Minute of Mae: Russian SKS 1945
The Russian SKS 1945 is a gas-operated, semi-automatic carbine chambered in 7.62x39mm, notable for its 10-round fixed magazine loaded via stripper clips. Despite a brief frontline service, its ruggedness and accuracy ensured a long secondary role globally. Key features include a folding blade bayonet and a design that blends older fixed-magazine concepts with modern intermediate cartridges.
