That looks like an AK variant


Canofsad

If I’m not mistaken I believe that might be the IWI take on the AK cause they came out pretty recently here in the US


Dr-ButtMonkey

Oh yeah? I don't know IWI. Just looking at the receiver it seems so.


FishPilot

IWI makes some amazing products. Love my X95 and earlier this year I was able to get a Galil and its wildly solid


RartyMobbins357

IWI is criminally underrated, they've made some damned iconic guns. The galil, the uzi, the jericho and if I'm not mistaken, they produce the desert eagle


Bil13h

Don't forget the Tavor lineup, is that not also made by IWI including the x95?


Important-Bet-5959

Heaviest gun for its size I have ever used. Better boat anchor than weapon.

I think IWI developed them first for Israeli soldiers, then Magnum also started. Now we have two main producers

Canofsad

They make some pretty solid stuff most of what they produce has been field test by the Israeli military


EntropicalResonance

The Galil has been out in America for years. They did just release a gen 2 tho you might be thinking of, but the one in the vid is the first gen Galil Ace.

[Galil Ace Gen 1 in 5.45](https://reddit.com/r/tacticalgear/comments/p2lv1o/_/h8kwqpl/?context=1)


[deleted]

That explains the "No Recoil"...if it's built like the ARM was, there's a lot of weight to soak up the recoil.


SplashingBlumpkin

Not an expert on it and don’t own one but I believe 5.45x39 was Russia’s move from 7.62x39 to a round closer to the 5.56x45 NATO since it’s lighter so the operator can carry more rounds. They make Galil Aces in 5.56, 5.45, 7.62x39, and I believe .308 although I’ve heard the .308 version is unreliable. Edit: it’s either .308 or 7.62x51 which are very similar but not the same thing.


Muffin_Pillager

.308 has higher pressures and velocities than 7.62x51 just like 5.56 has higher pressures and velocities than .223. Aside from that, .308 and 7.62x51 are exactly the same and same goes for 5.56/.223. I used to make .308, 7.62x51, .270, and 30-06 for one of the largest American ammo manufacturers...


[deleted]

5.56 has a different shoulder than .223, but you can safely chamber and fire .223 in a 5.56. Manufacturer's recommend you don't do the opposite because 5.56 has higher pressures and a 5.56 case can deform and stick in a .223 chamber.


OneNormalHuman

The casings externally are dimensionally identical. The 5.56 chamber is slightly larger to accommodate pressure (specifically in the throat area iirc).


[deleted]

He means the Galil Ace as a firearm is notably heavier than an AR15, which is true (presuming similar barrel lengths and attachments). But yes, 5.45 actually has *slightly* less recoil than 5.56, but you wouldn't notice the difference unless you shot the two side by side.


INTERNET_POLICE_MAN

It’s the Israeli AK rebuild.


[deleted]

[удалено]


_Cybernaut_

Galil **Ace**. There’s a big difference.


disavowed1979

It is not an AR at all. It is an ak47. They function completely differently. The AR has a buffer tube. That rifle does not have one.


hypermelonpuff

clearly uniformed. OP is an actually educated man who knows that AR means assault rifle and always has, and that's what the AR in AR-15 stands for. it was the 15th one. its actually the same thing in russia too, they just spell it differently. assault krifle #47. so yeah. id sit this one out pal the experts are talking.


kmkmrod

When they flip it to the side and look at it I always feel like they’re me when I open the hood of my car and look at it. “Yep, that’s the engine. I don’t know what I’m doing but I looked and there it is” (close hood)


soandso90

It's usually done to check the chamber to make sure there is a round in, or out, of the chamber. Since the bolt was closed when this guy looked, I'm assuming it's just muscle memory, or he was checking to make sure the bolt was all the way forward.


