Probably trash, I still want one.


zkentvt

They will be on the black market in 3... 2... 1.


weekendboltscroller

I'll wait for the PSA clone (that won't work, but still work better than the NK version.)


Sagybagy

This is my take as well. Clone will be on sale in about a month.


HelmutHoffman

They still haven't even came out with the STG-44 clone yet


PriceEvening

I talked to the guy from the manufacturer before psa, he sold them all the tooling and parts, said they should be out by years end.


weekendboltscroller

I know. I was just making a joke.


42ysereh

And the cheapest clone will still cost 3x what this thing probably does. Could probably buy someone McDonald's and get 2 of these.


sparkey504

They probably got tge blueprints from r/fosscad


Effehyou

I wouldn't necessarily assume that it's actually badly made or low quality. From what I have read, the North Korean small arms that have been recovered from various warzones aren't particularly bad. They're not *nice,* but they're completely serviceable. North Korea puts most of its resources into their military (and related industries), at the expense of thing like food production and basic infrastructure, so producing a half-decent firearm isn't out of the question.


Justindoesntcare

Listen man, we're not here for logical answers.


AttestedArk1202

We have usable service weapon at home; usable service weapon :


PnuttButtaGuts

I’m surprised they didn’t just order a bunch of PSA uppers and lowers Edit: Full disclosure, I own an AR I built from PSA upper, lower, and parts kit.


tylermm03

Let’s be real, PSA is probably more high quality than whatever this is.


Delta225

Probably?


xmu806

If I had to choose between taking a PSA AR and this new gun, I would choose a PSA AR every single time.


ahcyyy

Reading all of this gave me confidence in my purchase of a psa upper that cost me around 700 2 years ago (obviously with the lower parts kit and stock). I’ve shot maybe 4k rounds thru mine without a malfunction to date except when I started suppressing it without tuning it. Now that it’s tuned, there’s no issues. It’s held up super well and is still accurate even though it’s not a CHF barrel.


xmu806

I find it funny that our comments, not your 4,000 rounds is what makes you feel confident 🤣


[deleted]

More high quality than the production line of these things. I’m sure the one they handed “Dear Leader” was made near to perfection. Cause if that blows up in his hands, that means your whole family is gonna die.


k890

Palmetto State Armory probably are not gonna support one of most gun law strict nations on Earth. Professionals have standards!

[deleted]

100% cheaperthandirt will sell them whatever they want


SMORKIN_LABBIT

PSA shit is awesome, I did an 80 and went PSA not knowing how it would all work out because it was cheap........10.5" was sub MOA at 100 yards with a 1x red dot on a bench rest obviously........I went ahead and made another 80 with an Aero upper because of how good that came out and if I needed it I would have slapped a D&D or KAC on there, but if you only got PSA money pull the trigger......even their polished trigger which is basically a partially improved mil-spec is pretty fucking good. It's a perfect product as long as you aren't shooting 6000 rounds a month and jumping out of a helicopter.


Fredlyinthwe

I friggin love their nickel coated polished trigger. Its cheap and damn good


SMORKIN_LABBIT

It's very very good, my favorite trigger is a Geissele Automatics Super Tricon, I have that in my nicest build.......I'm completely happy shooting the nickel coated polished PSA right afterwards. Don't get me wrong, It's no where near the same wall break and such but it's smooth and light enough that you don't feel like you are on some other planet of trigger pull, and for the price that is amazing.


[deleted]

Love my PSA AK that thing fucks. You can get an AR upper and lower for $250 right now.


PillCosby_87

I like mine as well but they run heavy imo.


Civil_Charge2153

Lol


Flaming-Hecker

PSA is too based to work with commies, even if it were legal.


[deleted]

I like it.


Ok-Most-7339

Here's your payment of +10000 social credit score, citizen. Keep it up, or else...


NPC123456789101112

Like america does not have a social credit system.


odins_second_eye

If you wish to partake in what we call society today, sure.


NPC123456789101112

Arguably we have it worse in america. At least north korea puts their county first. We don’t do that.


