Kalashnikov AK-12 (AK-200) Assault Rifle
Kalashnikov AK-12 (AK-200) Assault Rifle
Country of Origin: Russia
Manufacturer: Izhmash - Russia
Initial Year of Service: 2014
Overall Length: 945mm (37.20in)
Barrel Length: 415.00mm (16.34in)
Weight (Empty): 7.28lbs (3.30kg)
Caliber: 5.45x39mm Soviet; 5.56x45mm NATO; 6.5mm Grendel; 7.62x39mm; 7.62x51mm NATO
Action: Gas-Operated; Rotating Bolt
Feed: 30-round detachable box magazine; 60-round casket; 100-round drum
Muzzle Velocity: ; 2,950ft/sec (899m/sec)
Rate-of-Fire; 800 rounds per minute
Range: 2,000ft (610m; 667yds)

SVD-12 - Sniper Rifle; dedicated long-range sniper/sharpshooter/designated marksman variant with applicable optics, bipod support and longer barrel assembly.
RPK-12 - Light Machine Gun; 100-round ammunition drum support; heavy duty barrel; optional bipod.
Operators: Russia
The AK-47 altered the world military stage by becoming a ubiquitous combat system available to the general masses. The weapon proved relatively inexpensive to produce and, perhaps more importantly, it was a robust field performer with a reliable action and easy-to-operate in the "greenest" of hands. As such, the AK-47 - Kalashnikov's best known and easily recognizable assault rifle - went on to be found in all parts of the world.
The basic assault rifle form of the Russian Army will be chambered for the 5.45x39mm Soviet cartridge. There are two proposed NATO-standard forms in play - the 5.56x45mm NATO and 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge types. Additionally, support is expected for the 6.5mm Grendel and 7.62x39mm Soviet rounds as well. The firing action will remain consistent across all forms, however, and revolve around a proven gas-operated, long stroke piston utilizing a rotating bolt function. The AK-12 receiver will support the standard curved 30-round magazine, a 60-round AK-74-style casket or a 100-round drum (in the light machine gun role). Rate-of-fire is estimated between 600 and 1,000 rounds per minute based on configuration and cartridge size. Muzzle velocity is approximately 2,950 feet per second with an effective range out to 2,000 feet (again, depending on field conditions, selected cartridge and general weapon configuration). The AK-12 receiver will sport a more reserved ambidextrous thumb-actuated firing selector found near the pistol grip (as opposed to the traditionally large firing selector featured in AK rifles prior). The magazine release/catch will be located in its usual place behind the magazine well within easy reach. The gas cylinder will be set in its usual Kalashnikov arrangement just above the barrel assembly while the barrel will be capped by a new slotted muzzle brake. Another notable change is the relocation of the rear iron sight from the middle of the receiver top to the rear of the receiver (this will be complemented by a conventional forward iron sight just aft of the muzzle brake). The AK-12 will be capable of semi-automatic fire, a three-round burst mode and full-automatic fire as well as the requisite safety. The charging handle will be set along the right side of the receiver as will the ejection port. Picatinny rails are noted over the top of the receiver and the sides and underside of the handguard which will allow for multiple accessories to be fitted. Overall construction of the weapon appears to be a mix of steel and plastics (steel for the major receiver portions, gas cylinder and barrel while plastics being used elsewhere to save on cost and weight).
