1988 Polish Tantal
If an unreliable AK pattern existed it'd most likely be one of these

I don't know why, but a grip pod on a bullpup always irritates me
>>32822390
what was wrong with tantal?
aside from being one of the most rad rifles in video game and cant-have lists
Apparently due to them rarely ever being used they found out all too late that they were engineered poorly and that they apparently were a stopgap measure which they were never replaced
>>32822398
They made it have a wonky three-round burst mechanism which was compounded by generally shitty Polish build quality caused stoppages.
Most US importers/builders who may have sold 1988 Tantals probably caught a bad reputation just based on the poor quality of the originals
Was never a service rifle in full production, but they were issued to small units
I'm calling this one shitty because it was a riced out G36 that the United States got meme'd by real fuckin hard. It also is one of the newest rifle designs, yet one that would have aged the most poorly in it's default trim

I never understood the curved top on this one. Was there any advantage over a flat top style or did we just fall for a space gun meme?
>>32822458
Reminds me of old office equipment wit the beige coloration and chunky plastic aesthetic.
Would make a sling out of computer cables for.

Grip pod on anything irritates me.

>muh looks
>muh won't get struck in sleeves and branches
>muh if there's no space left to attach anything but our proprietary accessories, we'll make more money
that's about it
>>32822421
aside from this though Polish build quality is pretty nice for service weapons
>>32822373
Is the fish boat really that shit of a gun or has TFB meme'd me into thinking it's a good gun, never shot one obviously.
>>32822421
That's interesting, because on many occasions I heard American users praising their Tantals.

>never shot one obviously.
Me neither but I could finger-fuck it once at a gunshow.
This grip is an abomination, I cannot imagine what ware the designers thinking.
>>32822403
This
The G36 is the biggest pile of garbage i have ever shot in my life
The military and the civil version suck, all the German soldiers i know hate it and all the civilians who buyed one sold it again as fast as possible
>>32822968
even airshit fags hate them
Shittiest both figuratively, and in this pic literally
>mfw a country that can't even build an AK clone will be a superpower by 2020
>>32823033
>all that shit in one picture
POO
>>32823033
Well some of them must be managing something right.
>>32823033
If it's not an AR it goes in the trash.

>There was also a problem of oil being sprayed into the eye of the operator.
>magazine cracking due to the cold
H.. how is it even POSSIBLE to fuck up that badly!
>>32823033
>rear sight on dust cover
Sounds great.
Fixed the OPs image.

it's india weapons contracts are sold to the guy who bribes them the best
they buy ak's from hungry or some other country when russia is closer to them and it's cheaper
>>32823321
Meh, corruption is everywhere, even in Estatos Unis, that can't be all to it.
>>32822421
'generally shitty Polish build quality' Can you please elaborate?
>>32822373
that looks likethe most tacticool'd piece of shit I've ever seen
>>32822898
>>32822458
Fuck you fags and your bullshit it was the most reliable rifle in the army trials.
>>32823316

I had more problems with my AMD-65.
>>32823302
Won't lose zero if the fitting and tolerances are tight enough.

World's best and the most accurate AK-variant has sights on the dust cover. The Finnish RK-model.
