"New" way was 5 seconds (:07-12), "Old" way was 4 seconds (:27-31). And the "Old" way isn't going to involve dropping your fucking weapon when you're in the heat of the moment.
I dont care who you are, unless you have a fireing line then speed reloading is somewhat useless. NOTHING beats a good duck and cover... for your life I mean... your life is important, right? (BTW im not criticising the video, just the tubers who are on a MW rampage)
well your comment doesn't make sense but i can still tell wut your trying to say, and the chances of having blood on you in combat are very high and blood is very greasy on your hands and kills dexterity. Most of the time when someone fighting next to you gets shot (no matter what the range) your gonna have to help fix him and your gonna get bloody. Secondly you may get shot yourself and not die, if this gets blood on u or incapacitates EITHER arm, hand, shoulder, or clavicle, you cant do this.
@boombap420 so in that situation (which is extremely likely) you are gonna be re-teaching yourself the normal way to load an ak, which defeats the purpose of training these things in altogether. Now add in the nerves and adrenaline overdose you just got from watching your buddy's life slip away right infront of your eyes, and trust me... youll get why the original way is better. O and btw alot of enemy encounters occur at very close ranges. especially tailban ones. too much COD stuckinhome for u
@boombap420 How many times are you going to be right infront of a taliban and get blood all over you? Guns = Ranged weapons not beat someone over the fucking head with them.

