Frequently Asked Questions

Which rifle platform is fastest for reloads?

Based on the competition, AR-style platforms like the WWSD Commando and CZ Bren 2MS are objectively the fastest for reloads due to their ergonomic controls and familiar manual of arms, outperforming traditional AKM and bullpup designs.

What are the challenges of reloading a Steyr AUG?

Reloading the Steyr AUG can be challenging for those unfamiliar with its bullpup design. The manual of arms, particularly the magazine release and bolt catch, requires specific practice to achieve efficient and fast reloads compared to AR-style platforms.

Why are AKM reloads slower?

AKM reloads are typically slower due to the 'rock-and-lock' magazine insertion method and the absence of a last-round bolt hold open feature, requiring manual manipulation of the charging handle after each reload.

Who participated in the fast reload competition?

The fast reload competition featured firearms experts Ian McCollum (Forgotten Weapons), PSR, and Calvin (Firepower United), hosted by Polenar Tactical at their range in Slovenia.
