MERIDIAN DEFENSE MDC-47 | FIRST MAG REVIEW

About this video

Colion shares his experience shooting an RPK light machine gun built by Meridian Defense as part of their ‘Four Horsemen’ series. He describes the RPK’s handling characteristics, recoil management, and balance with the drum magazine, and offers his perspective comparing the raw, exhilarating experience of shooting AK-pattern rifles to the more refined feel of AR-pattern rifles. Despite his enthusiasm for shooting the RPK, Colion explains why he would still choose an AR for functional reliability.

Key takeaways

• Colion characterizes the RPK as a ‘raw’ and ’exhilarating’ rifle to shoot, though heavy, with manageable recoil due to its weight and balance when equipped with a drum magazine
• Colion argues that while AK-pattern rifles offer a visceral shooting experience, he would still prefer the ‘sophistication and clinical nature’ of an AR-pattern rifle for functional, go-to use
• Colion uses extended metaphors (sports cars, dating) to illustrate his view that AKs are thrilling but ARs are more practical for serious defensive purposes
