As a local Hungarian, and my father being a military man handling that weapon, i can assure all of you, this weapon is one of the weapons of all time
Looks awful, and it works lol.
My dad also served in the Hungarian army. I think everyone had too. Hahahah

as a hungarian, its great to see that a weapon from my country holds this much sentimental value for you

I love seeing Hungarians getting props. My Hungarian grandmother who came straight off the boat to Ellis Island with my grandfather and 2 small children with $2 dollars to their name was the most amazing cook. The Hungarian dishes she cooked and baked were mind blowing delicious it has been over 30 years but i can still remember those wonderful smells from the kitchen like it was yesterday
As a hungarian, I would love to live abroad in the US just to own these cool fully automatic firearms
@@GaryVRyeh naw unless u got a nice Lil chunk of extra cash somewhere u aint getting a chance with these even if you were an American citizen unless of course u go the illegal route and just buy a switch and a block stupid as fuck and essentially useless sure illegal as fuck definitely but tbf from the amount of people showing off fully glocks on social media plus all the people I know I real life with fullys has made me realize tht the police honestly does not care long as u might actually be dangerous enough to use it like if you the guy who might like to indulge in more illegal activities then your average citizen and might actually shoot back yeh police aint trying to deal with tht they'd much rather have an easy time arresting harmless citizens for vertical grips or sum much safer on the job and easier on the donut filled gut ya know
I'm Hungarian. I was a soldier in 1992 and served with this weapon. I loved.
Én is, 1992-ben, augusztusban vonultam, és nálunk, a tűzszerész zászlóaljnál is ez volt rendszeresítve.
@@orangebulldog5948Fura ezt olvasni, mert én meg azt hallottam mindenkitől, aki szolgált, hogy elcseszett egy konstrukció, rohadtul kényelmetlen a fogása és a felhúzója hajlamos becsípni a kezet, ami elég fájdalmas.
@@gaborbenke9227 Akkor nem használták, csak beszéltek róla, kényelmes, sokkal könnyebb mint a fatusás AK47, és könnyebb a mozgás vele. Hogyan csípte be a kezét? Ezt nem kell felhúzni lővésenként ... Szerintem a legjobb változat volt.
Én 2003-ban voltam katona. Kiképzésen AMD-nk volt később AK 63/D. Szerintem jobb volt az AMD.
Tök mindegy, mert Magyarországnak nincs ezer Ft.- ja lőszerre, így nem is tudja használni senki .
What amazed me is that, after going full auto, that deer just wandered around on the trail in the background with not a worry. That's one chill deer.
I mean, it's one of Matt's deer. There's gunfire in those hills practically every day. They're probably used to it, especially coming to Demo HQ every morning for corn and stuff.
They run towards danger not away from it. Afraid of no one and picks fights with bear. Some might call them deer.... others? DEMO DEER!!
Whatever the case, that deer should be lucky it doesn't have a rack yet lol
That deer was like 100 yards away, it was probably like "is that an AMD-65? Lol, he can't hit me with that from there"
@@jamesburleson1916 - lol
I think it's safe to say Brandon has everything, next he'll say "I also have this Javelin with working rockets since I was 12."
Just cause he doesn't have a Javelin video doesn't mean he didn't buy one off gunbroker.
For that you'd have to go to @КрупнокалиберныйПереполох
Don’t give him ideas 🤣
My first AK was an AMD65. I still have it. Bought it in 2007 when I was 22 and I love it. It came with one 20 round mag, 2 30 round mags, and a 75 round drum. I also have a Romanian AK I built off a parts kit, by my 65 is by far my favorite!
Y'know, if you've got enough AK variants of one make like Hungarian or Yugos or anything like that, it'd be a really cool video idea to compare them. See what all the different models were specified for and what the thinking was for each design- it'd be really neat to bunch all the sister models together.
Thanks for the info, I was about to search for an Intel AK.

