Assault Rifle

Well by and looks of it, The gas is release forward directly cause the gun to push harder at shoulders, Making it more stable ?

Cant say much abt it, Most Muzzle braker/flasher do the opposite to lower the blow backs..

In a Google search I found discussions about cheap versions that did not function like the "real thing", whatever that is, and references to a Section 922r in the law covering "assault rifles."

The photo there reminded me that with the type shown at the bottom, the amount of dust and dirt (or snow) thrown up while firing from the prone position is reduced. Avoids revealing the firer's position too much.

Russian military pattern provides effective flash and recoil control. For 7.62mm, pre-ban, AK-47 pattern rifles with 14mm-1.0 left-hand thread barrels. AK-74 splits the flash. Open chamber with 6 gas ports keeps muzzle rise to a minimum. Krinkov has two gas ports with a flash cone to redirect muzzle flash. Slant redirects muzzle gas to almost eliminate muzzle rise.

Thank you all who responded.

I did some research on the Krinkov Brake and here is what I found.

Krinkov Brake is a gas expansion chamber attached to the end of the muzzle to allow for complete combustion and expansion of the bullet propellant charge. It is most useful in short barrelled Kalashnikovs, like the AK-74U pictured below:



Thus, even if the barrel is a 16" barrel or a 8" barrel, the bullet will come out with the same muzzle velocity. This works especially well for AK-74, but in an AR-15, shortening the barrel will result in a drop in muzzle velocity because all the propellant does not get enough opportunity to burn up and hence has less pressure to push the bullet out.

A similar attempt was made by OFB-RFI with the INSAS short barrelled version. To compensate for the short barrel, they added an expansion chamber. The 5.56 cartridge used in the INSAS packs a lot of punch and AFAIK, was cited to be too powerful for a short barrelled gun. The PDC or expansion chamber was probably done to ensure the bullet does not lose its punch and at the same time to prevent too much muzzle flash.

The added bonus is that the expansion chamber prevents a lot of the propellant from burning off outside the barrel, and thus doubles up as a flash suppressor. Of course, the conical end of the Krinkov Brake also helps in that regard.

The two pieces at the bottom (in the quote above) are not exactly meant to offer expansion. The one with the oblique cutaway actually sits on the muzzle facing top-right (from the rifleman's position) and directs more of the expanding gas in the top-right position to compensates for the top-right 'jump' that typical Kalashnikovs experience. As the rifle, on firing, tends to move to the top-right position, the reaction from the top-right ejecting gas compensates for that with a bottom-left push. This increases stability. The other piece has bi-directional ejection and is probably meant to encourage gas to move in two opposing directions, thus providing no lateral movement and so that part of the backward reactive force is reduced and this is probably one reason why AK-74 has much less recoil than an AK-47.

W.r.t. the latest picture that was quoted, if the bottom-right muzzle accessory was installed in a way that one of the two cutaways were facing downwards, it would still throw up a lot of dust. The bottom-left oblique cutaway tends to face upwards in most installed AKs, but is not exactly upwards, but top-left facing. Therefore, while it definitely helps prevent the rifle throwing up dust when fired from a prone position, its main function is to increase stability.

Notice in the image below, how the oblique cutaway is not facing exactly upwards but facing top-right (from the operator's perspective) or top-left (from the camera's perspective):

Winchester Introduces Blind Side Waterfowl Ammunition





Not sure how good this round will be in real warfare, but it sure sounds like an improvement towards directing most of the pellets in the target zone:

I notice the shooter's fingernails are too long for properly field-stripping and cleaning her weapon, her hair is too long, and her headgear is not proper issue.

Question is whether this is available in 00 shot size. Shot size shown is for geese.

If you examine a bit more you could see her tummy exposed (at the end of guns magazine ) . the conclusion -she is a model

She looks like a model not any soldier. Yummy she is good. She can kill even without this gun.

You guys are DRDO photo nuts.....

when will DRDO progress beyond photos ???
