Sometimes the photographs come across very strange Kalashnikovs. For example, such an AKM with a very interesting compensator may catch the eye. From the outside it may even seem that it is broken. Is it really? Is this compensator an exception to the rule, and if not, what is it really for?
The strange compensator of the Modernized Kalashnikov assault rifle is not at all a factory defect or even a breakdown during operation. In fact, such an interesting element of the weapon design really exists and is widely used in the army. However, first it should be recalled that what is a compensator for?. In automatic weapons, it is necessary primarily in order to increase the accuracy of firing by reducing recoil. Without a compensator on the barrel, the machine will throw up much more.
Knowing this, the idea of cutting part of the expansion joint under the diagonal may seem very strange. Not really. This is because when a right-hander fires from an AK-74 (or any other similar weapon), due to the specific anatomy of the shooter, the barrel is taken not only up, but also towards the "working" hand. In this case - to the right. The classic compensator protects the weapon only from movement in the vertical plane. The beveled compensator improves the accuracy and accuracy of fire by reducing the movement of the barrel in the horizontal plane.

Due to the specific shape in the Soviet and Russian army, the compensator with a beveled part was nicknamed the "whistle". If you look closely, it will not be at all difficult to find a real sports whistle in it.
