The AK-12 is critically reviewed as a failure in modernizing the Russian rifle platform, falling short of the AK-74M and AK-100 series. Key design flaws include a loose stock, an obstructive safety selector, and a shifting handguard impacting accessory use. Accuracy is comparable to the AK-74, but the dust cover optic mount fails to hold zero, and cleaning is significantly more difficult, especially with corrosive ammunition.

This in-depth review explores the AK74 and its 5.45x39mm cartridge, developed by the Soviet Union as a response to NATO's M16. It highlights the AK74's design improvements over the AKM, including a highly effective muzzle brake and lighter recoil. The video emphasizes the cartridge's advantages in weight savings, allowing soldiers to carry more ammunition, and its flat trajectory for effective 'Battle Zero' engagement.

The Palmetto State Armory (PSA) AK74 is a significant new release addressing a void in the US market for this platform. Initial testing shows excellent performance with nearly 1,100 rounds fired without issue, demonstrating low recoil and good accuracy. Internal inspection reveals quality components like a forged trunnion and correct bolt design, suggesting good durability for future endurance tests.

This InRangeTV video conducts a mud test on the Arsenal SLR104 (AK74) and Valmet M76. Both high-end AK variants initially perform well but ultimately fail when subjected to repeated mud ingress into the locking lug recesses, preventing the bolt from closing. The analysis suggests that while tighter tolerances help initially, the AK design is inherently prone to failure in such conditions once mud reaches critical areas.

The demonstration confirms the effectiveness of this brass-catching hack.

The Ruger Mini-14, chambered in .223 Remington/5.56 NATO, is examined for its 'weapon of war' status. The review highlights its modularity, demonstrated by a quick stock swap from synthetic to wood folding. Live fire shows its capabilities, contrasting its public perception with other firearms.
