  • I've seen the Polish special forces vid and your vid and don't understand why the rifle needs to be rocked right and left before stripping the mag and reloading. I'm an ak owner and I'm curious what the reason is.

  • Yes, it is for a visual conformation of the ejection port/breach. Similar to the "S" portion of S.P.O.R.T.(slap-pull-observe-r­ack-tap) than many are use to on the AR platform. It is a step that some may argue is not nesessary for the AK. I am not entirely dogmatic about this approach. It's more a matter of what you are comfortable with. I do it much slower than some. If it is done too fast your ability to actually see what is going is greatly hindered.

  • Looks nice, but it might be a problem if you want to carry more than just a couple. I bet it would be good for competitions though.

  • As Tarrzzann has eluded too. Not everyone has a need for a 270 round load-out. Depends if you are looking to configure your, "tactical package" for a more low profile approach. Or as I was demonstrating in the video it might be placed there as nothing more than a supplement in case of an injured arm scenario. A "just in case" set-up.

  • @skybari I agree with you. I served in the finnish defence forces and to me that kind of throwing of magazines is also quite unnecessary.

    The mag change can be done almost as quickly by not dropping the mag. Just keep the mags parallel change so that the empty one stays in ur hand then quickly rack the slide (hand over the receiver) (at this point ready to fire) and then just slide the mag to the dump. With out the rocking motion. Maybe just my preference..

  • you lose fine motor skills when stressed (a.k. a. a firefight) this training forces you to make gross motor skills in an effort to "flick" the magazine out of the receiver. i think the first rock is so he can visually check the camber, the second is to line up the magazine well to receive the fresh magazine. I have never had any training with the AK-47 weapon system. so i am just speculating, but this is my best guess.

  • otacon: Lower capacity mag holsters are for people who dont have a need for high volumes of ammo,. Some missions/tasks dont require as much ammo and may even require increased concielability. therefor, lower cap. ammo holster.

  • Awesome. but...maybe a black shirt wasn't the best choice. great mag changes.

  • Great video and a great system. Perfect reloads too.