Served in the Hungarian army as a conscript. This rifle was amazingly stable and accurate at the range. Just a stock AK clone, nothing fancy, but it beats laps on the AK-63D, the other AK variant we used to have. The army doesn't have them any more, they were passed to the police, and some Arab countries, including Palestine and Iraq.
However, it's not a "paratrooper" weapon, this is a common misconception! The name AMD means "Automata Módosított Deszant", Automatic Modified "Dessant". The latter is a Russian word, and it means riflemen who disembark from a vehicle to fight. Paratroopers were called "aerial dessant" in Warsaw Pact terminology. For some reason, the Hungarians never called infantry "dessant", but we widely called paratroops "aerial dessant", now as a loanword from Russian. Thus the word "dessant" gained currency as a term for paratroopers, and paratroopers only. In fact, the AMD was meant for traditional "dessant", disembarking from a BMP or a BTR.
There lies the answer to "why the AMD-65 exists". It's a weapon with a short barrel and a foldable stock. It's much more convenient in the cramped space of a BMP.
Also fun fact: it's actually designated "AMD-65/5". The 5 isn't a version number: it means that a soldier would receive 5 magazines with it. One goes into the rifle, and four into a magazine belt.
Seems like the world is small, Tomcat. :) After all them years, I am still watching your old videos.

Awesome video! I alsonlove that on Matt's range, the deer just wander around knowing you are not out there to shoot them. They have not a care in the world. Matt has left lots of food around for them to eat. 😊
As a hungraian who's bloodline served: great-grandfather in ww2, grandfather in the cold war (he was a tank commander so he used the AMD a lot) my father only served a year but used the AMD. My mom is a police sergeant and was trained for the AMD. I feel honored that you made a video of one of the most iconic hungarian gun
And did you serve as well?

I've been waiting YEARS for this video. I absolutely love my AMD-65. Thank you so much! Mine was given to me as a christmas present about 13 years ago. ITM arms receiver, a few tapco parts here and there.
As a hungarian guy with a dad who was a soldier and shared me experiences with the Amd (one of them is that he literally burned down half of the range because tracer bullets were inaccurate at that time and it blasted into the dry grass) it feels good that you have a love for them too.
I think Matt said the deer are drawn to the gunfire because of the amount of food he's shot on the range. Hitting those steel target is literally ringing the dinner bell.

The deer just casually walking around in the background after that full auto dump had me rolling 😂
The AMD-65 was the first AK I ever built. I got the parts kit for my 21st birthday and soon bought all the tooling and put it together. The only thing I did to it was add an AMD65TECH cheek riser to it to make it easier to get a sight picture. I've ran that gun in a couple of carbine matches and it is by far my favorite 7.62 AK variant.

Both my Granddad, and Dad were in the Hungarian military, and I love listening to their stories about their service. Both of them worked as truck drivers for arms transportation, and were issued with AMDs as well.
Merry Christmas Senator Herrera🥳🎅🏼🎄🎁🎈💝
My favorite AK & addiction was Tapco's catalog full of AKMD 65's at unbelievable prices back in the day. I got so burned out from building them. That I still have 2 of the kit gun's I ran into in a recent move. They were Tapco's lowest priced kit gun's back in the 90s. Generally selling from $65-$69.99, or the handyman special of 5 for $250. They were such a novelty AK that they were hot sellers @ twice the price for less gun! Lol
And to expidite the assembly who needs rivits, we just spot welded the crap out of the receivers onto the trunnions. Making for some slick sexy smooth sided AK's that never fell apart. The 30rd mags were not a problem just grind the lip off the rear of the fwd grip & it was rock & roll all day. And do stuff some heat resistant wool into the barrel gaurd for added comfort. And that was my contribution to world peace in the 90s. That was back when a guy could still buy a sardine can of ammo at $45-50 for 1000rds. And that was a lot of all day fun on target
As a Hungarian I feel honored that Mr. Herrera himself had used one of our national relic. Köszönöm a Magyar nemzet nevében!
I as a hungarian am indeed proud. Good to be here, thank you Brandon.
Seeing the piston through the holes in the gas tube during the slowmo was pretty neat
I love the deer in the back we have the same on my property during hunting season. I have a small group of females' who know it's safe at my place so they hang out all season on my land . the ironic thing is 3 seasons ago they brought a flock of turkeys with them so now I have turkeys running around during turkey season .
The AMD65 was my "first" AK. I used it during vehicle inspections in Afghanistan. Mine was brand new when I got it.

