just one small problem (I'm happy to stand corrected), there's one up the spout, and the finger is faster than the second foot.
Does AK 47 fire from "Bolt Open" position? There my not be one shell in the chamber if that is the case. Think Thompson Sub machine gun.
Dazzle your opponent with fancy foot work!
It looked to me as though the second foot retracted the bolt, ie. first foot detaches the magazine second foot sets the bolt back, so it might fire with a closed bolt.
ak47 expert please?
AK47 fires from a closed bolt.
He'd have to hit the mag release with the first kick then hit the bolt handle to eject a chambered round, and he'd probably get a buttstroke to the chin or a muzzle jab to the belly before he got this to work.
USMC 1964 to 1994, own a number of AKs, gunsmith, multiple black belts, and I don't think I could do it, doesn't mean it can't be done, just that I personally doubt it without the cooperation of the gent holding the AK. His feet are not that fast, and his kicks are rather clumsy.
Agree real AK47 fires from a closed bolt, but some of the commercial ones, sold in New Zealand as AK47, fired from an open bolt and we’re semi auto only.
Interesting variation of the AK47 there in New Zealand, thanks!
I wonder why they chose to make it fire from an open bolt on a semi auto. The original civilian semi auto Uzi carbines were set up that way, to look more like the real Uzi subgun, and the Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) here decided they were too easily converted to full auto fire, so they had to be registered.
The later semi auto Uzi's fire from a closed bolt. The full auto AK47's I have, and faced in Viet Nam, and the semi auto versions (AKS really, not true AK47's) fire from a closed bolt, they have enough bolt mass and chamber mass to absorb and bleed off the heat from sustained firing so that a cook off (accidental discharge caused by a build up of heat in the chamber and bolt face causing the primer to ignite, and occasionally ignite the powder charge ahead of the primer ignition) is / was pretty rare. Many belt fed machine guns and some mag fed subguns are open bolt firing for that reason. The HK MP5 I used as a Federal Agent after leaving the USMC fires from a closed bolt, not prone to cook offs. Firing from a closed bolt usually results in greater accuracy for a subgun, as the bolt slamming home to fire on an open bolt model can drive the sights off the target.
