Does the K2 offer any practical advantages over derivatives of the AR or derivatives of the AK in terms of performance, durability, manufacturing costs, or user-friendliness? Note that the stats include suicides and self defense as well as murders. They are not trying to make everyone picture-perfect. They try to make everything idiots, forcing normal people to live by the rules for criminals.
Some also ban so called butterfly knives. The absolutely funniest thing is that some countries ban throwing stars shurikens. The lawmakers have watched too many ninja movies! Some of the countries which ban throwing stars do NOT ban conventional throwing knives, even though the latter are potentially much more dangerous.
Campbell was in PM office between June and December of Ecole Polytechnique shooting was on 6. December , four years earlier. If this event influenced Cdn. That was single biggest disaster involving firearms in Canada and we pay for it to this day. I had a couple DRs back in the day. Very reliable and fairly accurate but limited to 55gr. Rumors were the Moonies were selling some out the back door of one of their monasteries.
It has since been converted back to a fairly close copy of the correct folding stock. It is an excellent shooting rifle, and well built. It also had a gas regulator. I wonder if there had been some influence. This rifle, with the Kalashnikov, has no more in common than with the STG Gas piston only. This rifle is assembled from M16 structural elements. Both basic and experienced. Maybe replace it with an UltiMak-style railed one.
Optics and accessories are a challenge for the older K-2s. The fire control group is interchangeable with the AR though there are some variances in the full auto version.
It uses a charging handle similar to that of the FN-FAL except that it is on the right side of the receiver. The mag release and safety are similar to and in the same relative positions as the AR Where it starts to be more like the AK is that it trades the direct gas impingement system of the AR for a long-stroke piston system that sits atop the barrel. A 4-position gas regulating plug is at the end of the piston assembly. As a result, the Daewoo runs much cleaner. The selective-fire military versions used by the ROK Army and some other militaries, Peru for example, can be fired in semi-auto, 3-shot burst, and full auto.
It uses a rotating bolt that is similar in appearance that of the AR Unlike the AK, the bolt of the Daewoo attaches directly to the piston. The DR and K1 use a 1 in 12 twist barrel. The video below illustrates the Daewoo Max II and its inner workings. Civilian versions of the Daewoo were imported into the United States up until The last models imported were the DR in 5. Daewoo Industries ran into tremendous financial difficulties in and was actually dismantled by the Korean Government in The post-AWB Daewoo DR came with an ugly thumbhole stock, a round magazine, and a silver soldered can in place of a flash hider.
My sample is a fixed wire stock from ACE Ltd. It certainly feels robust, but the folding functionality will have to be added at a later date. What makes me most appreciative of the design is how solid it is. The upper and lower receiver is overbuilt to the point of absurdity. Its gas system can be tuned for adverse conditions.
The controls from the AR are all present and accounted for save for the charging handle position. The rear sight is a standard peep with plenty of sight radius. The rear adjustments are simple. A wheel below the peep is rotated for elevation adjustment and a standard M16A1 rear windage wheel is present.
The sights are adjustable for typical battlefield distances. Represented are meter battle zero, then meter settings. The rear sighting system is unique and has several components unique to the Daewoo. Both elevation and windage are adjusted at the rear.
The fixed front sight is protected by a globe of forged steel, and it is pinned in place with a beefy steel blade. The front post is far beefier and better protected than the A2 square post. There is a slight taper at the tip. I sighted in at 25 yards to sight in with a standard battle sight zero. Unfortunately, the weapon has no provisions for low light shooting.
The small peep darkens dim light conditions. The default sight setting appears to be ish meters. This battle zero is quite aggressive. Without a close-range aperture or ghost ring… It feels far less adaptive. The K2 has more apparent recoil than the 20 inch ARs I have in my inventory. I adjusted the gas down a notch and recoil became a bit tamer, but still perceptibly more than an AR.
One thing to point out is that the muzzle is bare. It has no compensating properties whatsoever. Aside from the increased recoil, the rifle functions flawlessly. The AR15 FCG and very familiar manual of arms make this a very comfortable rifle to manipulate and shoot.
The K2 does not have that deficiency. It feels robust, and grabbing it if things went wrong would not frighten me in the least. The rifle was compared tit-for-tat against a standard consumer-grade 20 inch Ar15 from palmetto state armory. I used grain ELD match hand loads for the basis of my accuracy comparison. I used standard single-stage AR15 triggers in both rifles for the iron sight testing… so how did the woo do? I believe it is going to be inherently less accurate due to the gas piston reciprocating above the barrel.
The AR15 was more accurate but the Woo is certainly acceptable and should be capable of hitting man-sized targets to extended distances. The Woo was tested by a simple drop test into the edge of a pond. The rifle was dropped ejection port up, and down, to simulate a worst-case scenario of a soldier falling into some mud and water. The mud I am working with is pure clay and the water becomes saturated with particulate when disturbed.
I had multiple failures to eject before I moved the gas setting from S small to M medium and managed to shoot a few rounds on semi before it converted to a bolt action rifle.
Clearing this gun of malfunctions is easier than an AR Because of the charging handles position, you can reach up and pull the bolt back easily. The rifle was sticking pretty badly, however… so I decided to hump it back to the firing line.
My efforts to get the rifle cleared consisted of dousing it with canteen water and cycling the action.