why some please tell me is the ak charging thing on the right side, ppl have to reach right over or under the gun to reach it, would make more sence on the other side???
@TheJimsterJim It cuts down on the amount of complicated machining that has to be done, the handle is part of the bolt which already ejects brass on the right side.
Plus the original style USSR optics mounted on the left side of the rifle, so a charging handle there would have interfered with those.
Plus you can avoid the issue by reloading before the rifle is empty.
This is a terrible way to reload, the "old" way is far better when done smooth and slow because smooth and slow ends up being fast.
The balance on the rifle gets all screwed up when I try this and I don't have a lot of stuff hanging on my gun, just a light qaudrail. In a life threatening sitaution, you are going to be loosing balance with your rifle and fucking up the hole thing.
@jc2342 Uhmmm its like giving the Iraqi an M16 and expecting him to be as proficient as a Marine with it. Marines aren't trained with AKs, they do train but not as much as an Iraqi soldier.
I like the "old way" better. The "new" way seems too risky, especially if you're in the fight of your life. Get shoved, pushed, etc., there's a high risk of dropping the rifle. It can be helped with a sling, but you still have to take the time to recover. That's just how I see it.
i practice the second technique with my WASR-10, it feels way more sturdy opposed to hold the weapon into your shoulder with just your finger tips. plus you can keep your firing hand on the pistol grip at all times.
hey ARMY dude, the "New Way" is less efective, do it the old way, you have more control of the firearm, and it is faster. Sincerely- Brownnz. P.S. - though this does not mean much, it's how the Russian's do it.
@Brownnz92TNPfan I agree, the "new way" is less efficient. The "old way" gives you more controlled manipulation of the firearm and allows you to keep your hand on the fire control at all times.
@Kliffton415 - exactly, for instance, when you are holding the chargin handle, and somthing bumps into you, or knocks you down, for instance a RPG exploding near you, or maybe a mortar, or even just someone trips and knocks you down, then you will have more control of it, due to the larger object that you are holding, and beacuse of the weight of the rifle being more evenly distributed. The "ne way" is way less effective. Thanks for agreing with me. Sincerely- Brownnz.
@xundeadpkerx either way your gonna loose sight picture so that part doesnt really matter (all that matters is having that gun facing the enemy and getting back into the fight quick as possible...plus when shit hits the fan you aint gonna be doing any commando call of duty headshots..
@h1tm4n26 If you mean, going for the new mag while still firing with one hand, then well nobody would do that. It doesn't make sense to break your firing stance until the weapon is dry. Like your reloading so you have rounds to fire downrange, it doesn't make sense to waste the last few trying to speed up your reload.
@BigMaMaDawg - I counted them, as well as did my own testing, and every time I got 3 seconds with the "Old Way" and 5 seconds with the "New Way"... Plus I found that it is easier to hold the rifle the "old way" if you get shoved, hit, pushed down, or anything else, then by holding it with the charging handle in the "new way" Sincerely- Brownnz.
The new way looks awkward as ass and as ndcpro1998 said, risky using your fire control hand however it is in practice more efficient. Wonder how much more difficult it would be under pressure though.
I'm a US marine and i usually have slight of hand pro on the shooting range. But when i'm out in the field i preffer bling pro because if i don't my officer wont let me have both sound supressor and ACOG...
Do that while running. You'll see why that's the stupidest reload method ever and why it's only used by jackasses on the internet and dead people (who were dumb enough to try it in combat).
@spamin8r Yeah it doesn't look like that works while running. It would slip right off your shoulder and you would only be holding it by the charging handle... it would probably then slip out of your hand and hit the ground if it weren't for your sling.
If you're running you wouldn't even have the weapon to your shoulder. None of the traditional AK 'shortcuts' like mag-on-mag disengagement would be applicable if you're running. If you look around you can find Puzikas' AK reload videos where he does this while moving forward. Not moving forward very quickly, but around a steady advancing speed.
@PanzerRatten With the Israeli (expanded and lengthened) mag release for the AK, you can do the same procedure while running... just using the fresh mag to knock the empty one out of the magwell.
Problem with the first style is, you can't use it for tactical mag change. Meaning that if you have rounds left in your mag when you change, you won't need to pull back the slide...
According to a speznic solider the old way you call it is how it is done. And his demostration was very fast, me personaly, I just rather have the M4 and be done with it all...
@spetsnazkommando my spelkin may be off dude, but out of all i am willing to reconize the right way, and made it my bisness its right, give me a break....
I like the new method for reloading the clipz shown in this video and I can even do it faster than this guy, but I also practice using various other methods; some with retention, some without. The first method in this video is very fast compared to other methods, but requires a certain bit more dexterity. I've never been in a combat situation, but if I ever am, I probably won't use the speed reload just because my hands would be unsteady from adrenaline.
Yeah, the old way does seem a bit more stable, you're not trying to hold the weight of your rifle from a little nub on the SIDE of the gun + what everyone else says about the controls. Though with some practice I think the 'iraqi' reload may be just as good and is certainly a viable technique. I guess it really depends how fast you can get to racking the bolt.
ow stop it he s really good at fast reload maybe not a champion but really good though. Stop being noobs and talking of somethink you have no idea about
The "New Way " is more a liability, in that gloved, wet , sweaty or bloody hands and fingers could make you loose your weapon. Stick with what works, and what's proven.
umm ok im sorry if someone had a fucking name like was like a terrorist. if some ones name was osama im pretty sure you would think of osama bin laden dick
The second reload was very smooth, fluid. I really dont understand why the first method would be taught at all. I understand the importance to keep your weapon trained downrange but if youre using both hands wouldnt it be fast to drop it to a more comfortable position that would make the reload process. It doenst seem like you could maintain vis onany potential targets while reloading the first way.
@DonzeJ You have to check the chamber before a reload since the AK doesn't go into slidelock. So all you know is that the trigger fell and the weapon didn't discharge. You don't know if the gun is empty or if you had a failure to fire. By keeping his hand on the charging handle during the mag change, he eliminates two steps in the reload. I'm not saying it would be my preferred method, but that is the rationale behind it.
