YouTube - AK-47 Magazine Change

(seems like he just slides his hand down to activate the mag catch and knock the spent mag away)

(this one im suspicious of, seems a little too fast)

sorry if its a repost.

The second one is a little old, but still very interesting, and also very real, but also that is a real AK from what I understand.

Holy hell, I like the first one. Just because of stoopid tight mag fitting, I don't think I'd be able to try and reload that fast with my AK

thats what i want to do when i grow up.

Tonight my girlfriend has a class so I'll practice AK mag tossing.

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

yeah mate. all the cool kids are practicing how to toss their "load" all over the room as fast as they can ;)

Those mag changes are sweet. The second one looks cool, but I don't get the "gangsta" tilting of his rifle before and afterwards. Is he checking for stoppages or proper charge handle seating? lol

LOL! its all about speed now a-days. Just get-er-done! =P

If you read the comments you'd see that the general consensus was that he was checking for a jam, and to make sure everything is alright there, but I don't know how he could see anything doing it that fast.

I actually practice a very good mag tossing thanks to Tokyo's avatars.

AK has no bolt hold open.. so when it stops firing the IA is to check, ( confirm action is forward ) change mag, cock, and check action is in battery and continue firing... what he did is 100% by the book.

After what your gf told me, you should be practicing something else :D

That first video is exactly how I reload, though i'm not as fast.

Can really scratch up the mag release though. I put a little piece of electrical tape on it for grip/protection.

I've been doing the same thing for awhile.
