S&T Motiv, formerly Daewoo, is planning to bring production of their classic K1 and K2 rifles to the US market. The K1 is an AR-15-like direct impingement carbine, while the K2 utilizes a more reliable AK-style long-stroke gas piston system. Both rifles served as standard issue for the South Korean military and are expected to be offered with US-compliant barrel lengths.

This video from Forgotten Weapons, presented by Ian McCollum, offers an expert-level review of the Daewoo DP51 (K5) and its modern iteration, the Lionheart Vulcan-9. McCollum delves into the unique 'Triple Action' fire control system, explaining its mechanics and benefits for accuracy. The review highlights the pistol's development history, design influences, and its adoption by the South Korean military.

This expert review by Mark A. Keefe IV, Editor-in-Chief of American Rifleman, details the Daewoo DP51 pistol. It highlights the unique 'Fast Action' or 'Tri-Action' trigger system, originally developed for the South Korean military as the K5. While the pistol features conventional design elements, its trigger offers a distinct operational advantage by allowing the hammer to be decocked forward while maintaining a chambered round, resulting in a light first-shot trigger pull. The review also touches upon its import challenges in the U.S. and notes significant accuracy issues found during testing.

The Daewoo K2 is a hybrid assault rifle combining AK-style gas piston operation with M16-style bolt and magazine compatibility. Its accuracy is highly dependent on barrel twist rate, with early imports (1:12 twist) struggling with heavier bullets but performing well with lighter 55gr ammo. The military version features a faster 1:7.3 twist for modern ammunition. Despite accuracy challenges with specific loads, the K2 demonstrated effective long-range engagement capabilities.
