A suped up AK74?

--Aric

A souped up AK (AKA Galil). I remember working with them in Colombia in the 80's. Wasn't nearly as impressed with it as all the "soldier of fiction" gun rag writers were. Ranked right down there with the Steyr AUGs in Ecuador and the G-3's in El Sal. He does have all the "in vogue" toys on it though. Next? :munchin Peregrino

Also, note the mag in the first pic. Not a standard Galil mag. Looks like a South African R-4/5/6 mag.

Aimpoint, Aimpoint 3x mag, Surefire 6p in some sort of offset mount(doesn't look like the Vtac one, probably Command Arms/Fobus), Railed handguard, Vert grip of some kind. What else?

Basically yes, The original manufacturer of that type of mount is LEI from the UK and if I recall correctly, Gemtech makes it under licence.

It's one crazy round, remember shooting these many moons ago, it would leave a long white flame outr the barrel. NOT very good carry rounds.

Bulls eye!

Commonly known as THV's, most weapons would need the feeding ramp polished in order to feed them.

The ones i had the oppurtunity of playing with were for various handgun calibers and were only available for self-loading, ie. one could only buy the head.

The feller that used to load would load 'hot' powder in the shell and then fill the hollow base of the THV head with powder.

As i said, a looong white flame would trail the round when shot.

These reach unbelievable speeds, but due to their weight (very light) slow down rapidly. They have been know to perive armour but their trademark is the vacuum created by the velocity and hollow base. I have only ever shot paper with these but believe "instant jello" is applicable when shooting flesh.

Regardless, i am much more secure with good 'ole factory loaded rounds for carry.

Full points onthe Striker,it was later adapted to US laws and sold/used as a US Streetsweeper with an 18'' barrel.

On #2:
Type: pump-action ("forward-back" handguard movement instead of classic "back-forward", moving barrel)
Gauge: 12 ( 2 3/4" - 70 mm chamber)
Length: 690 mm
Barrel length: 570 mm.
Weight: 3.9 kg empty
Feed: dual over-the-barrel tube magazine, 6 + 6 rounds capacity

The US "Streetsweeper" and all other high capacity box/rotary mag fed shotguns were declared,"Destructive Devices" same as hand grenades, Grenade launchers, Recoilless rifles, German '88's, etc. by the 94 crime bill I believe. Now all of those type weapons are more severely restricted and require registration and supplemental taxation just like machineguns do in this country. Land of the Free and all that.

Now, I believe #2 is called a "Neostead" it is also South African in origin and as you mentioned, works much like a conventional pump shotgun, only backwards.

Good stuff, Keep 'em coming
