Is the AK 15 an assault rifle?

The AK-15 is a new Russian assault rifle. It was developed under the Ratnik future infantrymen programme. It is planned that the AK-15 will replace in production an AK-103 assault rifle. The AK-15 is essentially a version of the AK-12, chambered for a 7.62×39 mm ammunition.

Is an AR-15 automatic?

The military’s M-16 was originally fully automatic, meaning it fired several rounds with each pull of the trigger. Its civilian counterpart, the AR-15, is semiautomatic — the user needs to pull the trigger to fire each shot. The low recoil makes it easier to shoot and is more accurate than earlier military weapons.

Does Russia still use the ak47?

Russian soldiers currently carry the AK-74M assault rifle. This 5.45-millimeter rifle is descended from the 7.62-millimeter AK-47, which was introduced in 1947. The Russian Army retains a stockpile of approximately two million AK-74s in different variants.

Is there such a thing as a full-auto AR-15?

At this point, finding a real full-auto AR-15 design is quite complicated and incredibly expensive. On the marketing side, the term military-grade or military spec is tossed around to prove toughness and durability. It can be applied correctly, but no civilian AR-15 can be described as fully mil-spec.

What grade of AR-15 should I build?

Some AR-15s go well beyond military-grade, even being better than military-grade. They can be more accurate, easier to shoot, and even have reduced recoil, etc. I look at military-grade as a starting point to excellence and build from there. It should be the lowest level of acceptable in the AR-15 world.
