In 2003, the Ukraine Machine Boar was created, which is essentially a bullpup broken AK-74M. And very well broken. Most problems Bullpup in it have been eliminated. And those that are in it have not been eliminated, they have been removed in its logical continuation - Vulcan. At this same time, the idea of
a boar came to a head in the machine Vulcan-M (aka Maluk - translated kid). Now the machine is now even more ergonomic in such a polymer body, like a Vulcan. However, the Vulcan-M is now in the tradition of modern rifles NATO in general has lost the mechanical sight. That is now the sights are just for him or optical or collimator. While almost all of the top of the receiver was put Picatinny rail, which can be installed just any modern sight of NATO (and not NATO - also almost any). Plank appeared at the bottom. on it you can attach LCC, or a strategic lever. Just like its predecessor Vulcan, Vulcan-M and quick-mounted silencer. Overall, the Ukrainians got the machine or slightly worse than the Tavor TAR-21. At about the same size and weight, not less reliable, not less convenient and much cheaper. Shooting from the Vulcan-M, as well as from a volcano, it is possible from any shoulder, though this should alter volcano so that the ejection window was or right (for right-handers) or left (for left-handers). This ergonomic handle cocking the shutter when shooting does not move, which eliminates the possibility ogresti its fingers or chin. In order to powder gases do not hit in the face arrow has a special screen. Vulcan-M exists only under 5,45h39mm. Sami stores from Kalashnikov assault rifles are inserted into a special magazine shaft, which helps to better capture the store, as well as facilitates the abutment store. However, it does not allow the use of multi-row shops and wheels. in terms of the entire fire control knob comes a special bracket. It complicates the machine knocking out of hand shooting. Fuse in the machine is above the trigger, which is very convenient. A WTO translator firing modes rear right, which is very inconvenient. In general, Volcano is quite a modern machine or slightly better than things such as the same Tavor, Steyer AUG A-3 or FN F-2000. What awaits Volcano in the future? Unknown. While he and produced in Ukraine under the Tavor 5,45h39mm until there is only in the SBU. Let us hope that in the future it will become more frequent.
