Duration: 12:10

This video from DemolitionRanch tests the extreme durability of a budget AK-47 by subjecting it to .22 LR and 9mm ammunition impacts. The firearm initially withstands .22 LR rounds, showing damage but remaining functional. However, after being hit with 9mm rounds, critical components like the trigger and charging handle are destroyed, rendering the rifle inoperable. The test demonstrates the resilience of the AK platform to a certain point, but also highlights its vulnerabilities under sustained, high-caliber abuse.

Quick Summary

A budget AK-47 demonstrates surprising resilience against .22 LR impacts, remaining functional. However, 9mm rounds fired into the receiver can destroy the trigger and charging handle, leading to complete failure and preventing ignition even with remote firing attempts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How durable is a budget AK-47 against .22 LR and 9mm rounds?

A budget AK-47 can withstand .22 LR impacts on its stock, grip, and receiver, remaining functional. However, sustained fire with 9mm rounds into the receiver can destroy critical components like the trigger and charging handle, rendering the rifle inoperable.

What happens to an AK-47's functionality after being damaged by .22 LR rounds?

After .22 LR impacts, an AK-47 might lose its semi-automatic cycling capability due to spring damage. It can still function as a bolt-action rifle, allowing the hammer to drop, but internal damage may prevent ignition.

Which parts of an AK-47 are most vulnerable to high-caliber impacts like 9mm?

The trigger assembly, charging handle, and dust cover are particularly vulnerable to damage from 9mm rounds impacting the AK-47 receiver. Internal components like the recoil spring and guide rod can also be bent or damaged.
