the AK5 and AK5c are not known for frequent jamming issues, the one in the video is not a genuine.

@RaXXha 20 күн бұрын

The ones currently in service suffer from a lot of stoppage issues due to wear compared to when they where new 15 years ago. It wasn't an issue a few years ago, but it's a big reason for them being replaced with the AK24. I was among the first conscripts to be issued the AK5c in 2009, and i didn't suffer a single stoppage during my entire year of service, 6 years later i did repeat training for a week and the gun jammed multiple times during that single week.

It should be noted that our ammo has the highest level of QC as well (Norma runs a separate line for FMV). I've never had a jam or a dud with either the AK4 or the AK5 and I've put quite a few thousand rounds through both.

Back in 98 with the original AK5 we had zero issues. But then the guns were likely better serviced and without certain convenient functions found on US counterparts precisely to avoid malfunctions with years of abuse from conscripts. Wasn't long ago that even boots were hard to come by for the army and those in existence were disintegrating so would be unsurprising if the rifles also weren't serviced properly

This is not an "AK5" made by Sweden, Instead, it is a "copy" made by an American collector who tried his best to recreate it, though it uses some of the parts from the real one, It is far from a complete copy. Also due to it being homemade it lacks the quality and some of the properties of the real one. So while it is a decent copy It can't be used as a test of what the Swedish AK5 is truly capable of.

Used the AK5C for my service in the Swedish army as a contracted soldier (GSS/K), and usually the gun runs very smoothly if you don’t use to many blank-rounds then it tends to clog up with wooden splinters. But other then that you tend not to get that many failures of any kind. In my opinion I think all these failure to extract and double feeding is because it’s Frankenstein gun (and like he said it is not really a AK5C).

@Fallenup89 20 күн бұрын

Probably has a worn ejector spring or worn extractor since it's built from a parts kit cheap fix tho

In the early seventies when I was a conscript we learned that when you pull the breechblock towards you, ALLWAYS cup the hand, DONT EVER use your fingers. I did that once ( an got the evil eye from the instructor ) and I still remember that ...

@andersmalmgren6528 19 күн бұрын

Its because in a stressfull situation precision goes out the door and then its better using your entire hand to cup it like you described :)

This is not a original AK5C! The muzzle brake/flash hider is wrong, the same goes for the picatinny rail on the hand guard etc.

@RaXXha 20 күн бұрын

In the swedish army we are taught to cock it with our left hand by tilting the gun slightly to the left and reaching over, right hand stays on the grip with the barrell pointed at the enemy. The AK5C came with P-Mags, but most are issue metal mags due to the plastic not being as good in cold weather, unfortunately that means the bolt doesn't lock back when the final round is fired, that feature only works with the p-mags.

@perkristoffersson4153 18 күн бұрын

For guard duty we were instructed to reach under and up with our left hand to cock it. That way there was no round chambered, the left arm could be used for signing towards whoever came up while the right hand was constantly ready. When reloading it was far easier to use your right hand though, especially when laying down and given your mags were supposed to be in the right pocket of the harness.

@satanihelvetet 18 күн бұрын

In the early days we cocked it with the right hand, but later that was changed to cocking with the left hand so you avoiding unleashes the pistol grip. In my experience and opinion (as a 10 months conscript at the early 90's) the Ak5 family has been very reliable, but is now on it's way to be worned out and will soon be replaced.

@Jonsson474 20 күн бұрын

It’s a magazine issue on this clone since he is not using the correct magazine for an AK5 C. The AK5 C usually has P-mags but the old metal magazines are usually available.

The music at the start of the video is the Battlefield 4 main theme, no doubt chosen to represent the AK5 as the game is also Swedish, and the gun was one of the best guns in the game.

@vicolin6126 20 күн бұрын

Not a gun expert, but the problem with using plastics in parts that are exposed to shock in a cold climate is that they break rather easily. Pretty sure this also goes for mags. In the far north of Sweden, support weapons often have wooden stocks for this reason.

@AndyWoohoo666 20 күн бұрын

Yes Sweden have p-mags but due to the cold climate metal mags are preferable, so you're spot on. Also there is an abundance of metal mags.

@dagandersson3641 20 күн бұрын

When I did my year in the Swedish military in 2001 we only ever had issues with the gun if we did not clean the mag properly. I found the weapon to be very easy to strip down and put together again.

@SonsOfLorgar Күн бұрын

Yup, cleaning of the ak5 (FN FNC)is far smoother than the ak4 (HkG3) Especially when it comes to cleaning the upper reciver and locking surfaces in the trunion where, on the ak4, the magwell always gets in the way and the stamped steel reciver shreds knuckle skin...

Wrong wrong! Mattias Flink var fänrik och hämtade ut vapnet från en vapenkassun. Man har aldrig fått ta med sig vapnet hem. Endast hemvärnet och vissa reservare hade vapen för förvaring i hemmet.

Flink was an officer. He killed 7 and wounded 3. He went home to change into uniform. He then went by his place of work to pick up the weapon and ammo. Drunk as a skunk, suffering from a psychosis, he fired just short of 50 rounds with 100% accuracy.

@perkristoffersson4153 18 күн бұрын

Not really but I think they were allowed to have them in their bunk cabinets back in the cold war era (in the 90's the guns were locked up between exercises). The home guard were allowed to have AK's at home, disassembled and locked (those locks jammed if you looked at them funny), at least up until the early noughties. Criminals like "militärligan" ("the military gang") and the mc gangs likely had something to do with this change in how weapons were issued/handled (they were also the reason we had live ammo ready at HQ for certain exercises in urban envitonments)
