Why is the barrel on some AK 47's cut? I have heard some people suggest that it's so the rifle doesn't climb as much when it is fired in full auto however I'm fairly certian it's so rifled grenades can be fired from it.
Can someone clairify? (Perhaps with a technical reference?)
As well, I can't help but think cutting the barrel will actually cause rounds fired from the AK to be less accurate since the bullet exiting the barrel isn't doing so from a uniform surface.
