The Akaban won't get adopted. That entire system is a failure.

Quite honestly, it looks as if it recoils more than a standard AK-74, but maybe its just me. You think the Russians could do better with their amount of money and it being the 21st century and all!  [url=http://yoursmiles.org/p-m

i think they may have ruined a good thing. seems like they basically took a beautifully simple design (AK) and made it much more complicated.

but I'm not an expert on this stuff so it's just my gut feeling.

That is actually a fine ass rifle, but it's old news - I was it on a "guns of the world" episode YEARS ago, it came out in 1994.  The reciprocating barrel is makes it much more controllable.  It's got a two round burst, I bet you the double tap speed on it beats Jerry Miculek. 

Not gonna be adopted because of cost and complexity, but I would be surprised if their specialized door kickers didn't have it.
