Firearms in the Ukraine

[TenTea]

I wonder if the world will marvel at our war and weapons when they are posted on Tweeter?

I always figured the innerwebs and the grid would be down when the baloon went up for the big show.

I can’t wait for this shit to end, and parts kits start flowing.

Yes in 10 years or so, the surplus parts kits should be good.

it took a while for me to believe this was not a staged video. It isn't. It's only the third time I've seen a 7.62x39 AK in the war. American volunteer James Vasquez said he had one. I saw the second one today.

This fellow really needs to work on his mag changes and charging though:

1) They'll kvetch about the electro penciled forced serial numbers.
2) FTFY. Spelling is fundamental.

Watch the bottom video first. Still think that a DA/SA isn't a good idea? The pistol misfires twice and then fires on the 3rd try, possibly saving the life of the soldier on the right. Pistol is probably a Ukrainian designed and made Fort-12:

I believe this is a Ukraine update to the RPD:

I'd love to have that MP40!

I was so disappointed when the GSG MP40 turned out to be a turd.

MP40 in the Donbass
Observation: salty receiver and floppy stock makes me think this is one gun photographed several times, rather than multiple guns.

 

[Gator Monroe]

Has there been pics or vids with a Ukrainian using a Chinese Type 56 “ Spiker “ AK ?

 

[wanneroo]

Amazing those MP40s are still floating around the area after 80 years and the Soviet Union and all of that.