@longshanlung umm ok im sorry if someone had a fucking name like was like a terrorist. if some ones name was osama im pretty sure you would think of osama bin laden dick
IF someone is shooting at you, and you run dry, I suggest a new york reload (draw another loaded gun... such as your sidearm, that is what they are for). Use the handgun until you have a change to reload your rifle.
You can't hold the combat stance during a reload, get out of the way when you reload and when that shoulder moves you wont be able to hold the bolt back, and its gonna wobble and it will probably the butt will probably slip out of your shoulder. Unless you like getting shot.
I think that's a good idea however you might want to not hold back on the charging handle. It looked like it made it slower and unstable. You should probably just manually re-chamber the next round after your next mag is in the well nice and snug
@mlacey56 when your in a fire fight your not worried where your empty mags are at, its not like your going to fucking reload them during the fight. after its all over you go back and pick them up if you can and if you cant there cheap and the military can buy more
ok dude. just wait till that ONE situation where you have ammo but no magazines. I know you can usually pick them back up when you're done. I know they are dirt cheap. will you need to reload a magazine while in a firefight? Probably not.... thats not the point though. It's always the "what if" situation. practice for it and you will be prepared. your way of thinking...what if it DOES happen? you gonna wish you were near me and my magazines.... guaranteed.
It depends on the situation. If you're actively being shot at by the enemy, and you run your weapon dry, you should be doing a speed reload. Tactical reloads are for when you have some extra time to factor in the retention of the magazine. Again, it's all dependent on the situation. NO ONE is going to be doing a reload with retention with rounds flying their direction when seconds count.
@mlacey56 The problem is, if you're in a situation where the half second it takes to retain the magazine is the difference between life and death, you are just going to let the mag go. For instance, if you run dry clearing a room and there are still targets up. Let the mag go, get your gun back into the fight.
Standing in the open and holding a target in sights with an empty weapon - nice idea, eh. When bullets start flying in your direction, you're gonna hit teh deck or will be hugging a wall - that's for sure.
That's why you practice...I happen to find the second method clumsier and more difficult to do cleanly under stress even though it's the standard way of doing it.
The first way he does it is 110% wrong. Holding the entire weight against the shoulder by the bolt handle is impossible to do while moving in a stressful environment. If the buttplate of the weapon slips off the shoulder the weapon will be launched rearward from the recoil spring tension of the charged bolt and land on the ground, and if you were running it would most certainly slip. The 2nd method he demonstrates is how the Spetsnaz do it.
terrible method for reload, whats wrong with just ejecting the magazine first, then going for a fresh one... This hit-the-mag-release-with-the-new-mag is unreliable (as you can see, the one guy fumbled striking the mag release)
If you are in a position to need to reload faster than 5 seconds (bad guy 10 feet from you), then its time to switch to pistol.
This isn't Call of Duty 4. You can't draw your side arm any faster then it would take to load a fresh magazine with any more reliability. They're both equally bad situations.
Bottom line is this. If your magazine is dry and your 10 feet from an armed hostile target, guess what? Your SOL and JWF.
that's b/c their doing it in a demonstrative speed. this can be done much...much much faster...plus your hand is preoccupied with the mag messing up the fluidity of the mag change when it should be doing something else. Just like using moonclips vs. speedloaders.
@3of11 Time is everything in combat that's why, believe me after practicing hundreds of times it becomes instinct. The Marine obviously hasn't practiced but those guy's are great at whatever they learn.
In Iraq, don't the U.S. military use standardized M-16s?? Plus, the AK-47 is somewhat inaccurate despite the fact that it's very penetrating and fast speed. But i don't know much about this stuff plus i might be wrong.
U.S. military usually use the M4 carbine, which is a member of the M16 family. The Iraqi (and most 3rd and 2nd world military forces for that matter) use the AK47 and its variants because they're plentiful, inexpensive, easy to maintain and they're durable as hell. Not only that, but the 7.62 mm round it fires is equally inexpensive, plentiful and packs a pretty hard punch.
Any gun is always accurate out to a certain distance. However, recoil on a weapon forces the muzzle to climb, causing inaccuracy on higher recoil weapons, e.g. the AK47.
Havent shot the AR, but I know the reload is the only thing I dislike in my AK. The Iraqis form looks too unstable for me. I will use the second way he showed.
Id bet that even with all my practice reloading id swap mags out faster with an ar O.o. Drives me nuts
Ok went home and practiced this, did it maybe 30 times, and I got decent at it. Can snap the mag in with my left hand 3/4 times. MUCH faster. Thanks for the vid, I was wrong ;)
When you compare the M16 and AK reload seldom do you think about making that mag fit on the 16 when deploying the weapon. The shear fact that so many people talk about loading the AK is a sign that it's not easy. If you have an AK invest in drum mags like I did it's no excuse to not learn reg mags but it does give you piece of mind knowing that 75+ rounds later is when you have to reload. Even at night the SKS reload is better piece of mind then the AK.
The drum mag? Never used the AK, but 75+ rounds (7,62) doesn't sound like the weight I'd want to be fumbling with whilst trying to aim from a standing position. What's the weight on a full drum mag? 2 kilos? So.. 6 and a half kilos total? Woobly hands anyone?
I don't care what anyone says- Ahmed's technique RULES!!! I'd just like to see him do it as fast as he can, because that, I'm sure wasn't. He was doing it that slow probably so the cameraman could explain what he's doing. That technique is faster, better, and more efficient than any other technique i've seen an American come up with on youtube. Probably because most Americans like American weapons because the government wants us to like American weapons.
Thats fast reloading considering the age of the AK design. The magazine system is outdated and if you can reload like that in battle you're pretty damn good.
This guy isn't very good considering he was raised around AKs.There are thousands of Americans who can run an AK better than this Iraqi will ever be capable of.Beats the Hajji magazine reload fumble dance though,LOL
During combat, do soldiers just leave the magazine on the floor empty? If so, civilians over there have it better, we actually have to pay for spare magazines
Yes, the American army just leaves empty mags, bit of time waste if you were to try to put it in a drop pouch. BTW were do you come from so youpay for your mag?
"New" way was 5 seconds (:07-12), "Old" way was 4 seconds (:27-31). And the "Old" way isn't going to involve dropping your fucking weapon when you're in the heat of the moment.

