With the proper mindset, training, and practice, soldiers armed with both the AK-47 and M16 are quite deadly. However, the M16's internal-piston gas operation system, straight-line recoil design, and smaller caliber give it less recoil than the AK-47 and make it easier to control in full-auto. [152]
Animation of the Vickers muzzle booster operation, showing the expanding gases pushing the barrel to the rear relative to the cooling jacket. A Vickers-type muzzle (or recoil) booster, the "typical" type, consists of two parts: a flared "cup" on the muzzle of the barrel, and a perforated tube around the end of the muzzle, attached to the main body of the weapon.
The AK-108 is a version of the AK-107 chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO, and the AK-109 is a less known and produced version chambered in 7.62×39mm. Like the rest of the AK-100 series , these newer AKs use synthetic materials such as black fiberglass-reinforced polymer for the pistol grip and heat shield .
A muzzle brake or recoil compensator is a device connected to, or a feature integral (ported barrel) to the construction of, the muzzle or barrel of a firearm or cannon that is intended to redirect a portion of propellant gases to counter recoil and unwanted muzzle rise. [1] Barrels with an integral muzzle brake are often said to be ported.
Later Kalashnikov started offering the AK-107 / AK-108 / AK-109 (in order 5.45x39, 5.56x45, 7.62x39) models. Externally they are very similar to the AK-100 series (with some minor differences) and are offered in the same calibers. Internally they use a radically different gas system and incorporate the Balanced Automatics Recoil System (BARS).
