East Germany's Nice .22 AK Trainer: KK-Mpi-69
This video showcases the KK-Mpi-69, a .22 rimfire training variant of the East German stamped AKM. It details the firearm's unique features, including a blowback bolt assembly, proprietary front trunnion, and standard AKM receiver and fire control group. The absence of a gas block and the short-range calibrated sights are highlighted. The video also mentions the use of standard AKM magazine bodies adapted for 15-round .22 rimfire magazines and notes that approximately 50,000 units were produced between 1970 and 1975. The filming was made possible by the Institut de Recherche Criminelle de la Gendarmerie Nationale (IRCGN).