The "New Way " is more a liability, in that gloved, wet , sweaty or bloody hands and fingers could make you loose your weapon. Stick with what works, and what's proven.

The second reload was very smooth, fluid. I really dont understand why the first method would be taught at all. I understand the importance to keep your weapon trained downrange but if youre using both hands wouldnt it be fast to drop it to a more comfortable position that would make the reload process. It doenst seem like you could maintain vis onany potential targets while reloading the first way.
DonzeJ 1 year ago
@DonzeJ You have to check the chamber before a reload since the AK doesn't go into slidelock. So all you know is that the trigger fell and the weapon didn't discharge. You don't know if the gun is empty or if you had a failure to fire. By keeping his hand on the charging handle during the mag change, he eliminates two steps in the reload. I'm not saying it would be my preferred method, but that is the rationale behind it.

IF someone is shooting at you, and you run dry, I suggest a new york reload (draw another loaded gun... such as your sidearm, that is what they are for). Use the handgun until you have a change to reload your rifle.

You can't hold the combat stance during a reload, get out of the way when you reload and when that shoulder moves you wont be able to hold the bolt back, and its gonna wobble and it will probably the butt will probably slip out of your shoulder. Unless you like getting shot.

megatron515 2 years ago
I think that's a good idea however you might want to not hold back on the charging handle. It looked like it made it slower and unstable. You should probably just manually re-chamber the next round after your next mag is in the well nice and snug
maggels143919 2 years ago
But the best way is not to empty it all up, but leave 1 in the chamber. The trick is to load a couple of tracers on the bottom of magazine.

the BEST way to reload is to figure out a way to retain your MAGAZINE.....how you think you're going to do a combat reload with no mag. retarded.

GR3B3N 2 years ago
@mlacey56 when your in a fire fight your not worried where your empty mags are at, its not like your going to fucking reload them during the fight. after its all over you go back and pick them up if you can and if you cant there cheap and the military can buy more
jw9626 2 years ago
ok dude. just wait till that ONE situation where you have ammo but no magazines. I know you can usually pick them back up when you're done. I know they are dirt cheap. will you need to reload a magazine while in a firefight? Probably not.... thats not the point though. It's always the "what if" situation. practice for it and you will be prepared. your way of thinking...what if it DOES happen? you gonna wish you were near me and my magazines.... guaranteed.
mlacey56 2 years ago
It depends on the situation. If you're actively being shot at by the enemy, and you run your weapon dry, you should be doing a speed reload. Tactical reloads are for when you have some extra time to factor in the retention of the magazine. Again, it's all dependent on the situation. NO ONE is going to be doing a reload with retention with rounds flying their direction when seconds count.
opmike343 2 years ago
@mlacey56 The problem is, if you're in a situation where the half second it takes to retain the magazine is the difference between life and death, you are just going to let the mag go. For instance, if you run dry clearing a room and there are still targets up. Let the mag go, get your gun back into the fight.