As a Hungarian GenX, when I was 18, the we had obligatory military service. My AMD was the same 65 as in this vid, and I still remember the number of that gun... omg it was more than 30 years ago... I loved that gun. However, it was LOUD. And that time we did not get any earpro at the range. Soo... ringing ear for a few hours was the bonus of that day :D This generation can't even imagine how was it back then :D thank you Brandon, you given a great evening for me. If you come to Hungary, please let me know, we have ranges here too :D
This comment is why I love UA-cam. A solid remembrance of central European military service transposed to American 2A politics, which has universal appeal in its embrace of individual liberties. Thank you for your service many decades ago, and appreciation of fine military gear.

I need brandon to make a wooden plank pipegun. The Herrera Luty.
MIRV Launcher, but its based on Kresimir (hand-nade launcher)?
I own one. The muzzle blast is spectacular, the wire stock is not for precise shooting, and with no top hand guard, be careful where you put your hand. It is ultimate concealable and works best with a 20 round magazine.
I just want to say that I love seeing all the guntubers collaborating and using each other's ranges/platforms to create content for us pleebes to soak up while you make loads of money off of our need to see what you will do next! (it's not lost on all of us)
Man, as a Hungarian, I legitimately feel proud to have the AMD featured.
Also, wishing you the best of luck for Congress Brandon! :DD
My friend got a bunch of no name early pattern ak mags at a surplus store once on the super cheap and we both assumed they were cheap as crap norinco garbage, but we recently did some digging and found out they are actually original hungarian ak steel magazines that have just been beat to death because they were probably in 15 different warzones in the balkans before showing up here in 2006, and then this video came into my feed, neat, thanks brandon!
croats got em in 1990 probably from that series
Thank you for the video ! ☺♥
Years ago I had the amd65 with the od furniture. My first mod was shaving the foregrip to allow the 30 rd mag and bending the wire stock with a towel and a pipe wrench to fit my midget arms.
My grandfather was a second lieutenant in the Hungarian People's Army. He was born in 1955, conscripted in 1976. He served with the gun all through his military carrier along with the PA-63 what he hated. But he adored the AMD-65. He said it was powerful and accurate enough for what it was needed to be. As for the PA-63 he said you were more accurate with throwing it rather than shooting it. So yes, the AMD-65 holds a special place in my heart too. And so does it in mg grandfather's heart.
@@u2beuser714 nem Belgrád hanem Nándorfehérvár! 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺
He was right! The AMD65 is very accurate for a short barrel gun.
love that regardless of how much shooting you had just done, there was still a deer walking around in the background at about 10:30
Deer's gone deaf over the past few years.
She's actually there when he goes full auto 30 seconds earlier
This was also my first AK, about the same age.
Something advantageous about the stock is that it allows the easy use of a gas mask or NVGs, this carbine with a can and an LAM would be great for CQC in the dark.
First firearm was a 28" smoothebore mossberg 500a pump shotgun 12ga, first ak was a SLR 95 Bulgarian fully milled with slanted muzzle brake
The deer chilling in the proximity of a full auto is comedy gold
The Red Dot story reminded me of something I did in my younger days. I bought a Tasco red dot for 30 bucks and a receiver mount adapter for my Mossberg 500 for shooting slugs, because the barrel on it had a misaligned bead sight, and the mount and dot were half the cost of a new barrel. It survived maybe 4 months before it lost it's ability to hold Zero.
That's better performance than I was expecting, but yeah, still not adequate when you compare it to the cost of that new barrel!
@@eljefeamericano4308 I was finally able to afford picking up a new barrel roughly a year after that Tasco crapped out. Now, that Ol' 500 is my go-to HD firearm. I've Christened it the "Burgular's Worst Nightmare" I've owned the thing for 11 years, and had ONE failure. Extractor Claw had oil on it, and didn't catch the rim of an expended cartridge. Other than that, nothing. Mossberg 500's are tanks.
I bought a cheap $30 red dot and put it on a 6.5 Creedmoor bolt action. Surprisingly it held zero for the first 50 rounds. I've since upgraded to a proper Vortex scope. I still have the red dot for 22s though
Balls to buck the corporate censors. Keep up the good work.
I've watched a LOT of guntube and played a LOT of games with AKs in them, but this gun's sound is the absolutely most "cinematic" AK sound I've ever heard..gachunkunkunkunkunk - awesome.
Happy new year, Brandon
I love that Matt's unbothered deer friend made an appearance here lol
You'd think all the gunfire that range gets would scare them all away. They either have no self-preservation instinct or just have the largest lack of fucks eve recorded.
Deer must be deaf by now
I’m happy for you having that piece of personal history and nostalgia in your collection now, but I’m more impressed that Matt’s range has inoculated the local woodland critter population to the fear of neither people nor gunfire.
Hunting season has to be boringly easy around his place.
matt is a veterinarian not much hunting on his place or his dads
@@larrye1955being a veterinarian doesn't prevent you from enjoying hunting, just saying.
Matt doesn't hunt around his ranch if he hunts at all.
They are probably conditioned to come when bullets are fired. It usually means food for example watermelons or other things Matt blows up on the regular.
@@sam03151 In his recent video with the tacticool leverguns, the deer didn't give a shit even when he fired a suppressed 45-70 near it.

