocity meaning it will penetrate less than the 5.56, in a AK with a shorter barrel you could see how this would be seen as a better round to use compared to the 5.56 in many situations. 7.62 is also worse against armour since the round is bigger but with less powder since the projectile itself is heavier it also drops off quicker, the upside of this bigger round is that it makes it INCREDIBLY effective in terms of lethality, if you can land hits on non-armoured spots with JHP rounds that person is practically dead in 1-2 shots, armour would get hit so hard it would dent or shatter, causing heavy bruising. So this gun would most likely knock most people unconscious or on their ass with 1-2 shots to the plate carrier.

Whats the Music at the Begin?

Most use it because it's an AK, I use it because it's the closest I'll get to an ASh-12 in ready or not... We are not the same...

Just look at eastern europe

This is a really good video on AKs in law enforcement, just don't know what this has to do with Ready or Not

(5:16) In my opinion having no suppressor on your weapon makes it perform better in close quarters combat, the extremely loud noise from firing a weapon indoors paired with a bigger muzzleflash is quite disorientating for the person getting shot at.

3:15 *craps pants*

I tested all the guns in RON and found out G36 is easily the most deadliest weapon out there to go for deadly cleansing. It was very frustrating to shoot something like 3-4 rounds with any SMG and barely seeing any glimpse of surrendering or dying.

3:15 hah, u scared 😊

XboxAhoy at home:

AK is the best. It is an excellent and deadly weapon.

7.62x39 has way, WAY less penetration than 556.

Rifle is fine.

3:14 lol

RIFLE IS FINE

makes sense for places like alaska, it was made for a war in a snowy biome

zex

didnt think the RON AK used 7.62. thought it was based of the AK74 series. so 5.45MM

WAS THAT A 9 BANGER!?!?!?!?

the slr 106 is a 5.56

2:30 that's a nice 7.62 ak

imagine how compact it would be with a bullpup conversion

I like being the one guy that uses the AK cause honestly. The short package with an intermediate cartridge works great in CQB, working tighter corners is a big bonus. Also I just love the AK platform, the only thing I wish RON had was the p320 or a few dif cal glocks so I can run a glock in 45 acp. The only other rifle I would use is probably a Galil Ace I would love to see one of them get introduced.
