How can they go from the sleek beauty that was the AK47 and end up with this? It looks hideous. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 13:13, 9 February 2012 (CST)

Is beauty really a criteria you have for rifles? The AK-12 ''is'' a military rifle after all, and I don't think the Russian military compare guns using how good it looks as a category. In my world, it doesn't matter how ugly a gun is, if it does it's job well, it's welcomed with open arms. Also, was the AK-47 really that good-looking? It looked a bit plain to me. User:Alasdair

What an ugly AK

How can they go from the sleek beauty that was the AK47 and end up with this? It looks hideous. --cool-breeze 13:13, 9 February 2012 (CST)

Really?

Is this really a new AK variant, or is it still an experimental weapon?--Gunner5

The one labelled as AK-200 was the prototype, the AK-12 is supposedly the production model and is currently being field tested. I wouldn't be surprised though if it was never actually adopted, like all of the other "replacements" for the AK-74. --commando552 19:33, 9 February 2012 (CST)
