29,127
Published 2019-03-03
We begin with a brief history of the PP19 Bizon and Vityaz-SN SMGs used in Russia, as well as Izhmash's semi-auto Saiga-9 carbine.
Then we compare the KR9 with two Izhmash imports, the SGL31-94 and SGL12-94 to see how close K-USA got to an authentic clone.
On to the main event, we run 500 rounds through the new carbine at the range, trying several ammo brands and 5 OEM mags.
And to finish up we return to the table for disassembling and a look inside; plus some final thoughts on today's results.
Part #2 will be a 'Discussion At The Range' episode where we both pit the KR9 against the Romanian Nova PAK9 and NAK9.
So stay tuned for that and more.