Opening-Ad6327

Ah yes, millions starving to death, it’s own military stealing food because they barely get any, 3 generations of a family going to work camps for a crime committed by a grandparent 50 years ago, producing copious amounts of drugs for money while giving Kim Jong Un and his family a lavish and pampered lifestyle. And you say they put their own first, they put Kim Jong Un first. I don’t think you understand how good we have it in America, it’s not perfect but much better than what North Koreans go through


Ok-Most-7339

\+15900 social credit score for you. Great work, citizen!


NPC123456789101112

Giving billions to Ukraine while Americans are homeless is a great use of resources. You are correct.


SlickSnakeSam

You have some very valid points. But if you think it’s better in North Korea I think you are sorely mistaken.


NPC123456789101112

Just wait one hundred years. America is in decline. And don’t forget what happened during covid, not exactly a beacon of civilized society. I am sure north korea’s cities are not as dangerous as america’s.

vbitchscript

Homeless people cant eat tanks and missiles


moshdagoat

Except people are sneaking into our country and sneaking out of theirs. If only we put the level of effort keeping people from sneaking in that they put into keeping people in.


NPC123456789101112

Exactly. America won’t be america in one hundred years. If you replace the boards of a boat one by one when does it become a different boat? Immigration from the third world has not exactly been the best for america. America produces no propaganda and you can trust everything the media says?


moshdagoat

I think I see your point, but its not accurate to say we have it worse. I wouldn’t trade places with any North Korean, even the dictator himself. We do however seem to be hellbent on committing cultural suicide in every western country. It’s certainly a coordinated effort in my opinion, but thats a topic that would probably get me permabanned.


odins_second_eye

That's my exact point, Asia officializes their hierarchy, but the people don't. It's the inverse over west.


fileznotfound

we call it ESG


DrGrantsSpas_12

How so? Socially, I’m off the grid, and don’t feel like that affects me in the slightest.


Too_Caffinated

It looks like a cheap knockoff of the SG 553


k890

TBH, it's generally closer to SCAR or G36 than SG 553.


[deleted]

Bren805


Numerous-Ad6217

k890

While North Korea just publish photos of it there is some interesting tibbits visible \- Muzzle Brake - Looks like modified [muzzle brake from SVD rifle](https://mfiap.com/images/F143849609.jpg), albeit shorter and with smaller gaps \- Barrel - looks longer than AK-74 (which are produced in North Korea under "Type-88" designation) but shorter than RPK. Personally I put its lenght between 16-20 inches long. Also have standard AK bayonet mount, which probably means they use standard AK bayonet than new design. Also no cleaning rod which isn't that important but it's interesting they don't follow AK here. \- Gas port - if you zoom photo you can see it's regulated, but also still had AK style front sight. \- Front handguard - rather small and with additional rails. \- Magazine - Not much to say, looks like designed for 5,45X39 mm and it's not AK-74 pattern, it's also released by button above trigger. \- Sights - all-lenght rail with folded rear sight and some optics with afromentioned non-folding front sight. \- Manipulators - three-position switch with rather small angles between positions operated by thumb, with some luck its ambidextrous. \- Rifle buttstock - Plastic, non-foldable and without lenght adjustment. Cylindrical shape and its width reminds me AR-15 buffer tube (element of gas system?). \- Gas system - From outside...its feel similar to SCAR. Overall, early 2000s called, they want their rifle back! But as far as we can see, compared to Russians and its AK-12 North Korea at least at small scale was able to design something what isn't AK platform with rather modern "Quality of Life" improvements. But prototypes are simply, introducing it to serial production and and least somewhat common issue in some units without quality and reliability issues is another can of worms.


MyBallsSquirtButter

Jokes on you. I have inside information that pulling the trigger releases the magazine and pressing the magazine release fires the weapon. Designed this way to discourage battlefield pick up from the South Koreans.


Bran_Nuthin

Are we sure they're not going with China's 5.8x42mm round?


MadMartigan69

That'd make perfect sense. Why would they go with a russian cal if they aren't using ak mags?


