The interview highlights how Botnia's designs aim to improve shooter comfort, target reacquisition, and overall rifle dynamics.

This video explores two options for acquiring an RPK-style firearm in 2026: building one on an AR platform or acquiring a Zastava M72 clone. The AR build features a 24-inch barrel and aggressive muzzle brake for sustained fire, while the M72 offers an integrated bipod, reinforced barrel, and a modern titanium suppressor. The presenter highlights the M72's effectiveness in reducing flash and noise to very low levels.

This guide outlines how to build an RPK-inspired rifle on an AR-15 platform. Key modifications include a 24-inch barrel for accuracy, a large muzzle brake for rapid follow-up shots, a bipod for stability, and a fixed stock for consistency. A side-charging upper is also suggested for easier reloading.
