Post; Kalashnikov rival, the Korobov assault rifle


http://world.guns.ru/assault/as74-e.htm

So I was going through the website in the above link and found that weapon, the Korobov assault rifle was one of the competing designs that went through series of trials for being the next red army service weapon. According to the website the Korobov was found superior in nearly every way to its rivals but still the less effective and more complex AK rifle was chosen, weird politics I must say

Oh and check out the Korobov bullpup version too, looks cool and quite modern too for being 60 years old
What do you people think?
