Interesting that they appear to have kept the 5.45 and 7.62x39 while adding both NATO calibers for it. Zastava appears to have dropped the 5.45x39 while adding the NATOs. They also are giving theirs different model numbers. P.S. Wiki notes the AK-12 as being produced in 6.5 Grendel, 9x39, and 12 ga as well. P.P.S. Hadn't seen that 9x39 before. Looks like a good cartridge for highly built up areas. |
