The AK-49S fires the 9mm WinMag cartridge.
210 grain subsonic or 147 grain supersonic.
It is designed from the AK-47 to work most reliably with a suppressor.
hehe ,, the “AK-49s” is the real name of the “AK”.. through a blunder similar to that of the “RS-71”,, the president read it wrong,, an everybody called it that,, so they changed it to SR-71.. so just like the SKS,, the AK was NOT suppose to have a number behind it,, but the foreign press put the original manufacturing date behind it ,,, an it stuck… (?? how many other russian weapons have the number behind it..???) oh yeah the “S” is for stamped.. until 1952 the receivers were Stamped..
so this (ak-49) is just a rebarreled 7.62 to 9mm x39 (SP-5),, in 2000 the USSR designed the Ak-9 to use the SP-5 (210 grain bullet) round,, but ended up going with the VSS Vintorez,, so as NOT to confuse the rounds….
also there is the SP-6 (210 grain steel core bullet) light armor round…
THIS is all useless info.!!! im not telling you all this to change the comic,,, ( i like it as is.!) ..
Well, it was named by the modern manufacturer in Jerico who wanted a powerful weapon for polite people.
Using a supressor is just good manners, y’know?
The “AK” is to honor the original designer.
The “4” is just there because it wouldn’t be right without it.
The “9” is because of the bore, and the “S” is for the suppressed version.
It’s very popular in the civilian market, because you can lock out the full-auto function if you
don’t want to inadvertently waste some very expensive ammunition.
and i would say they made it green ,, so as not to confuse the 9mm vs the 7.62…
also more useless info,, the sp-5/6 rounds are only good to 400 meters… they don’t have the powder charge to push past that…
an further more,, full auto is a waste.. (in my opinion) .. the typical solder does not need full auto,, that’s what the saw, 60, or crew served weapons are for… military study,, in Vietnam 98% of the rounds fired on full auto hit nothing… the M-16A2 does not have full auto.!!!
..expensive ammo.. the M-134 Minigun costs about 1500$ a minute to shoot,, thats on slow fire,, or about 4000$ on fast fire ,, an costs about 6000$ per ammo can…
I always felt that full auto is a good way to force and attack group into cover, or to take
out a squad or such that’s grouped together. Otherwise it’d force those same into cover.
The VK had a good idea, much to the dismay of the patrols. They have snipers in the
trees and have small teams hiding in the foliage to strike at any patrols walking in the
jungles. They’d open fire with auto-guns, then the snipers hiding above and behind the
patrol to pick off them from cover. My GED teacher had that happen to his patrol and
told me in detail. He even showed me the scar on his calf where the sniper got him.
