The Nikonova AN-94: replacement for the Kalashnikov?

Article Abstract:

The Nikonova AN-94 selective-fire rifle is touted to be superior in performance to its much venerated predecessor, the AK-47 and AK-74. The AN-94 has the unique 'blow-back shifted pulse' system which in effect makes the rifle both recoil- and gas-operated. The AN-94's mean firing between failures is an astonishing 40,000 rounds.

Article Abstract:

The victory of the US Army Markmanship Unit at the Camp Perry competitions using the M16 assault rifle has proven that the latter is not a plastic toy gun as claimed by its critics. Heavier weight and more accurate ammunition were factors behind the M16's success.