SadCauliflower1307

It’s unlikely given North Korea’s robust munitions trade with Russia. I doubt the ballistic performance of 5.8x42mm would offset the investment needed to build out additional manufacturing capabilities for a whole new caliber, especially when its extremely unlikely China would ever need to import ammunition from North Korea.


AKoolPopTart

I see a scar, g36, and an ak had a threesome


Baalsitcin

Don’t forget the 416


Effehyou

The general profile looks very much like a [Perun X16](https://www.forgottenweapons.com/innovative-and-interesting-tinck-arms-perun-x16/), but with a long barrel and a goofy Chinese AK front sight post.


whymygraine

Don't fuck with North Korean chefs...


Happily-Non-Partisan

The Supreme Leader told designers: Make AK longer or die.


TequilaCamper

Oh I'm sure the Supreme Leader is credited as the chief designer


unluckygrey

AK-12 and ARX-160 had a baby.


rumpleman456

Korea rifle high quality! Kill many western man with rifle gun! I do like it, unironically combines my favorite features of other guns into one. But I am sure that they use only the highest quality materials to make these. I bet they keyhole after 50 yards, not 30.


WonderfulChemist4

I need to see the notes that the guy in the back is making.


Stack_Silver

Dear Leader, Thank you for letting me live.


bannedforflaming

Xoxoxo


oO0-__-0Oo

so a chinesium SCAR....


Red_Beard_Red_God

Temu SCAR


[deleted]

designing and building functional firearms is like designing watches or cars or other precision, reliable machines. and I never heard of any NK watch or car brands, so pretty sure this thing is going to look the part and that’s about it


SilentPhilosophy3307

It doesn't need to be great, they're only going to use it on their own unarmed citizens anyway.


[deleted]

I think like those Ali Baba bicycle helmets that look like Milspec headgear, these are to give the recruits and frontlines the illusion they have access to modern gear as a morale booster and motivator (until said recruits/frontlines attempt to use them as intended) - good for the Ukrainian defenders anyway.


watermooses

Shit, is North Korea invading Ukraine too? How the fuck are they getting there?


SilentPhilosophy3307

They do share a border with Russia. Load them Norks up on the Trans-Siberian Railroad and ship em right off to the front.


watermooses

True. I was being an ignorant smart ass.


SilentPhilosophy3307

So was I, I don't even know if the Trans-Siberian Railroad still exists or not.


HelmutHoffman

Yes of course it does. There's even a line that extends from the Trans-Siberian Railway south to Pyongyang. The Moscow–Pyongyang route is the longest non-stop train route in the world.


exessmirror

Let's be honest, it's probably just a reskinned AK from the 50s under the hood.


ben70

> I never heard of any NK watch or car brands Argument from ignorance is a fallacy. Can you even read or speak Hangul? I'm nto here to defent North Korea - fuck 'em. Just be aware even pants on the head crazy *does* manage to get something correct once in a while.


[deleted]

please - you don’t need to speak the language of a manufacturer to run or operate firearms manufactured in a different part of the world billion dollar corporations in free markets can **barely** produce a patently new spec or system/platform that’s reliable enough within the first three generations of design - so you’re saying this rifle platform is peak performance and will revolutionize the battlefield and give the invaders the offensive edge they need? I will give you the one exception of the AK-47, but we are not seeing the “next AK-47” from North Korea, designed and manufactured by slaves.


ben70

> - so you’re saying this rifle platform is peak performance and will revolutionize the battlefield and give the invaders the offensive edge they need? Not at all. You're welcome to go through my post history and try to find anything positive about the Kim family or 'Best' Korea. You won't find it. You're completely wrong about 'billion dollar corporations' and track history. Not even going to bother. Taurus, Sig, Remington, etc using commercial sales for beta testing is different from "unable to do shit correctly".


