I picked this up from another board where the header was "It looks like Putin went shopping at TAPCO". ;D
Anyway we apperntly have a new AK with a 60 round mag and a bi-pod. (Not only can't you hit anything, but you now will be embarassed about it, but hey, you have twice as many chances). ;D
The other is what looks like .50 caliber bullpup. :o I think the Russkies intend to get a little drastic if it comes to urban warfare and CQB. I guess that can happen when you really don't care about the neighbors. Anyway, here is the article. its from a site called The Blaze and I'm not familiar with it so I can't vouch for accuracy.

These are not weapons that have been accepted, they have been submitted for consideration.

I'd take two of each for evaluation purposes, for free, gratis even. Heck, I'd pay shipping. ;)

The first one looks like a modified PKM machine gun, and the second looks like a FA-MAS clone.

Looks like someone is testing the waters in the 'Mall Ninja" market ;D

Typical Russian ROE.....the Russians don't do anything small....including collateral damage....

Can some one explain to me the utility of a .50 short cartridge ?
It lacks the punch and range of a real .50, for far more weight and recoil than the standard 7.62X 39, with a much smaller mag capacity.

They are seeing how tough American Marines are.
They are thankful the "cold war" ended before they had to face The Marines with a puny .30 Cal. weapon.
Now they are prepared ;D ;D ;D ...so they think :D :D

Sure it would be fun for us, but from a purely military viewpoint, what good is it ?
Are the going to use it in "hostage situations" like Beslan ?

Ask the developers of the .50 Beowulf & .458 SOCOM.....

I would, but they don't post here.
They haven't sold crap compared to full size cartridges like .338 LM.
They also haven't scored a Govt contract.
So again, WTF good would it be ?
It has all the disadvantages of the full size round, weight, recoil, limited mag capacity, with out any of the advantages of range and armor penetration.
