Sweetwater Operator' Mk.72 "Сокол"

Fun build, Modern Russian small-arms need love too ;)

 

During the Ameri-Russo-Arab war in 2017, Co-operational American and Russian forces often went days without ammunition resupplies in heavy combat zones, Russian operating forces often found themselves attached to American units with plentiful amounts of NATO 5.56 ammunition but no 5.45 ammunition, this led to a request for a modernized Russian rifle firing a NATO caliber.

 

Sweetwater USA (We need a SPW Russia guys) picked up the request and developed the Mk.72 rifle, a highly-modified and modernized Russian tacticool AEK-972. The uniqueness of the design was kept, while the ergonomics were improved and "westernized". Among many features, the Mk.72 utilizes a built-in handguard micro red dot that can co-witness the iron sights.
