    From a business perspective, as firearms technology has advanced, the need for long barrels to achieve useful velocities has fallen largely by the wayside. Firearms like the Romanian-made AKM-based “Draco” pistol are an exceptional choice for home defense, and are relied upon by a great many Americans. The addition of a brace to a “Draco,” or similar, yields what is likely the most optimal choice for an all-round defensive firearm. The market clamors for these firearms, and the industry has noticed. As a result, may small dealers have these firearms in stock, and have been put in an awkward position by the ATF’s recent about-face: stuck with thousands of dollars of inventory they are afraid to sell in the configuration demanded by the right-willed consumer.

    • @theguy9208
      @theguy9208 3 місяці тому

      rifles are not an exceptional choice unless you live in the country or hate your neighbours. any shotgun would be safer for your kids in the next room and have more stopping power than any rifle or handgun.

    I think the Draco series of AKs are pretty neat. I prefer the 12 inch barrel model, which is the actual Draco AK. The model in the video is a micro Draco with the shorter 6 inch barrel.. There is also a mini Draco with a barrel length around 8 inches. These are all very fun and cool looking guns, especially with the folding brace or a folding stock. The 12 inch version is that best all-around size for compact AKs in my opinion, better powder burn, less muzzle blast, higher velocity and better accuracy.

    • @dashcammer4322

      I've never understood why people think a draco is silly, but you never seem to hear anyone say that about an aks-74u. For a short barrel pdw, it seems to me that 762 makes more sense than 545 anyway. But I'm certainly no expert on these things, so maybe there's something I'm misunderstanding.

    Short answer, yes. Long answer yes because the muzzle flash blinds you and the noise deafens you the barrel size robs the round of power. So half the power twice the flash twice the report. The accuracy is comparable to a pistol. So all the disadvantages of a pistol with all the disadvantages of a rifle. It's caca.

    People don’t blink when talking about a 300 AAC HD pistol, suppressed or not. Add a brace and a 3 piece flash hider, and it’s a PDW.

    I think about 3-4 more inches of barrel would help a lot and would get a good boost in velocity and still be very compact.

    The problem with the Draco is that it’s compact enough to carry in a backpack and criminals love that.

    I had a century as 47 from 20 plus years ago I purchased new, it key holed new out the box, and I sold it to the first guy who wanted it. He fired a bunch of corrosive ammunition in it and destroyed it.
