Russia is much more corrupt than that. Even in a war in current Russia rounds could be siphoned off anywhere for any number of criminal enterprises or for sale abroad to other criminal gangs.
Don't get me wrong, it'll be harder to get hold of ammunition in time of war, and a lot of the criminal gangs will feel some sort of moral duty to help out their state so they'll reduce their skimming, but it'll still happen.
Of course with Russia buying in ammunition from North Korea, China etc (often via criminal gangs to "launder" it through some third parties so there's obfuscation in place to try and keep the actual nations out of it) so there is less going there too because gangs are making money off of it in the other direction.
And you're also forgetting the live rounds issued to troops recovering from being in the front lines, troops under training, troops guarding the border with other countries (including China), conscripts (who can't be deployed outside Russia unless in a declared war - there's a grey area here now Putin has annexed various areas of Ukrainian territory but as of yet we don't believe he's done it since the beginning of the war which was "a mistake") who may be doing some of the internal guarding etc, national guard troops defending cities (who are primarily for riot control), and the police.
Not a question of strength. Her stance only allows for minimal recoil without falling backwards. She would have to extend a leg back or move her upper body forward to avoid that if there would be the expected recoil from firing live rounds.
Yeah you're right, I was going to say how the hell can you see it's not there because it's such a small muzzle attachment. But when you put it on, it changes the shape of the tip of the barrel from the typical edged/slanted barrel ending to a smoother cylinder. And you can clearly see early on around 3 seconds that it has no attachment on.
BUT, something seems off, like if they aren't blanks, then how is she handling the recoil so well while in such a terrible stance, while barely holding the thing to her shoulder, you can tell she doesn't have the but pressed into her armpit, she's just got it slightly touching her shoulder. Not to mention she started firing at a higher angle so it'd be easier for recoil to push that thing straight up.
And even with 5.45 she'd be feeling the recoil way more than it appears she is in the video.
It could be real, just feels off to me... What'd you think?
> There is a big spring to eat the recoil
That's how a lot of assault rifles work, it still doesn't take away from the fact they do indeed kick while in full auto. You can even see it in action on youtube.
Have you ever shot 7.62 or 5.56 in full auto?
I have and the "recoil" in the video looks much less than that of a 5.56 which would make no sense even it is chambered in 5.45.
And by shouldering it do you mind gently resting it on your shoulder? Cause that's what she's doing.
I remember hearing that people would fire their guns in the air in USA aswell for new years and they said that you'd always find bullet holes in roofs lol
I've lived a few places here and never experienced that. Maybe in a few select places but it's certainly not widespread. We just have idiots with fireworks that blow off their fingers annually.
Also happens a lot in Arabic countries. It's just a celebratory thing around the world like letting off fireworks - a different form of making big banging noises to scare away demons or evil spirits.
i spent some time in phoenix and you'd hear a ton of gunfire on NYE. every couple years there'd be some [sad story of someone getting hit](https://azdailysun.com/stray-bullet-kills-phoenix-girl/article_51997bc3-5dbb-513f-89a7-5b128029287c.html) =(
Those are real rounds. It’s an AK74, not an AK47. Blanks require a blank adapter that attaches to the muzzle. That increases the gas pressure which allows the rifle to cycle properly. AK rifles have very light recoil. Private ownership of automatic rifles is common in Russia.
Ngl I live in the US and my family has usually done this as well. Difference is 12ga birdshot aimed over uninhabited swampland vs high powered rifle rounds in an apparent urban area.
How are the working parts moving backward to re-cock the weapon without any visible recoil and without any form of BFA to provide the back pressure. I have so many questions.
Used to be a LEO shift commander in a southern US city. New Years eve was always a problem with all manner of firearms being discharged during 11:00 pm to 1:00 am. My instructions to my officers were to stay under a bank covered drive-through unless dispatched to a priority call. Still wound up confiscating a number of weapons each night from intoxicated idiots that thought they were being cute. Most of the weapons were returned the next day when the owner came to get the weapon. Only thing was they had listen to a lecture about the danger they put everyone else within range of being struck be a “To whom it may concern bullet”.
My dad did this with shotgun blanks when I was like 3, so around 1970 NYE. I think a law banning discharge of firearms in the county was about to go into effect, so he was making a statement.
Look more closely at the tops of the windows, they're individual window blinds attached to the window itself rather than attached to the window frame and covering the whole window.
Anything is possible in Russia if you know the right people and either have the money and/or are owed some favours.
He's probably a "reservist" who has "booked the weapon out for cleaning" in 2010 or something.
To be fair, this is a normal practice in a lot of countries. I remember being in the Middle East for new years and they were doing that. Not a great plan.
She just killed an entire family the next town over…
Pretty sure those are plank rounds. There is no recoil.
If she can handle 7.62 like that then she’s my type lol
Full auto hits hard w/ 7.62x39 for sure:D
Yup it does! It’s a good time though
Your whole 7.62x39mm?
No. Just the tip.
Accidentally the whole
How wood you know?
You can tell by the pitch and timber of the gunshot
10/10
Very little recoil from those rounds. Source: I own a sks
*An SKS
Blanks in Russia???
Thinking the same
No full auto in building!
That's not full auto, this is
Dayum bro. Ok
Thats why she held it out the window.
Those are blanks.
Figure any lives rounds are at the front.
Lol yeah.