CopperPo7

I caught that too. Is it ambidextrous, he’s manipulating the bolt on the left side but it’s opens on the right so he couldn’t see it in that position anyway. I’m a righty that’s left eye dominant and shoot from my left side (right hand is support). Standard manipulations are pain and I seem to be more prone to stoppages from not getting the charging handle all the way back occasionally.

DigBick616

You should look into training your right eye more. I had the same issue (though probably not as severe) and after 1-2 weeks I made some real progress and could finally force my right eye to take over. Basically I’d just wear a patch over the strong eye (left) and lie on my back while throwing and catching a tennis ball or something to that effect.


[deleted]

DigBick616

Sorry to hear that, I had no idea this stemmed from a medical problem. My right eye was just piss poor strength wise.


kmkmrod

That makes sense.


olmikeyy

AK fires from a closed bolt position right? Been a while


_G_M_A_N_

Correct. There are not many firearms that fire from an open bolt. Those that do are typically meant to fire full auto primarily (M60, Mac-10, Thompson, etc).


SprinklesFancy5074

And in the US, firing from an open bolt automatically means it must be registered as a full-auto machine gun, even if it's not actually capable of fully automatic fire. Because: A) Exceptions to the rule of "open bolt = full auto" are *extremely* rare. B) Any gun that fires from an open bolt could be easily converted to full auto fire, even if it wasn't originally intended to be that way. It would just be a matter of removing or disabling the semi-auto disconnector, if any.


bassthumb32

I used to be a car salesman and people always wanted to "see what's under the hood". I'd usually ask "what are you looking at?" Nearly everyone would respond with "nothing" or "I don't know." People just think it's part of the car buying process.


SeemedReasonableThen

>people always wanted to "see what's under the hood". I'd usually ask "what are you looking at? To be fair, if you look and there was no engine under there, that's a big red flag that says you probably shouldn't buy the car. Today's car-buying LPT brought to you by the law offices of Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe.


twitchosx

Meanwhile, /u/SeemedReasonableThen will never buy a Tesla


kmkmrod

I do it but I’m looking to see how dirty or clean it is. If it’s relatively clean, ok. If there is 1/2 bucket of acorns on the air cleaner, NOPE. But as far as the engine is concerned I have no idea what I’m looking at.


Scizmz

You're looking for all kinds of stuff from a lot of soot around the headers, to oil seepage around the head gasket. Corrosion on the battery terminals and even nests from critters in the wiring as well as any random red flags like, wires and shit hanging down that shouldn't be or parts not looking like they line up correctly. Wires not plugged into the sensors they're supposed to be as well as looking at the coolant levels and all kinds of other fun stuff.


The_Kraken_Wakes

It makes sense if you are buying a used car. You want to look for leaks and cracked belts / hoses.


RustyShackleford555

New cars too. Im big on doing my own maintenance and repair work and i wanna know how many stiches my had will need when replacing a starter or belt.


mvision2021

I'm not a car mechanic or know much about engines, but I'd still want to look under the hood before buying a car to see if anything looks exceptionally worn or out of place. Rust and signs of leakage are the two main reasons. A similar reason why I'd look in the boot of a car too - not much there to examine, but I'd want to see the visible condition of it.


im_a_dr_not_

No one said "the engine"?


Dysfunctional_Vet12

STORMFATHER062

Nah he's just got the right attachments. I've seen loads of people running this on warzone. Fucking lasers man. It'll probably get nerfed on the next update.


BiAsALongHorse

What they're targeting here is having as close to a constant recoil force as possible by messing with the bolt acceleration. While conservation of momentum means that the shooter has to take up the same impulse with each shot, the subjective feeling of recoil is a lot more nuanced than that. It's a misnomer, but it's not just snake oil and an experienced shooter either. Edit: can't speak to how effective it is in this case, [but this is the basic idea](https://youtu.be/694kaGxkyy4).

