Great video

[coolbuddykermit]

cool vid bro. is this a century or interarms build? the added gun sounds arent terrible but maybe if you slowed the sound or stretched it it would sound more realistic?

[weaponeer]

@coolbuddykermit- I'm not sure who built this one (it's not mine), mine was at home during this shoot (I built mine), and this shoot was just to shoot a video on the new rifle he purchased. (I'm far easier being behind the camera when shooting video)

[EquipaPatriot]

I especially loved watching the portion of the video where the top cover was removed.

[THEKINGOFMETROPOLIS]

This vid would be ok but I can't stand the edited in gun sounds. Come one man what are you thinking?

[weaponeer]

@THEKINGOFMETROPOLIS - It's always the guys with no videos telling people how to produce videos. you have a mute button. if you use it you will end up with the same video without sound. High speed video does not capture sound, and people expect to hear a rifle shoot, otherwise it does not seem right, so they complain that the music is too loud and you cannot hear the rifle shoot. watch TV where they show high speed video, and you normally hear sound for that reason.

An awsome video man! VERY well done!

[Outlaw289]

[weaponeer]

@Outlaw289 - sorry, I don't listen to the gay music you listen to. lol

[TheGarbear14]

i live in new york, i hope i can get one of these made legal. chances are no. i hate new york state laws. ridiculous lies.

[TheGarbear14]

i hate new york state :( fkin assault weapons ban lies.

[WisconsinEric]

As can be seen near the end of the video, I am shooting with both eyes open. Since I am new to rifles I am not sure if that is the proper technique for rifles? It was difficult with those AK sights.

I always shoot handguns with both eyes open to reduce the risk of being blind-sided by a second attacker in a defensive shoot.

[weaponeer]

@WisconsinEric - shooting with both eyes open is perfectly fine, just harder to do

[akibmatf]

Wow, this is the BEST video I have ever seen on Youtube, not only in the category of AK but in the category of weapons. Great work!

The scene from 4:05 to 5:05 is amazing!

[weaponeer]

@akibmatf - Thank You

[albi131]

Definitely I am not a gigantic fan of slowmo videos but this one is incredible.

[GunWebsites]

One of my favorite AK variants .. had to sell mine to pay bills years ago.. this video was a treat

always cool to see an AK shoot without the dust cover

[Skragg101]

I am really liking these slowmo videos... its beautiful to watch the metal dance an intricate ballet that we normally would never think about... The amount of timing needed for these firearms to perform as flawless as they do is simply amazing..

[weaponeer]

@Skragg101 - The amount of editing that go's into making these videos is enormous, yet I still get two dislikes, and you can bet I will never get many votes for best production in the 2012 Tactical Viewer Choice Awards despit getting nominated. the super channels will win the award not because they have better production, but because they have more fans to vote for them...

[albi131]

Poland - FUCK YEAH!

[IsbianBlackheart]

Lol, should I be worried, that as soon as the rifle showed up my daughter started yelling mine? That is a sharp looking model.

[gunnwild1]

That's a good looing AK. It looks like the butt stock is a little short.

[DESERTHAWKIN]

Is this a century built rifle?

[weaponeer]

@DESERTHAWKIN - it was sold through Century, but it's not from the lot that had the incorrect twist rate causing the bullets to keyhole. I have one as well (this one is not mine) but I built mine from a parts kit with the original barrel.

[Jussi453]

have u tried finnish assault rifle rk-62

[scottdeshon]

one of the only firearms that looks natural on the ground :)

[DocTacDad]

Neat

[weaponeer]

@DocTacDad - thanks

[Jesses001]

That was enjoyable to watch. Good music and good visuals. It is hard to imagine such a solid object such as the rifle barrel flexing and bending until you see it from a high speed camera. It is also hard to imagine most firearms even work since they are normally rather simple until you see it like that, even if you understand the design.

[weaponeer]

@Jesses001 - don't forget top support this channel for best production in the 2011 Tactical Viewer Choice Awards

[999sharif]

it will be better if its 7.62 !! more power !!! i love the 7.62 !!! but i didnt know it sound like this !!!

[weaponeer]

@999sharif - Russia has been using the AK74 in 5.45x39 far longer than they did the 7.62x39 in the AKM due to field testing and wound results from the vietnam war, and dropped the 7.62x39 for the 5.45x39 even before the end of the War. The results were staggering enough to field the all new 5.45 right away. AK lasted 10 years, AKM lasted 16 yrs (7.62x39 was fielded for 27 yrs), and the AK74 has been in service for the last 37 yrs. Russia just announced the AK is now Obsolete. makes you think...

[MosinDragunov1891]

@weaponeer I thought they still make AK-series rifles in 7.62x39mm for special forces upon request.

[weaponeer]

@MosinDragunov1891 - they make 7.62x39 models for outside sales. 5.45x39 has much greater range than 7.62x39, and likely greater penetration as well. both of which are special forces requirements, it's unlikely special forces would be using a less capable round, especially when the special forces are calling for a better, more modern rifle. (spec ops is another thing. in that case you use the same ammo as enemy to mask operations)

[akibmatf]

@MosinDragunov1891 Only for CQB (urban warfare) situations, only situations where the 7.62 has advantages over the small calibre 5.45.

[kiwitedferny]

Beautiful rifle! Beautifuly filmed too.
