A rare rifle gets the full presentation by Royal Armouries in this 2-part episode... "We have a very, very special one for you this week. David Lake of Small Arms Defense Journal describes a firearm that can "fire, eject, reload, fire, eject and reload, with perfect reliability, while almost totally eliminating recoil, in less time than the human eye can blink. Quite literally... two rounds just 33 milliseconds apart. Your eye blinks in 150 milliseconds".
Garand Thumb gets to try a rare military rifle, the Russian AN-94. The AN-94, a unique Russian assault rifle designed in 1994, was intended to replace the AK-74 but its complexity and cost kept it a niche weapon. Its claim to fame is a two-round burst firing at an impressive 1800 rounds per minute, achieved by a recoil-dampening system that delays felt recoil for the first two shots, improving accuracy in tough situations.
Larry Vickers gets his hands on the Russian AN-94 rifle. This is a badass rifle which many say should have been the main rifle of the Russian Army instead of the AK-12. The AN-94 features the "hyperburst" which is about the ability to put two bullets through the same hole in a body armour in order to put the enemy out of action immediately. However, it is a complex rifle and this is issued to Russian special operations forces.