My first rifle I ever bought with my own money back in the day when things were chill was a WASR-10/63 UF. I saw that thing in the gunshop and I fell in love with it and had to have it. I saved most of my money from working on my local farm and went and bought her. Throughout the years I bought the proper dong for it but couldn't find a matching looking gas tube handguard so I went with the cheese grater. To this day it is one of my favorite and most cherished firearm.
My only AK is a WASR-10/63 with wooden furniture (except the stupid black plastic US grip). It's a little rough looking in terms of finish, but I kind of expect an AK to look like that, and I don't even know how much better a Russian one is, never held one personally. But it has worked flawlessly since I got it. It will drill clay pigeons at 50 yards without any issues, and I don't really feel like I need it to do any better than that. I think it was $450 in the local shop in like 2007. I don't even shoot much any more, it's to damn expensive, but it's nice to know that I have it.
@justforever96 The finish on mine isn't pristine, but it isn't overly worn especially for a military parts kit. I had issues with my front sight being canted so bad that I couldn't zero it. I just knocked the gas block pins and rotated it a bit. After I did that I could zero it and hit my steel silhouette target at 87 yards all day. A lot of the older WASRs had weird problems here and there. I have held a few russian AKMs and they look amazing and fit and finish are great. The import restrictions just made them annoying. I wish I bought the Saiga I held a few years ago and just went through the pain of converting it to a standard looking AK. I wish I had more money back in the day and stockpiled more 7.62x39 because I never shoot my AKMs anymore because it costs the same or more as 5.56 now.
As a hungarian I love to see this video, and love to hear somebody talkin about our (kind of) own weapon! Would really like to see one vid on the launcher variant too.
Also, that deer was just chillin.
The deer casually walking around in the background at the end after the mag dump is wonderful.
It didn't care one bit as it is the infamous deer that wears a kevlar vest.
It's like the deer living in the area the danish military use for artillery range and crawl pit, the deer just moves a few hundred feet in no hurry, then the leopards shoot for awhile and then the deer take over again 😂
I put parachord on my vz58. I also put some sheet metal under the beaver barf to mitigate the heat. I really like that rifle
If you thought your mods were dumb, I bubba'd the hell out of mine. I replaced the trunnion with a regular AKM one so I could put a Magpul stock on it, replaced the dust cover with a TWS rail, and modded a polymer handguard to replace the UTG one that came with the gun. When I got mine it also came with a weird funky tactical pistol grip.
Eventually found out the whole receiver was bent so the front end of the gun was going away right. Replaced the receiver and decided that I would restore it as well. So it's back to normal just I need to put a sling loop on it but I haven't been able to find one
10:50 I like the deer just casually walking in the background, Matt trained them well
As a Hungarian myself thank you Brandon for the love.
Hey Brandon!
Thank you so much!
I’m so happy to see this “legend” from our country. 😅
Unfortunately, I didn’t have the opportunity to shoot with it at the Hungarian Defence Forces(Magyar Honvédség)
I served a little time as a member in a mortar crew.
We have AK63Ds,P9RCs(sometimes 😂) and 82mm mortars
As shown in my profile picture, from a decade or so ago, the AMD65 was my first AK as well. Still have it, still love it.
I always remember the Hungarian AMD and thinking it looked dumb…but honestly it’s kinda cool now lol
No, it does look dumb.
SKS look dumb also, but I have about 8 of them form different countries.
@@Jason_556 SKS look awesome! Except for the M1/M2 carbine, SKS's were the best looking.
@@richardm3023i think the m1/m2 carbine look worse than the SKS lineage honestly. Mostly because the box mags ruin the parent platform's side profile imo.

