I ve heard a very good feedback about PKM machine gun. Its lightqweight for its class (around 8 kg), can fast change barrel without instruments and uses strong round. I ve heard someone call it automatic sniper rifle. I guess its supposed to be good at shooting too.

I really want to say Ak-47 because... well its true. BUT just to change things up, Im going with the balistic knife used by the Spetsnaz.
Imagine it in a knife fight? *Jabs with knife* *other guy grabs arm, stopping knife inches from neck* "Ha, almost" *pushes button, knife is balistically (or via spring in newer models) propelled into neck.

For me it would no doubt be the MiG-15.

Actually Ive never even played the multiplayer on Black Ops. I know that there is a balistic knife in that game, totally wrongly portrayed. But I knew about the weapon long before that game made it a fad for kids to stick springs on knives.
**Edit** But seriously, how much of a edge would that give you in a knife/hand to hand fight? Having a stabing inpliment in your hand, that could be used as a projectile weapon. Aside from loosing your knife when you used it... "I know that after my death a pile of rubbish will be heaped on my grave, but the wind of History will sooner or later sweep it away without mercy."

I think the shoe knife used by the KGB would be pretty sweet too.
06 Apr 2011, 04:18
Havent heard of that one. Im assuming its just like it sounds? A James Bond-esq stamp foot knife comes out the end?
Try getting that onto a airplane now.... Actually Im putting in another vote. The umbrella gun. Fires a poisoned pellet, with next to no sound. I am sure it was used by the Soviets... or maybe it was against them. I know there was a high ranking offical assasinated using it.

The AEK-971. Of course I've never shot one before but the science behind it's operating system makes sense. And if they have managed to reduce the already virtually nonexistent recoil of the AK-74 enough that the russian millitary is planning to adopt it then it must be fairlly effective.

RT-23 Molodec is cool too.A train-based intercontinental ballistic missile!

The MiG-29 Fulcrum....still my all time favorite fighter. Whether it is flying in NATO or Warsaw Pact colors trully a beautiful bird. Personally though, I always liked the DDR paint scheme as shown below.
 Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.

Su-35
As I heard (i haven't found any similar claims on the internet, but to be honest, i haven't even looked) Sukhoi 35 was a mystery for the USA until the very end of the Soviet Union. Apparently, none of the US pilots flying over the Artic circle survived the encounter with a Su-35 to tell anything about it. Su-35 was a class better from any Western fighter: supermanouverability unparalleled in any other aircraft (proving the above statement correct), ability to shoot air-to-air weapons from any angle. helmet-mounted-display with the ability to lock and shoot weapons (pure sci-fi for then-modern Western fighters)...

My 1944 Izhvesk Arsenal M44 carbine. It's Re-arsenaled and has electro-penciled numbers on the bolt, mag plate and butt pad. But I like it none the less.
I would like to have an M91/30 with a PU mount and scope fitted, but I curious at mounting a scope on the M44.

A vehicle that made a splash when it appeared was the BMP transport. One of the first attempts at a personnel carrier that can ambush and kill tanks.

Under communism, there is no freedom; you are not free to live in poverty, be homeless, to be without an education, to starve, or to be without a job |
