Basically, I'm looking for pictures of real life, real world guns- handmade or officially produced- that have features from both AK rifles made by Kalashnikov and AR rifles designed by Stoner, stuff that could include the more modern AK-pattern rifles Russia is producing with lots of AR controls and stuff like the CMMG Mutant that uses AK parts, as well as stuff designed and made in less professional settings.

Rifles I'm primarily looking for, but other weapons like DMRs, machine guns and the like, are fine as well.

If you can help me with this, I'd much appreciate it. Thank you for whatever assistance you can provide.

I was curious because I recently played it and I noticed just how big the ACs are even compared to normal people, let alone the environments they're in of megastructures and whatnot.

While I know all the weapons would be quite varied and unique, I know that on average, their solid-shot weapons would be anti-vehicle at a minimum and thus have a large bore for AP/HE rounds, but I was wondering what kind of calibers they would be shooting, and the reason why my question is so open ended is that I was wondering which weapons you know of would have an caliber or bore-size that could be estimated, if at all possible.

Would any of you guys know? Please and thank you for any information, and apologies if my question is lacking in further details.

I'm kind of curious how big the rounds they're launching are honestly, and I was wondering what kind of calibers they'd be shooting since a lot would be anti-vehicle grade, but I wanted to know HOW BIG they would be really.

I read somewhere that in a pinch and lacking either effective enough HE or HEAT, a concrete round (one that's typically used for ranging and/or training) fired from a cannon (either tank or artillery, I do not know), can severely damage if not destroy an enemy armored vehicle and/or fortification.

How common was this really, and did it work as I mentioned?

EDIT: By "concrete round" I don't mean "round for piercing/destroying concrete" I mean a "concrete round" as in "round made of or mostly filled with concrete."

I was wondering why tank rounds, despite having solid, one-projectile APFSDS and either canister or flechette rounds where thousands of them were in one round, didn't really have something in-between with like 5-10 smaller, thinner darts than the main anti-MBT one.

I know that captured weapons are kind of a status symbol for military organizations official or unofficial throughout history, and the current war is no different. For Ukraine, one "status symbol" weapon are AS Vals or VSS rifles since those are associated with fighting and eliminating high-ranking Russian SOF units.

But for Russia, are there any unique weapons that are considered status symbols among their soldiers? Especially since Ukraine has been given a LOT of popular and esoteric Western and Eastern European infantry equipment as aid since the war began?
