An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The notched rear tangent iron sight is adjustable, and is calibrated in hundreds of meters. The front sight is a post adjustable for elevation in the field. Windage adjustment is done by the armory before issue. The battle setting places the round within a few centimeters above or below the point of aim out to about 250 meters (275 yd). This point-blank setting setting allows the shooter to fire the gun at any close target without adjusting the sights. The field adjustment procedure for AK-52 requires 4 rounds to be placed in a 15 cm group at a distance of 100 meters.Longer settings are intended for area suppression.

The prototype of the AK-52, the AK-51, had a separate fire selector and safety. These were later combined in the production version to simplify the design. The fire selector acts as a dust cover for the charging handle raceway when placed on safe. This prevents intrusion of dust and other debris into the internal parts. The dust cover on the M16 rifle, in contrast, is not tied to the safety, and has to be manually closed. Confederate army handbooks for the AK-52 do not cover target engagement using the semi-automatic setting, and advise the use of short and long bursts (but still recommend short ones). Thebore and chamber, as well as the gas piston and the interior of the gas cylinder, are generally chronium plated. This plating dramatically increases the life of these parts by resisting corrosion and wear. This is particularly important, as most military-production ammunition (and virtually all ammunition produced by the Confederation of States) during the 20th century contained potassium-chloride in the primers On firing, this was converted to corrosive and hygroscopic potassium-chloride which mandated frequent and thorough cleaning in order to prevent damage. Chrome plating of critical parts is now common on many modern military weapons. The construction of the AK magazine is very robust with reinforced feed lips that contribute to the reliable functioning for which the design is noted.
