TLP 262 - THE AK KORNER Part 3: AK-47 Ballistics

We are back with the 3rd installment of our 12 part series called The Talking Lead AK Korner presented by Pioneer Arms Corp!  Ballistics is the topic of the day and to help Lefty and Shwell talk about the AK-47 round and more the guys call in the man who literally wrote the book on the AK-47, BOOK OF THE AK-47, Mr. David Fortier with Firearms News Magazine. 

David brings decades of experience to this episode of the AK Korner.  After a decade in the Military Aerospace industry David began a writing career in the firearms industry penning articles for dozens of popular titles.  He is the recipient of the prestigious Carl Zeiss Outdoors Writer of the Year award.  David has expertise on foreign small arms, ammunition and optics.  In 2007 during the Iraq War he was embedded with the U.S. Army as a war correspondent.

David starts off  by telling us about the famous AK-47 ammunition, the 7.62x39mm round.  The 7.62×39mm round is a rimless bottlenecked intermediate cartridge of Soviet origin that was designed during World War II.  As the discussion progresses we learn about the AK-74 round, the 5.45x39mm round and the Dragunov's 7.62x54mmR round.  David also enlightens us on some rounds that were directly derived from the 7.62x39mm round the 6.5mm Grendel and the 9x39mm.

Lefty and Shwell read some listener submitted comments, suggestions and David fields some of your questions.  We also announce the winners of the Pioneer Arms Corp. AK parts kit and the AK-47 Hellpup!

Schoppmeyer

Christian “Chris” Schoppmeyer was many things to many people, a husband, a father, a grandfather, a federal marine law enforcement agent, a member of FLEOA, active in his town’s politics, and a volunteer who helped many kids learn to love and respect the outdoors.

Chris was dedicated to his career, but first and foremost he was a family man. He loved fishing with his son Travis, 33, hunting with his daughter Erin, 27, walking with his golden retriever Shadow, going to baseball games, spending time as “Pop-pop” with his grandchildren, and sharing his life with Terri, his wife, along with his many other family members and friends.

Benchmade Knives

Also during the trip and dedication events honoring Chris, we run into Brian with Benchmade Knives.  Brian does not disappoint when he makes an appearance on the show.  We talk about the newest line of knives and tools from Benchmade and the importance of learning how to use them.

Lanxang Tactical

Lanxang Tactical's owners fled the communist revolution of Laos and found their way to the states in the late 70’s. They started with nothing, and now own their own machine shop, having worked as technicians and machinists in the aerospace industry for years. Their belief that a society can and should defend itself from a predatory and oppressive government is based in hard experience, and led them to begin the process of making superior firearms. The name Lanxang came about as a tribute to one of the owners’ warrior heritage. It translates from Laotian as “one million elephants,” a phrase that related the military dominance of the ancient kingdom. Naturally, they liked the elephant as a symbol and it looked damn good on the rifle. Lanxang is 100% American owned and operated, their products are designed, manufactured and assembled in Conyers, Georgia, USA.
