My friend, wealthier than I, recently purchased a class III krinkov. He got to shoot it for the first time today, so I tagged along. It is a blast! (literally)
As per some of the discussions I have seen regarding it, I can say with certianity that the muzzle attachment does very little "flash hiding". In broad daylight there was a very visible fireball coming off the muzzle. I'd hate (love) to see what it is like without it! We put 500 rounds through it, including three chinese 75rd drums, with not one problem, testament to the AK's solid design. The string of shells coming out of the side of it is truly a sight to behold. Damn, does that thing get hot! we had the wood handguard smoking at the end. I would have to say this is definately a close quarters weapon, as in FA it was not any too accurate. It sure was fun though. BTW, it was in 7.62.
I know I should have posted this in Full Auto, but I wanted to put it where it might actually be seen.
