Sorry about your friend.

But
You have clearly never fired an old model Ak before and as such you have no idea about the amount of recoil attached to it.

Ak47 and precision should never be used in the same sentence.
A platoon of well trained AK47 wielding soilders
And
A platoon of well trained FN SCAR wielding solders.

Who do you think has an edge over the other?, giving that they are both masters of marksmanship with their separate rifles.

Take out the wood, add polymer. Change the butt-stock to polymer, add rubber at the end of the butt-stock to help reduce recoil pain on the shooter.

Add a polymer foregrip and a polymer magazine to improve accuracy and reduce weight respectively.

Add an AK-74 muzzle brake or any other good muzzle brake design. Improvement Would reduce re-coil, and improve precision.

Change pistol stick to polymer.

Add polymer to the hand guard and a polymer grip. it reduces the weight of the rifle, and allows you add picatinny, so we can mount accessories. E.g laser dot/ sight. These improvements Would improve precision, recoil, weight and accuracy.

An EO TECH sight would be great but it's battery would eventually run out,and it's kinda expensive. we can go for more affordable sights, mespro is great, or any holographic sight. Improvements Would improve precision.

Foldable butt-stock to give my AK that carbine feel. Improvement would allow the SF soldier conduct room clearing and CQC with ease.

In all, a 5.56 would always be more accurate than a 7.62, however most fighting occurs in a 300 meters- 400 meters area. In this area, they are the same.

Forget about that above 500 meters shots, even well trained devgru / delta/ SAS personnel would find it difficult to hit a target above 500 meters.

Personal preference : change rifle colour to desert Camo.

In all, with these up-grades on my AK-47 Versus a 5.56 (tavor/M4A1/FN SCAR/FN F2000, HK 416), I would go for the Upgraded AK-47 over any of them. Not only do i get to keep my more powerful round, my accuracy is greatly improved, the enemy is down when he is shot (I don't want to be in a position where to kill an enemy high on drugs, I need to hit him with 5-6 rounds), and I get to keep the enemy's 7.62 Ammo.

Thank you.

So you are saying the Ak47 is ideal for Special forces use and better than any other assault rifle of our time including the HK's and FN's


OK.

Yes, my upgraded AK47 would give the special forces soldier varied capabilities he would never get with a 5.56mm.

Uganda has Such 30's?? Uganda have Such 30's??*?? Omg can someone tell me what the fücking hell the Nigerian Air force is doing with crapy J-7 when countries like Uganda has jets like Su-30, if not for this boko haram insurgency we may probably might not have acquired some military hardware and jets we are expecting, I'm not even happy anymore we are getting J-17 thunders, if Uganda should have Su-30s we should be having jets like F-18 hornet, F-22 raptor, Su-35 and Lockhead Martin (F-35).

I know the US won't even sale us F-16 but I'm trying to show u guys the kind of 4, 4.5 and 5 gen jets should have in our inventory

F/A-18, F-22 ( the Americans aren't even selling this jet to the Israelis, not to talk of you undecided undecided), F-35..... okay, you just have to wake up.


The JF-17 is a nice jet, i'm quite delighted with the choice. However, 40 is a no, no for me.

30 is even too much, are we the ones to lift Pakistan out of bankruptcy?

I say we go,

18- 24 JF-17 thunder jets and 8 MIG-29SMT or SU-30.

For a total of 24- 28 jets in all.

And like u said 40 JF-17 is a lot and it would be better to get like 18 - 24 JF-17 and other 4th gen jets. Do u know the block we'll be getting from the Jf-17?

Why do u guys prefer Russian made Su's and MIGs to Western Typhoons, Eurofighter, Rafale, Turnado, F -16s or even the Chinese J-10 and J-11?

We talking about old model raw ak47 for special forces.
You just succeeded in upgrading it to the AK74,AK100series
And My SCAR H 7.62diammeter rounds with a telescopic sight would kill well above 500m with your desired lethality. (Ask your local range operator)

I prefer US F series to the Su's

By the way I think the best jet to be used against insurgency is the A-10 thunderbolt, that jet gave devastating blow to the terrorists in Iraq.
A pic of the A-10 thunderbolt, a jet the talibans will never forget
A-10 is impressive & it seems USAF wants to sell them but you know how things be with US na.i ll go with Russian weapons anytime ,anyday

Since it's a Special forces Soldier, we need to give him a Special forces AK-47. My Ak-47 is a description of a Special forces AK-47.

I beg to differ, not many operators can accurately hit a target above 500 meters, whether it is a HK 416, FN Scar-H or an Up-graded AK-47.
