Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key ballistics for the Romanian Micro Draco AK-47 pistol?

The Micro Draco's 5.9-inch barrel, using Red Army Standard 123-grain FMJ, averaged 1752 FPS and 838 FT/LBS of energy. This is considerably less than the 2350 FPS achieved with a 16-inch barrel.

How accurate is the Micro Draco AK-47 pistol?

Accuracy is limited, with bench testing at 25 yards producing 2-2.5 inch groups, considered poor. Off-hand shooting at 50 yards resulted in only 2 out of 4 hits on target, indicating challenges with precision.

What is the function of the buffer in the Micro Draco?

The polymer buffer in the Micro Draco serves to prevent the bolt carrier from derailing, rather than absorbing recoil. The firearm also features an extremely short gas piston.

What is the current availability and price of the Micro Draco?

Originally retailing around $800, imports have halted, leading to high aftermarket prices. Century Arms is reportedly working on securing more units for the US market.
