A new modular assault rifle developed by Izhmash to replace the AK-74M and AK-10x series. Chambered in 5.45x39mm, 5.56x45mm NATO, 7.62x39mm, and 7.62x51mm NATO. The prototype was called the AK-200. It's called the AK12 now because it's supposed to enter production in 2012. It may replace or supplement the AK-74M as the standard Russian service rifle, since the Russian government can't afford to buy AN-94s for everybody (except certain Spetsnaz groups) at the moment. The 60-round 5.45x39mm magazine designed for the AK-12 will also work in the AK-74, RPK-74, AEK-971, and AN-94, as all of these guns share the same magazine design.

Apparently some hicks also call the Saiga-12, Vepr-12, and KS-K (Karabin Spetsialny Kalashnikova- the military version of the Saiga-12) "AK-12s" because they're chambered for 12 gauge shotshells.
I really hope they replace the AK-47 with the AK-12 and AN-94 in the next Call of Duty since only seriously impoverished terrorists use AK-47s these days.

Barrel Length, mm: 415
Sighting range,m: 1000
Machine gun weight, g: 3,400

Back to the future... Comeback of the 7.62mm cartridges is inspired by some weak points of low-impulse 5.45/5.56mm loads. More powerful than its predescent AK-74, this rifle employs many of today's new technologies. Long live AK-47 :-)
The AK-103 is replacing the AK-74.

The AK-101 is an assault rifle related to Kalashnikov's AK-47 with some tweaks, and is designed for the world weapons market. It uses 5.56X45 NATO bullets and is gas operated. However, even though it is new, the Russian army still use AK-74s.
AK-101 is a new gun out of the other AKs.

Semi-automatic 12 gauge shotgun built on the AK-47 design. Slightly modified to permit larger shell size, this excellent offering from Izmash Arsenal in Russia accepts box magazines holding between four and ten rounds at present. Larger capacities are rumored to exist. The stock weapon uses an adjustable gas system to permit it to cycle low-brass "target" loads or full-sized shells. A number of short-barrel highly customized versions are availabe and very attractive as home-defense and offensive weapons.
"What in Hell is that?"

"AK-12."

"You pay the extra $200 for the short-barrel on that? It looks vicious! And you've got a stack of 10-round clips loaded with buckshot! Is that body-armor you're wearing? You're better armed than me and my partner!"

"Yes, officer."

"Well, I got no reason to hold you. Have a good night."

God's own anti-son-of-a-bitch machine. It shoots the 7.62x39mm round of the AK-47, but is technologically built around the 5.45x39mm AK-74. The weapon is substantially more accurate than the 47, being effective to around 500 yards. It has the muzzle break of the AK-74, reducing recoil, and a fire rate of 600R.P.M. As with all AK's, be careful where you get your ammunition and your gun from, because of the wide variety of quality between makers. It is best to get these weapons directly from the Izmash (or is it Izmesh) website to guarantee a quality manufactuter.
I'm waiting till I'm done with college, then I'm getting myself a Kalashnikov AK-103 and fuck anyone who thinks it's a shitty gun.

What people who don't know guns would call a Saiga 12.

A Saiga 12 is a Russian designed Kalashnikov-pattern semi-automatic combat shotgun. It has excellent reliability due to it's AK style design and is manufactured by Izhmash in Russia. Pretty awesome, really.
Called an "AK-12" by the uneducated, Saiga 12's are classified as an assault weapons in California.

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
