Russians still issue AKMS with suppressors for literally this very reason. Dont know about Canadians.

oh look /arg/ is taking to the streets.

>>32632302
7.62x39 is still used by the Russians for that purpose you dummy

>>32632302
7.62: a great CQB cartridge

The end

>>32632302
>Russians still use AKM/S on an operational basis.
>Have also sized the cartridge up to 9.3mm and 12.7mm where beneficial.

While I'm sure the FDF would love to issue a new rifle in 5.56 for NATO compatibility and larger availability, the investment is not worth it considering the budget, Rk 62 with it's iron sights and 7.62x39 is still very capable of killing people

Here's the thing. Finn ammo isn't shit.

>>32632302
Rifle is fine, cartridge is fine
>>32632359
Not really but it's still a fine cartridge.

>>32632322
>Don't know about Canadians

Have not deployed in an enviornment with dense brush in well over.. ever.

We should have never switched from the L1A1

>>32632302
Canadians and Russians mostly operate in open areas. Deserts, steppes, cities...

>>32632424
this.

>>32632821
>steppes
just like finns

>>32632393
>12.7mm ak derivative
...w-what?

>>32632322
canadians still use supressed AKMS

>>32633185
Not him, but they have the Ash 12.7 which is based off the A-91 series, which takes its action from the 9A-91

literally why would we switch when the combat ranges inna dense forest are rarely over 100m

does 5.56 penetrate trees BETTER than 7.62 now?

>>32632302
>965067
Ya dun goofed

>>32632302
because Finns know 7.62 is best caliber

>>32633544
556 will penetrate better but it is affected by small brush more.

>>32632302

Russians still issue 7.62x39. OP SUKETTA DIK!

ITT Finns didn't fall for the tacticool bullshit cost effective nato baby wounder

>>32633865
>intermediate cartridges are tactical bullshit
get a load of this dumbass

>>32633880
7,62x39 is intermediate.

>>32633880
>implying that he was implying intermediate cartridges are tactical bullshit, when 7.62x39 itself is an intermediate cartridge

They should switch to 6.5 Grendel.

>>32633764
>556 will penetrate better
literally shatters upon impact with any typical Nordic tree.

>>32632302
Why not switch to 22lr?