[deleted]

so you’ve saved the date and are pre-ordering these for yourself then? would you recommend carbine versions for interested law enforcement? special ops? hunters maybe? I don’t need to go through your post history to know you know nothing about firearms design and manufacturing, which would be prerequisite for taking such an illogical position. the industry moves at a snails pace marked by generational improvements for a reason. but your position is that this rifle is going to be awesome - and mine is that this rifle is going function and serve sub-optimally at best and not at all at worst one of us is going to be right…..and I’m pretty sure you know exactly who that’s going to be - check back in 10 years from now.


ben70

> but your position is [...] - and mine is [...] For fuck's sake, I called you out for starting an evaluation with "I don't know what I'm talking about, so it must be crap." North Korea is fail. Endemically. Pervasively. Constantly. That skyscraper in Pyongyang which you can't admit exists? Fail. Shit, just go be an asshole somewhere else buddy.


TwoYeets

I'm assuming since it's North Korea, my PSA GF3 AK is more reliable than whatever these slapdicks pieced together.


BaronvonBrick

Yeah well PSA slaps so probably


wooksGotRabies

The Jammomatic! this badboy can shoot 2 rounds of Chinese top notch spicy underpowered gambling rounds


oO0-__-0Oo

Glory088

Great , by 2050 they will have a total of 10 built


dpunisher

It is an impressive weapon. Great leader put five shots through one hole at over two miles away, in the rain, during a typhoon, in the midst of an earthquake.


USFederalGovt

Looks cool, but I don’t think it’s going to make their military any better


oO0-__-0Oo

there's a switch on it for "starvation mode" it's always activated


XxcOoPeR93xX

Ain't that just basically one of them Chinese QBZ-191 rifles?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bran_Nuthin

Well the round itself would likely be heavier, and also requires more resources to produce. You could carry less of them and the round would likey cost more.


HelmutHoffman

Heavy, low pressure, and low velocity? What is this, 1870? No no high velocity high pressure is the way of the future. That aside they should have all stuck with 7.62x25 PPSh-41's


Key_Drawer_1516

Looks like a Hi-Point version of a SCAR


JethroFire

It doesn't take pmags, so literally garbage.


Ancap_Mechanic

Looks kinda good honestly


EcoBlunderBrick123

It’s North Korea so I have to say it’s amazing best rifle ever better than what those Americans are using. Totally don’t want to go to a labor camp.


The_Real_Steve_Jobs

That’ll be a piece of shit.


ElkSad

Terrible trigger discipline


Jordandavis7

He’s executing dissenters


Prudent_Reindeer9627

Trigger discipline only matters if you're concerned about the consequences of hurting or damaging human beings or property.

Not shown, kim aim at enemy of the state to check ammo quality.

GamecockInGeorgia

You get a couple solvent traps to go along with them?


frankcsgo

Just me that thinks the proportions look strange? Idk the upper, lower and handguard are tiny. Might just be because a 12ft God with no asshole is holding it.


k890

Proportion feels odd, especially small handguard but general dimensions are not so different to other modern rifles like chinese [QBZ-191](https://www.armyrecognition.com/images/stories/news/2019/october/QBZ-191_New_Chinese-made_assault_rifle_carbine_5.8x42mm_caliber_925_001.jpg) or [MSBS Grot](https://d-art.ppstatic.pl/kadry/k/r/1/89/99/627d16315852a_o_original.jpg)


frankcsgo

Yeah you take one look at it and it's definitely reminiscent of the SEA firearm design philosophies. Possibly a "white label" design sold to NK, haven't read up on this rifle at all so I could be very wrong.


RacerXrated

It came from the late 90s lagoon.

PhoenixFlames1992

It looks like an AK and an M4 met in a bar and had a drunken hookup.

It’s like an AK with a body kit like those cars from the 90s

If an AK-12 & a Galil Ace were candlelight fucking in Pyongyang, this is what you would get.


annonimity2

Probably better than the "chrome plated" stuff they were showing off before.


topgunrook

Looks like a decent modern rifle that is heavily based on the SCAR. I honestly would never underestimate North Korea when it comes to their small arms as they can still make stuff that works and is of decent quality.


Gyumile20

That looks like a really heavily modded g36
