The Russian "Mp5"
Who are the Russian "knights"? The Vityaz (which, as you must have guessed by now, means "knight" in Russian) is a group of Russian elite law and order forces, like a SWAT team. And they are the ones who commissioned Izhmash, the legendary AK factory, an evolved model of the unsuccessful PP-19 Bizon submachine gun.

This new MOSFET helps achieve higher ROF and faster trigger response without fear of burning out the electrical system.
The pistol grip is identical to that of the AK-100 series, smooth and larger, which is a good thing for those who have big hands, although we miss some non-slip material.
The upper Picatinny RIS that it includes is a characteristic of Vityaz-SN (a modified version of the model), although it doesn't have others such as the cocking lever on the left side or the additional safety on the left side of the body.
It also includes a side support to attach a scope (as if the RIS wasn't enough) in addition to the sights... you will surely be able to aim properly!
Unlike the rest of the family, this model physically blocks the coking lever when it is in the highest position, that is, the "safety's".
The most peculiar feature in this AK SMG is the magazine, which makes the body shorter and includes a plastic receiver for the magazine which resembles more and MP5 than an AK.
The Vityaz carries a foldable skeleton stock as seen in AKS-74 used by the paratroopers. With the exception of the body restraint system that forces us to push the stock upwards to release it and a slight redesign that makes it more ergonomic.
The stock is comfortable, especially if the wrap in paracord, which improves shouldering and provides a more tactical style. And we suggest that you place the belt through the stock before hooking it, you won't be able to fold the stock but it will prevent the replica from turning upside down.
