Baryshev AVB-7.62

AVB-7.62 is a battle rifle designed by Anatoly F. Baryshev that is derived from his weapon operating system.The 5.45 version was not developed due to the futility of already low-powered 5.45 cartridges that are not needed to reduce recoil.Due to such small differences, their balancing is almost the same, although the folding butt is undoubtedly more convenient than AKMS's, but the difference in shooting is significant: the recoil is almost not noticeable, the barrel isn't thrown up, its point of impact is maintained, and the direction of shooting is maintained without effort.According to its tactical characteristics, the AB-1(AB-7.62) has almost no difference from the AKM, but it allows the user to perform much more accurate automatic firing at a greater distance.[4] Test results showed great recoil reduction, making it easily usable as a small arm with half of weight of the pre-existing AGS-17.
