Obscure but interesting question...

[simonov jr]

Here's a link about the ak-107 and ak-108, which both utilize a unique "balanced automatic operation" system: http://club.guns.ru/eng/ak107.html . Does anyone here know of any OTHER countries or designers who experimented with this novel approach to recoil reduction?

No takers, huh?

Its ok, I don't know of any other ones either. Can anybody tell me which assault rifle uses BOTH recoil and gas operation? (this one I know ; )

AN-94.


Why the test? I hadn't heard of doing the counter weight thing anywhere else, but it apparently didn't catch on, since they adopted the above instead.

Nailed it...

Good job. Sorry, no particular reason except for fun and I thought that if anyone would get it someone here would.
