The AK-50 project continues and Brandon Herrera, the AK Guy, does another shoot test of his prototype. The AK-50 project is the development of Kalashnikov-style rifle that fires the .50 BMG round... "We were finally ready to test fire the newest prototype of the AK-50, and this video details exactly what happened."
It would be big, if we base it on the AK-50 design made by Brandon Herrera, aka "The AK Guy" on YouTube. The AK-50 is a real steel firearm that uses the Kalashnikov design but made to fire a .50 BMG round. That's one massive round that needs a big gun just for it to be fired. Airsoft Al talks about what if an airsoft version is made in this video.
If you are following the development of the AK-50, the .50 BGM AK being produced by the AK Guy, here is an update from Brandon Herrera himself... "It’s been a couple of months since I hit YouTube with an AK-50 update, so I figured it was about time I let you guys know what all has been going on, and (more importantly) when I think the next steps will be finished!"
News2share talks to Brandon Herrera, aka "The AK Guy" to learn more about why he is building the AK-50, a rifle based on the AK design but fires the .50 BMG round... "Brandon is building the AK-50, a variation of the classic Kalashnikov style of rifles that will fire .50 BMG rounds. The rifle is projected have killing power at 3,000 yards (1.7 miles) away from a given target. The first-of-its-kind weapon will have the power to penetrate through layers of solid material."
It looks like the clamor for an airsoft version of the AK-50 has been heard. According to a reliable source, there are negotiations ongoing for the AK-50 to be brought to the airsoft market. Whilst, nothing is finalised yet, the AK Guy might be interested in other offers from other manufacturers. If interested, try to drop him message via the following:
The Gun Collective gives us a look at the AK-50, the anti-materiel rifle that is built with the .50BMG for the AK platform as made by the AK Guy. This rifle uses the 10-round Barrett m82 Magazine, and is being sold at US$6,999.00 which is said to be the most inexpensive .50BMG on the market.
The AK Guy has come with his biggest project to date. Formerly known as the "Project AKG" he finally unveils his big bad AK gun yesterday, the AK-50 which of course is an AK that uses the .50 calibre. It still uses the AK operating system of a long piston driven rotating bolt design. Will it be as durable and reliable as the other Kalashnikovs?
The AK Guy plans on getting orders next year, will he allow an airsoft licence for it?