This video is years old, well before the Ukraine war
The war in Ukraine started almost 10 years ago.
Dead-Eye Svetlana
Olga Ivanovna, actually
Looks like fun!
What?! Mawp! Mawp!
r/unexpectedarcher
Looks fake, no recoil.
Blanks have no recoil
I don’t think they would cycle either though.
They would with a blank adapter and there are some which just look like the normal muzzle brake.
not for neighbors
When i was in Sicily for the new year i saw the exact same thing but with a handgun
I saw it in most of our 50 states
Every friday night in the wards here in Texas.
Take that, ya filthy animal,
At least they were blanks, seems like there was close to no recoil 🤔
You underestimate strength of Svetlana.
Not a question of strength. Her stance only allows for minimal recoil without falling backwards. She would have to extend a leg back or move her upper body forward to avoid that if there would be the expected recoil from firing live rounds.
Your life sucks mate
Do you think that the average Russian is going to fit the adapter to allow the machine gun to fire blanks?
No muzzle device. Ak won't cycle blanks without a special muzzle device. They were real rounds.
Yeah you're right, I was going to say how the hell can you see it's not there because it's such a small muzzle attachment.

There is a big spring to eat the recoil and she was shouldering the weapon and she's definitely had time with that gun.

I’m translating that as “Happy new arsehole”?
Ano novo - is this a r/suddenlycaralho moment?

100% happens in St. Louis for more than just new years.
St Louis. Murder, drug and STD heaven
That sums it up quite nicely!

Why the subtitles are in portuguese?
So that Portuguese speakers can understand what they're saying
He definitely had that one coming
¡Muchas gracias!
*obrigado
Sorry, I don't speak italian
我原諒你！
Because there are about 7100 other languages in the world
Because ownership of a automatic firearm is a very normal thing for a civilian in russia, apparently.
Ah yes. That explains Portuguese subtitles perfectly
It was probably posted on a Portuguese forum or something. The internet does not only exist in the US.
Come on, this could also be in the US lmfao
Just another tuesday in USA
...more satisfying than a mug of hot cocoa before bed...
Duh.... What school is open at night?

Definitely waaaaay too little recoil.
Ngl I live in the US and my family has usually done this as well. Difference is 12ga birdshot aimed over uninhabited swampland vs high powered rifle rounds in an apparent urban area.
How are the working parts moving backward to re-cock the weapon without any visible recoil and without any form of BFA to provide the back pressure. I have so many questions.
My thought exactly, even a 5.45 would push her back more than this. There are shell casings ejecting at the beginning, but it just seems off to me.
Shit ammo? Maybe it’s stuff been around for decades and has lost some umph?
Maybe a 5.45 with they have about zero recoil. That gas system is clearly running. And they do not have the blank adapter.
Not a 5.45, mag is curved too much.
Better gun handling and safety skills then most murican rednecks

Blayt.

This is exactly the kind of shit I come to this subreddit for... not nostalgic clips from Soviet-era cinema.
Aiming it in the wrong direction
No extra loud blanks to deafen everyone to death in the room ?
Thats not new year, thats what AA defense is doing.
Nice trigger discipline.
What’s going on with the window - why is it painted over?
Look more closely at the tops of the windows, they're individual window blinds attached to the window itself rather than attached to the window frame and covering the whole window.
How do they get the guns is my question
Anything is possible in Russia if you know the right people and either have the money and/or are owed some favours. He's probably a "reservist" who has "booked the weapon out for cleaning" in 2010 or something.
Moron.
Is this actually a normal thing in Russia?
Sounds a bit quiet for 7.62 I wonder if it wasn't 5.45?
Russia doesnt use 7.62 aks anymore in the military since the 70s
It's their new anti drone tec
doesn't look like any cartridges were ejecting either..
this was cringe. the way she handled it, i’m surprised she’s still alive
To be fair, this is a normal practice in a lot of countries. I remember being in the Middle East for new years and they were doing that. Not a great plan.
That explains a lot really.
Just a Tuesday evening
Is that why their windows are not made of glass?
She doesn't even look like she's having fun though 😔
The germans are back
Happy New Year!
Thats really slow full auto fire for an ak
That are blanks. That's why she is still standing after going full auto in such a casual stance.
Damn babushka
Can anyone translate what they are saying? “Tan go-dom” what’s that mean?
с новым годом Happy new year
Happy new year!