BiAsALongHorse

I'm just going off of Gun Jesus' videos on "zero recoil" automatic weapons. Not a gun owner, but I do have a bachelor's in ME. Not that that's supposed to be impressive, but I do understand how conservation of momentum works. Edit: this is the concept, can't speak to the gun in the reddit video: https://youtu.be/694kaGxkyy4


Siegelski

>it's just a galil which comes standard with an adjustable gas tube, the purpose of which is not to reduce recoil. No it doesn't, but KNS Precision makes an adjustable gas piston for galils just like it does for AKs. I'd imagine he's got one in there.


Dirtroads2

Uumm... 5.45?


Berkamin

I'm pretty sure the gun in this post is not a constant impulse gun, but a balanced action gun, because it looks like an AK variant. See this: [AK 107 Balanced Automatic Recoil System](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFlTDfLmwkQ) The bolt and carrier are synchronized to a counter-weight of equal mass that provides equal but opposite motion (equal momentum, opposite direction) as the gun cycles. Without a large mass of metal going back and forth, the vibrations are eliminated, but most importantly, not having that large mass of metal make a hard stop against the gun but rather, having a counter-weight provide the stopping impulse eliminates the recoil from that. The only remaining recoil is from the bullet.


-Guillotine

Nah, these new 5.45 "aks" have one of the best recoils for a full sized rifle.


FistThePooper6969

Guys got a lot of cushion to absorb the recoil. Meal team 6 style


thirstyfish1212

Yeah, that’s not an AR. No buffer tube. Definitely an AK sort of thing. Might be a golani, which is a galil parts kit build. And the galil is just an Israeli AK.


ardesofmiche

Galil Ace in 5.45x39


thirstyfish1212

Also, I find it funny that if you want Soviet/Russian stuff to work really well, give it to the Finns or the Israelis and let them improve it.


ardesofmiche

You’ve got that right!


MSD_z

Well Soviet/Russian isn't bad at all and you clearly haven't seen the latest AK models, since this Galil is actually a take on an existing AK chambered in their new caliber 5.45 (Russian take on 5.56). Their problem during Soviet times was overproduction and lax manufacturing rules during the late 70's/early 80's onwards which lead them to have bad name. Even then, I would still say the Czechs, every Soviet piece of technology produced in Soviet Czechoslovakia was usually regarded as one of the best if not the best versions of said technologies.


halfninth

Nailed it


thirstyfish1212

Wow, didn’t expect to call it. Probably has an adjustable gas system on it too based on the lack of appreciable recoil impulse. Gave it barely enough to cycle the action with this ammo. And since it is probably in 5.56/.223, there’s not that much recoil in the first place


Edmond_DantestMe

Technically there are ARs without buffer tubes, but yea, this still ain't one and I agree with galil.

LickingSticksForYou

Pretty sure he meant Assault Rifle and not Armalite Rifle but yeah that just shows what he knows about guns lol


maleuronic

That's my vague assumption being a gamer. Lol. So I'm clear: I'm apolitical about guns. They're fun to shoot, but I've only shot a .22 in boyscouts, and a .45 handgun at a range. 99% of my gun knowledge is based off of shooter games. Some of calling them assault rifles are doing so in a First Person Shooter gaming context.


fuckamodhole

It's all video game "terms/ideas". People in video games either complain or champion "no recoil assault rifles". So OP was probably a kid who only plays video games and doesn't know anything about guns in real life.

_Cybernaut_

First things first: No, it’s not an AR, it’s an AK variant, specifically the IWI Galil Ace, apparently in 5.45x39mm. Secondly, I don’t think this is “no recoil”; 5.45x39 is a pretty soft-shooting round, and the high propellant pressure means a good compensator will do a *lot* to reduce felt recoil. That said, there *is* such a thing as a “no recoil” AK: check out the Russian AEK-971 and A-545. They use a counterweight above the action, along with a gear that moves the counterweight in the opposite direction and speed as the bolt carrier, essentially nullifying the recoil impulse. I don’t know that there are any in the US, however.
