This review compares the Norinco SKS Paratrooper (16.5-inch barrel) against a standard SKS (20.5-inch barrel) using empirical velocity data from a LabRadar. The standard barrel showed a ~100 fps velocity increase and a flatter trajectory, resulting in 7.5 inches less drop at 500 yards. While the Paratrooper offers better handling for CQB, the standard SKS is recommended for its distance performance and affordability.
This video from AKOU focuses on the Norinco SKS Paratrooper, specifically questioning the utility of its bayonet. The description also includes a call to action to support AKOU and shop at their store, indicating a potential for product placement or affiliate marketing. As the title suggests, the content will likely involve a discussion or demonstration of the SKS Paratrooper's features and functionality related to its bayonet.
The InRangeTV mud test reveals the SKS Paratrooper's significant vulnerability to dirt and mud, leading to frequent malfunctions like failures to extract and go into battery. While the rifle's open-bolt design allows for manual clearing with tools, it performed worse than the AK-47 in these harsh conditions. The test highlights the SKS's susceptibility to debris interfering with its bolt.
