LCT - AMD7465 "Hungarian" AEG (AMD65)

Automata Mäos´ott Deszant 1965

Back in the 1960's the Hungarians, like many other Eastern Bloc/Warsaw pact countries, produced their own version of the venerable AKM. The Hungarian versions were particularly idiosyncratic, The "Deszant" version was a specially shortened version, made for use by vehicle bourne troops, special forces and of course Paratroopers. Much lighter and easier to manouvre in confined spaces, but still giving the Hungarian trooper maximum fire power at close range with 20 or 30 rounds of 7.62x39mm in a package the same size as a sub machine gun. The wire monobrace stock and the use of ventilated steel for the front handguard meant that it was easily distinguishable from the Soviet AK. The package was completed with a giant muzzle brake/flash suppresor to control recoil at the expense of extremely loud muzzle report!

Although it was replaced fairly quickly by the cheaper less "gucci" AM63, The AMD65 has resurfaced in the past few years and has found favour with Special Forces and Private Military Contractors particularly in the Afghan theatre. Many Blackwater PMC alumini will use the AMD65 as their first choice due to rugged construction and its inherent design features that give it maximum firepower in the smallest possible package."