The AMD-65 was my first rifle purchase as well. It wasn’t in the collection super long, but it’s awesome to see the real deal in action.
That deer just stood in the background while he mag dumped a AK. That deer is metal.
Amd 65 is goated its been my go to ak for over 20 years now . Easily one of the best variations.
I think the reason I watch these is because you're informative and your subtle humor.
A Brandon video a day keeps the ATF away...If only that were true we would all have a merry Christmas.
As a Dutch, I have been in Afghanistan in 2008, a Afghan police station, had a few guys with the AMD, full of glitter flower stickers! What a wonderful sight that was!
Did they receive after 2001? Or remained in stock from the Soviet times/civil war?
@@ShiningForce07
The AMD isn't a Soviet model. It is a version from a Warschaupact country.
I assume the rifle is gifted/sold after 2001.
I appreciate your honesty
My first Ak was Romanian Sar 3 $379 for gun 10 for shipping and 10 for guy to transfer. This was in 2000. I was 16.Have never personally seen another.223 except for a never fired pre 86 Chinese one at my local gun shop that cost $20,000. First time I shot it the weird wire spring clips that hold hammer and trigger pins in place came undone. Replaced with tiny hair pins I found in a kit and my dad's farm shop. Never bothered again. It came with a 10-round magazine and a plastic 30 round. Never has jammed except for if 30 round mag is too full. Can put 19 in. I love my Ak
Maybe I'm weird, but I really like the *look* of an AK with a 20 round magazine, especially shorty AKs. They look so balanced and beautiful in their own ugly way.
I traded the 30 rounder that came with my AR-15 just for that reason plus it got in the way
I prefer the 20 rounders
My first Canadian weapon was Maple syrup, I still have the bottle after 12 years 😅 🙃 Canucks know how to make syrup so good
I thought beavers were canucks 1st weapon?
Biting-End = Lethal force
big tail = non-lethal b1tch slapping
New England syrup is far superior to that commie tranny fluid
I remember my first ak it was a type 56 that dad bought home from Vietnam I've loved them every since ❤️ 💖!!!!
YOU DID IT!!! This is my all time favorite AK variant 😍thank you Brandon you are the man 👍🏻
Your Hungary joke actually had a tiny twist on it compared to the usual. Respect.
not even hungarian, but still happy that they are acknowledged, even more beacuse "Polak, Węgier, dwa bratanki, i do szabli, i do szklanki/Lengyel, magyar - két jó barát, együtt harcol, s issza borát"
The camera quality is nuts, my guy. Love it.
I love just how gun-proofed the wildlife is around Demo Ranch!
It brings back fond memories of gun-proofing one of my horses back in the day.
Brandon, i wholeheartedly thank you for feauring this beauty. Brings back a lot of memories from the times when i was a young fella, drafted into the Hungarian Army, and this was our issued weapon. I learned to fire an automatic weapon for the first time, and this was it. I can not say anything bad about it, mainly because you mentioned all of them in the video! I kinda missed the tear-down part, but its understandable, since theres nothing new in the inside compared to a standard AK-47. Was fun to tear it apart over and over, and clean it, not because it required it or anything, but because the officers commanded the whole squad to do so, in our "free-time" lmao. Good ol' days my oh my😂
As a Hungarian, I feel proud after watching this video! Thank you Brandon! Also, BOJLER ELADÓ!
A permetezőt hozd vissza te paraszt! :D
Igen
Nem lopott.
Love the photobomb from the range pet.
Great video. Thank you Brother.
God bless all here.
Imagine having one of these in 1967. Would've been profoundly handy back then.
For all the damn hippies?

I was thinking more the other side of the Pacific.
@@JohnAsparagus96 Funny enough Ive heard about a couple of Green Berets that used them in Vietnam and Cambodia and loved them. Its a good platform.
As a Hungarian, I can say that this video is a certified Hungarian classic
As a hungarian its really great to see you did this bit ty so much
Cool to see you guys out with Ronnie and the Funker team 💪🏽
The AMD 65 has always been one of my favorite variants. It is so different than other variants and it was in Rambo 3.
