- Compared with the previous fourth generation Kalashnikovs (AK-74M), AK-12 has 18 design features.
Firstly, due to the displacement of the mass of the bolt group and reduce recoil shoulder improved shooting accuracy, and secondly, there was improvement in ergonomics: the introduction of bilateral fuse-switch type of fire, the two-way button and slide stop latch rearward displacement of the store allows them to operate with one hand, holding weapons (without removing it from the handle at the same time as before). Thirdly, there were built Picatinny rail rigidly fastened to the lid of the receiver for mounting attachments (sights, rangefinders, grenade launchers, flashlights). In addition, the muzzle device machine enables the use of rifle grenades foreign production. Thus, the new AK became universal. Testers noted and increased usability: new folding in both sides of the telescopic butt, more ergonomic pistol grip, adjustable strap and butt plate. Moreover, it is now possible to keep the fire in three modes (single shot, with a cut-off in three shots and automatically), and the barrel was replaced. Useful know-how can be called and the slide stop, which reduces the time of preparation for battle and replacement shop.
- If we compare the AK-12 with the best examples of automatic weapons, the armament of the largest armies in the world, then again Izhmash development will benefit on a number of indicators. Firstly, rate: no machine can not produce 1,000 rounds per minute. Secondly, this is still a terrific versatility: it can be virtually any type of hang grenade launchers, including foreign production, as well as sights. By the time of preparation of weapons to shoot him too, has no equal - AK-12 at the rate of 7 seconds. Moreover, the returns from AK less than its foreign counterparts, as our 5,45h39 mm submachine gun cartridge has a recoil momentum of 0.5 N / s, and the NATO cartridge 5,56h45mm - 0.6 N / s. Machine is equipped with an effective muzzle brake, which also significantly reduces recoil. All automatic rifle equipped with only foreign flame arresters are not quenched returns. He has unsurpassed Sighting range - 1000 meters. Another important competitive advantage of the AK-12 fighter will be able to produce all the basic operation of the machine - switch fuse, change and distort the shutter store - with one hand. If a fighter is injured or his other hand is busy with something, he will still be able to produce all the operations with a gun.
- Obviously, the AK-12, much technically and structurally perfect than his "grandfather" AK-47. Nevertheless, based on the AK-12 is still the same awesome reliability, which has become the main feature of this remarkable weapon. And while the great simplicity and reliability are maintained in products Russian gunsmiths, will continue the work and the creator of the legendary machine in the world - recently passed away Mikhail Kalashnikov.
