Nevertheless, the 7.62x51 is a full size round. But yea, pictures of them are everywhere in Iraq. As for the wobbling barrel(why was that?), was that true only for all AKs or just some? Most of the ones that show on Discovery on youtube happen to be Romanian made, which are some of the worst. And if that always happened....let's ask Golly to shoot his Finnish AK. (I don't really trust the wobble barrel.) Is it really the barrel? Most gas operated rifles today have the piston barrel, including the SIG 550 and Galil (Both of which uses the AK system, if there are different designs out there.)

What sight improvement did they have on the AKs? Even Type 81s and AK-103s have the old sights.......Thank goodness for Finnish ingenuity...... (Usable sights) The only advantage the Russian/Chinese sights (which even the Chinese are going to stop using) have is the compactness and ease of storage.... (It does not get caught by clothing as easily for concealing.)
------
So the navy are employing 95-carbines? Navies are general don't use guns, but if they do, shouldn't they use something ambidextrous? It may sound crazy in those straight corridors, but seeing how the ship is full of doors and that it is a maze, you probably could use some left handed weapons here. (And you are not going to toss in a grenade.)
Just a thought.

If you guess my argument wa based on the video... you are 100% right I do fire myself AK47s the last november and as far as I see happens the same thing but to be honest with you I have no idea where the AK that I was fire come from, (im sure wasn't the chinese Type 56s) but I don't only talk about the disadvantages, the AK series are unsurpased in reliability and penetration power and I recognize and respect that. But I bet For some reason China prefere the Newest QBZ95 Assault riffle over the chinese AK based desings such type 56s/81s and newest Type 03. Even the Russian army dind use AK series anymore they prefere the AN94 Assault rifle that they built in 1994, Both rifles the chinese QBZ95 and the russian AN94 prooves to b better than any AK desing in overall terms. Thats why both countries desist to use anymore the AK desing... at least in front line infantry troops, I don't think they will replace millions of AKs in a day even if the factories work overnight, U.S.A. takes few decades to put M16s in the hands of all soldiers, and we in our unit still use the outdated M16A2 desing in comparation to the front line troops than use M4A1s and M16A4s, so I really think many chinese and russian troops still using the AK desing... but not the front line troops and much less the elite units.

Re: Type 95 assault rifle

On the last picture, anyone seen this kind of muzzle brake before?

Well, the Canadian navy isn't the best. :D But problem is, where do they shoot and what do they shoot at? Shooting in a ship is like CQB in a maze. Nothing like shooting out to the sea. C-9 is MAG, right? (What are they doing free on a ship?) Come to think of it, what are these guns used for, in case of a boarding?

Well, it's a small calibre. If it kicked around like the horse from The Ring, I'd think that you better abandon the gun and let some third world country sell it to Singapore.

We don't know if the Type 95 uses the AK system. But yes, the front line units are receiving the 95s. (I hope the adaptation of a bullpup wasn't some sort of hissy-fit, China has been on a hurry it seems to adopting "radical" designs lately.)

The Canadian Forces deploys C-7 and C-8 carbines, plus MP-5's and SIG P226 pistols onboard their ships. I also believe C-6 and C-9 LMG's are also part of the personal weapons complement onboard CF ships.



They do get lots of personal weapons time. They may not be shooting at a range, but they are practising their shooting while on ship.

I know they dont get much time in the range thats why they resort to shooting out in sea. But the problem is what are they shooting at, they've got nothing to aim out, but only to get use to the weapon but not fully trained. Navy personal don't need or need that much shooting hours compared to the army anyway.

T95 apparently internal mechanism are based on previous rifle T81, and of course Spec Forces, Elite Forces would get T95 first, they get dibs on it. The concern is the attitude of some soldiers, cause M-16 troops complained about flaws in rifle and they got right on it in fixing. But so far issues with T-95 user they dont get much say or hearing its like "here you go get use to it" attitude.

Re: Type 95 assault rifle

There has been more than one modification of the Type 95 since inception. The external changes are small. One visible one I've heard about is the front hand guard.

Re: Type 95 assault rifle

although on ship target practice would be limited at port rifle training would be more available, when at see at least a basic understanding of a rifle is a necessity. the bull pup lay out( and although I hate to say that a bull pup can beat a conventional layout in any way )lends it's self to the roles of ship and police uses as police and navy forces would want a exceptionally compact weapon, yet with range of the full length would not need bayonet training ( I am still not convinced that a bull pup is as good at a bayoneting as a conventional )and uses of high capacity drum magazines.

Actually, they do practise while at sea. You think that during a 3 month deployment while at sea the sailors don't have an opportunity to practise using their weapons?

Re: Type 95 assault rifle

.......Dude, the question is if they shoot or not, it is if they know how to use it onboard rather than just shooting the gun. Maneuvers count also.

Bayonet isn't the only way of employing guns in hand to hand combat as everyone has seen in movies or play in video games...... And for those, I don't think even an AK would fare well, let alone a bullpup (which doesn't have the spots for holding the gun in some cases.) Kinda ironic that the bullpups don't work here when it was designed for CQB...

Re: Type 95 assault rifle

first point blank I said training would be limited not nonexistent. second as for a rifle with hand to hand built in from the start. nope. although the old M14 with it's heavy wood stock would do a number as a club.