Speed reload= On the enemy's time. Gear may be lost.
Tactical Reload=On your time. All gear is retained.
Interesting method shown, but I think slipping could be a problem.

First way has no practical use (too clumsy to perform correctly under stress). The second reload is great.
Good to see the camraderie between US and Iraqi military members. Good stuff.
millerusaf 2 years ago
That's why you practice...I happen to find the second method clumsier and more difficult to do cleanly under stress even though it's the standard way of doing it.
CaptainColon 2 years ago
The first way he does it is 110% wrong. Holding the entire weight against the shoulder by the bolt handle is impossible to do while moving in a stressful environment. If the buttplate of the weapon slips off the shoulder the weapon will be launched rearward from the recoil spring tension of the charged bolt and land on the ground, and if you were running it would most certainly slip. The 2nd method he demonstrates is how the Spetsnaz do it.

terrible method for reload, whats wrong with just ejecting the magazine first, then going for a fresh one... This hit-the-mag-release-with-the-new-mag is unreliable (as you can see, the one guy fumbled striking the mag release)
If you are in a position to need to reload faster than 5 seconds (bad guy 10 feet from you), then its time to switch to pistol.
3of11 2 years ago
"Switch to pistol".
This isn't Call of Duty 4. You can't draw your side arm any faster then it would take to load a fresh magazine with any more reliability. They're both equally bad situations.
Bottom line is this. If your magazine is dry and your 10 feet from an armed hostile target, guess what? Your SOL and JWF.

that's b/c their doing it in a demonstrative speed. this can be done much...much much faster...plus your hand is preoccupied with the mag messing up the fluidity of the mag change when it should be doing something else. Just like using moonclips vs. speedloaders.

In Iraq, don't the U.S. military use standardized M-16s?? Plus, the AK-47 is somewhat inaccurate despite the fact that it's very penetrating and fast speed. But i don't know much about this stuff plus i might be wrong.
armageddonpeak 2 years ago
U.S. military usually use the M4 carbine, which is a member of the M16 family. The Iraqi (and most 3rd and 2nd world military forces for that matter) use the AK47 and its variants because they're plentiful, inexpensive, easy to maintain and they're durable as hell. Not only that, but the 7.62 mm round it fires is equally inexpensive, plentiful and packs a pretty hard punch.
OuchMyGlands666 2 years ago 3
Any gun is always accurate out to a certain distance. However, recoil on a weapon forces the muzzle to climb, causing inaccuracy on higher recoil weapons, e.g. the AK47.

Manda187 2 years ago
When you compare the M16 and AK reload seldom do you think about making that mag fit on the 16 when deploying the weapon. The shear fact that so many people talk about loading the AK is a sign that it's not easy. If you have an AK invest in drum mags like I did it's no excuse to not learn reg mags but it does give you piece of mind knowing that 75+ rounds later is when you have to reload. Even at night the SKS reload is better piece of mind then the AK.
ramairgto72 2 years ago
The drum mag? Never used the AK, but 75+ rounds (7,62) doesn't sound like the weight I'd want to be fumbling with whilst trying to aim from a standing position. What's the weight on a full drum mag? 2 kilos? So.. 6 and a half kilos total? Woobly hands anyone?

I don't care what anyone says- Ahmed's technique RULES!!! I'd just like to see him do it as fast as he can, because that, I'm sure wasn't. He was doing it that slow probably so the cameraman could explain what he's doing. That technique is faster, better, and more efficient than any other technique i've seen an American come up with on youtube. Probably because most Americans like American weapons because the government wants us to like American weapons.
