Specifications
- Type: Assault Rifle
- Caliber: 5.56x45mm
- Capacity: 30 round box magazine
- Fire Modes: Safe/Semi/Full Auto (750 RPM)
The Daewoo assault rifles are the standard issue rifles for the South Korean Military and Police forces. The K1/K1A short carbines were developed first, the full sized K2 assault rifle was developed later. The K1A was the upgraded version of the K1 carbine (developed as a submachine gun to replace the M3 Grease gun for the South Korean Military). The K1A is considered a submachine gun, despite the fact that it fires an intermediate cartridge (5.56mm Nato/.223) like the full sized assault rifle.
- K1/K1A Carbine - telescoping wire stock, short barrel, 1 in 12 rifle twist - 5.56mm
- K2 Rifle - Folding full sized stock, 16" barrel, 1 in 7.3 rifle twist - 5.56mm
While some people regard the K1 as just a shorter version of the K2, they are somewhat different internally. The K1 (which came first) uses a gas impingement system like the AR15/M16 rifles. The K2 full sized rifle has a gas piston system, just like the AK47 rifles.
Unlike most people's misconception, the K1/K1A is NOT a carbine version of K2. First, the K1/K1A was made before the K2. And also, most parts (Including the firing pin) are not interchangeable except the bottom stock. And most of all, Daewoo S&T has recently released K2 Carbine version along with K3 Para version and K-12, 7.62X51mm machine gun to replace the M60.
