    AK 47s Replacement AN 94! ! ! (vid @ bottom)

    in Military chit chat

    Posted · Edited by Roach

    The AN-94 (sometimes called the "Abakan") is an advanced Russian assault rifle. The initials stand for Avtomat Nikonova (after chief designer Gennadiy Nikonov) Model of 1994.

    The Russian Government formally declared the AN-94 to be the successor and replacement to the Kalashnikov series of rifles following the Project Abakan

    advanced assault rifle trials in the USSR throughout the 1980s.

    Gennadiy Nikonov's system reportedly outperformed its many remarkable

    rivals significantly, proving better than the AEK-971 and the AKB-1 (predecessor of the AK-107). The Nikonov AN-94 was commissioned for general issue to the Soviet

    (now Russian) armed forces, with mass production scheduled at the

    traditional home of the Kalashnikov assault rifle, the historic Izhmash state factories.

    The stated great advantage of the AN-94 system is its ability to

    delay the recoil force until the fired round/s have left the barrel,

    much like the AO-62. This, it is claimed, enables more 'hits' on target under the most adverse combat conditions.

    The AN-94 offers a unique two-shot burst function at a stated 1800

    rounds per minute rate of fire. The Nikonov mechanism fires the second

    shot in the burst fast enough that it escapes before the recoil of the

    first shot is felt, thus potentially allowing the two shots to hit the

    same point, for example to aid in piercing body armour.

    The most conspicuous identifying feature of the AN-94 is its magazine

    which is canted several degrees to the right of center (when viewed

    from a firing position). This is a necessary design function to

    accommodate the unique ammunition feed mechanism. The AN-94 is chambered

    in the same 5.45x39mm M74 cartridge as the AK-74, and it utilizes a rotating bolt to lock the action. Gennadiy Nikonov and his engineers used the Russian term смещенный импульс свободного затвора (smeshchonnyy impuls svobodnovo zatvora) to describe the rifle's method of operation, meaning "blowback shifted pulse."

    When a round is fired, residual energy from the propellant charge in

    the cartridge acts upon the safely locked breech and bolt carrier.

    Simultaneously, a quantity of powder gases driving the bullet through

    the barrel is tapped and acts upon the piston in the gas tube located

    above and parallel to the barrel. The movement of the piston and its

    connecting rod acts upon the locking bolt, causing it to rotate and

    allow the breech to safely open. This initiates the extraction and

    ejection cycle for the spent round of ammunition.

    Unique to the AN-94, the barrel, gas tube, receiver, and bolt carrier

    all exist as a single component group moving back and forth along an

    axis parallel to the bore, suspended within what the Russian

    manufacturers call an Effect-Envelopethe external composite

    fibre/polymer stock. Simply, this function separates the events inside

    the rifle from what the person operating the weapon actually experiences

    (i.e. low recoil).

    The motion described is also employed by design to drive the unique

    rotary conveyor mechanism that performs the separate ammunition

    pre-feeding cycle that is key to the extremely rapid two round burst

    function that defines the AN-94 system. This high rate of fire (1,800

    rounds/min) also offers two initial shots on selected fully automatic

    fire, with following rounds cycling down to 600 rounds/min. This offers

    the operator the unique tactical advantage of trigger-controlled fire

    selection.

    This is a world first. A unique FPS simulator that turns gaming into

    reality as you move, aim, fire and get shot within a 360-degree

    immersive environment.

     

    Using a pre-release copy of Battlefield 3

    and a team of top technology experts from across Europe we've built a

    truly one of a kind simulator.

     

    Centred on the world's first,

    portable omni-directional treadmill (designed by Swedish company MSE

    Weibull) the simulator lets you control the movements of a Battlefield 3

    character with your own body. Other key technology employed includes:

    12 paintball markers that allow the player, in real time, to feel the

    enemy gunfire experienced in the game; a wireless gun system; ambient

    LED lighting; and an Xbox Kinect camera hack
