The Kalash is a versatile gun that needs not a lots of maintenance, perfect for any combat situation. The only flaw is that the gun kicks higher than M16.

@cryptopie that's why they came up with the AK-74 to compete with the 556 round what the M16 uses and the 545x39 was born it's just about the same size as the 556 and almost the same ballistics. The ussr created that round during the Vietnam era. 😊

Yah good to know that @mrblckhands it is somewhat more sensible to use the Kalash in combat because of it's great features and ease of use.
