AK 103


   The AK-103 is an assault rifle, the new version of the Soviet AK-47. It is currently manufactured in Russia and licensed in Venezuela. It has the same caliber as its predecessor (7.62 mm) and arose in response to the 5.45 x 39 (low impact) AK-74 cartridge from which it took the elongated compensator it has at the mouth of the barrel; the AK-47 plastic boots and the Russian AKM fit into this rifle, as do the Type 56 Chinese and the Finnish RK 62. The AK-103 is an assault rifle that has two shooting modes: semi-automatic and automatic. At the time of shooting, the weapon has very little recoil, which makes the shot much more effective. Its weight with full loader is 3.5 kg, and that makes a real light rifle. It has a cross-sectional scope of 1000 meters and also has an adapter rail on the left side that can be used to attach an extension rail to equip the rifle with any type of telescopic sight, red dot, ACOG, etc. (in fact, the aforementioned extension allows the installation of the optical sight and thus prevents that neither it nor the mechanical sights interfere with each other); its ease of replenishment, recharges and is characterized by the possibility of having a folding stock. Therefore it is a variant of the AK-74M, but it shoots the cartridge 7.62 x 39 of the AKM. The cylinder head runs from the end of the barrel to the shaft that holds it, and keeps it attached to the rest of the gun. The cylinder body runs from the middle of the barrel to the mechanism drawer. At the mouth of the barrel carries a bocacha extinguishes flames, being the one in charge that the exhaust of gases generated by the cartridge is more effective and the recoil lighter; however, it must be remembered that not all the gas is expelled, part of this energy is used to drive the mechanisms and place a new cartridge in the chamber. The mechanism drawer consists of the following elements; The selector, the bolt, the piston, the trigger, the pressure bar, the cover of the moving assembly.

   One of the essential components of the weapon, it has ribbed bore, giving the projectile fired a greater capacity of penetration and even against shields of more than 4 levels, goes from the interior of the drawer of mechanisms until the thread of the mouth, where it is coupled The last component of the rifle compensates for the excess gases generated in the firing of the cartridge, giving the shooter a more measured response to the impact generated by the explosion generated in the cartridge, lightening the recoil created in the reaction, allowing the shooter to fire the weapon while standing, giving a higher reaction rate to the soldier operating it. It is recognized by its sometimes semi-conical shape, and at other times, by being grooved. As it is a model of the Series-100, shares this same extinguishes flames with the rest of the series and the base design, the AK-74. Taking into account that when firing the projectile reaches a speed of 910 m / s, and having its cartridges both of blaze, plotters, anti-armor and ordinary, the rifle is easy to maintain, an average of 5 minutes it is possible to clean and put it together. Its predecessor, the AK-47, is the weapon most used in the world for its adaptation to the environment; of this one derives the design of AK-103, that copies much of the systems and mechanisms of operation.

   In May 2005, the Venezuelan Ministry of Defense signed a contract with the Russian company Rosoboronexport to buy 100,000 AK-103 rifles, as well as the machinery and technology needed to produce the ammunition locally. Venezuela received its first shipment of 30,000 rifles on June 3, 2006. A second shipment of 32,000 AK-103 rifles arrived on August 30. The third and final shipment arrived on November 29, 2006. These rifles replaced approximately 60,000 FN FAL Belgian rifles purchased in 1953, as well as the locally produced FALs. Currently, a factory is being built dedicated to the production of the AK-103 and AK-104 rifles that will be located in Maracay, which will be producing them by mid-2017, and another factory in the same location will be in charge of manufacturing the cartridges for both AK-103 and AK-104.
