My mistake.
My fault for not being clearer...
Well of course the end result is going to be. I was referring to the process of actually buying all the new weapons and replacing all of the old ones.
They still have to replace weapons that were meant to be replaced by the weapon they're replacing.
A less obvious problem is that they are also working on a brand new weapons family that might include new calibres, or perhaps even new types of ammo, so I suspect a large portion of existing stocks will be upgraded till the newer products are ready.
Of course a shift to new ammo types can be expensive, but lighter cheaper more compact ammo would pay for itself in a few years.
I suppose I shouldn't judge the AN-94 without personally having handled it, but to me it seems that it's more hassle than it's worth. If you're using 5.45x39, AK is good enough accuracy wise imo. If you need a little more precision than an SVD would be a lot cheaper than an AN-94.
I agree, we can really only go by why we have heard about the weapon, if the AK12 can match its accuracy and at the same time is rather easier to use and handle and is also cheaper and easier to make and train people to use then it becomes a bit of a no brainer.
Putting two rounds on target at once is cool, but a 7.62x54 to the chest will likely have the same effect.
Very true, and able to do it to much greater ranges.
Although I suppose that's a weird thing to say without ever having had the chance to fire any of them.
I very much share your wish for better hands on knowledge of such things.
I have read that the Gyurza had a particularly light trigger pull, and that the grip safety has a lot of critics.
Personally I think with such a pistol that a proper hold of the weapon should ensure activation of the safety release and if you aren't holding it properly you shouldn't want it to go bang.
So it's been adopted for the future soldier program?
It was part of Barmitza:

if you scroll down it includes the PYa, GSh-18, and SR-1M.
Oh God I want it. .
That spec sheet doesn't match the weapon... that is an SR1 (Gyurza pistol), not an SR-2 SMG...
This is an SR2:
Which is a SMG in 9 x 21mm, while the SR-3 is an AS replacement in 9 x 39mm calibre.
Now if only they would bring factory dragunov's here.
I suspect these changes are because Russia is now a member of the WTO and it is not legal to just ban weapons from a specific country.
That would suggest that all those weapons the Russian Army wants to get rid of might find a home in American Gun cabinets...
Start saving up boys...
