armoury G&G PRK-9 The receiver is 100% AK but a plastic magazine block attached to the handguard allows the weapon to feed from 9mm pistol magazines, specifically Beretta 92 magazines and for a twitch under US$400, the PAK-9 comes with two ten rounders. You can fit an interchangeable magazine adapter for it, that allows you to convert from Beretta to Glock magazines easily and without tools and the package includes a threaded barrel, the Glock mag adapter, sling and rear adapter for mounting a pistol brace or SBR stock (after NFA approval). Now, whether or not the G&G design team took inspiration from the PAK-9, the fact of the matter is that they have created something that on the face of it is a bit “out there” but actually has a grounding in the real firearms world! This to me simply reinforces the joy of owning a PRK-9 RTS, as it takes it from a “play AEG” to something a little more serious, and something that could, with its 40BB mags actually sit in the right themed game, up to and including being in the hands of a belligerent modern OPFOR in a MilSim setting! Whilst models like the MP5K, the CZ Scorpion and indeed the entire plethora of “9mm ARs” are all very well, at heart I am definitely an “AK Chap” and the PRK-9 RTS really sings to me because of this! I believe that after much thought I shall be adding one to the “Kalashnikov Kollektion” because it’s superbly made, shoots well, and is actually a genuine addition to the ongoing story of the much- revered AK. Whether it was luck or fine judgement, once again G&G Armament have come up with the goods and full credit to them for another fine series of AEGs that I am certain we’ll be seeing on sites around the world very soon! My thanks go to G&G (www. guay2.com) for supplying the test model, and to UK distributors www.nuprol.com for facilitating delivery.
