The Rk 62 (also 7.62 RK 62 and M62; ''Rynnäkkökivääri'' 62 or "assault rifle 62") is an assault rifle manufactured by Valmet and Sako. It is the standard issue infantry weapon of the Finnish Defence Forces. The Rk 62 was designed in 1962 and is based on the Polish licensed version of the Soviet AK-47 design. The Rk 62 uses the same 7.62×39mm cartridge as the AK-47. Between 1965 and 1994 350,000 M62 rifles were produced jointly by Valmet and Sako. It is the basis of the IMI Galil, an Israeli-made assault rifle with many similarities. The Rk 62 has a three-pronged flash suppressor, and a groove for a specially designed knife bayonet, which can be used alone as a combat knife. The Rk 95 Tp is a more modern, improved version of the Rk 62. One of the most distinctive features of the Valmet rifles, including the M62 and all subsequent variations, is the open-ended, three prong flash suppressor with a bayonet lug on its lower side. In addition to the flash suppression, the end can quickly cut barbed wire by pushing the muzzle onto a strand of wire and firing a round - noisy but effective.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Valmet Home )〕 In August 2015 the Finnish Defence Forces announced that they will gradually modernize existing RK 62 rifles. The old tubular butt and leather sling will be replaced with a telescopic stock and tactical sling. An option for mounting a top rail for telescopic sights and night vision devices will be added to all rifles; likewise the barrel will get an attachment point for tactical lights and lasers. The upgraded model will be known as RK 62M. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=6 August 2015 )〕 ==History== The development of a Finnish assault rifle began in the 1950s. Various foreign models were looked at, the Soviet AK-47 being the most important.〔http://www.puolustusvoimat.fi/portal/puolustusvoimat.fi/!ut/p/c5/vZHLkqJAEEW_ZT7ArgSUx1KheCiUAoU8NoY6goAF2DQIfP0Y0REzq3HVYd7liZsnIhMl6Jnq2OfZ8Suvq-MNRSgRDwYvyuYaOGW7cVZgbW3YS_aOU3kBhSiC-cEvxsaayskrJnci08oidvxwbAxEwwKZQp7ihvjQjqTMwccADmYcOAq31128NO4WKcpfz13JK5sBrzlw31wU8AYTY84ZO3UOlq8FCg0kwQjEl_2tJ31z-M8sAcUokf71DY7Izz7d8YanA2zmiP7gNV67xDe6Fm90Se9zqT_7rzVK8hP7eJzZB3zICieLCreQBXEu88CjsI8HorbWA1thj6-X6eTGkU5H1aqz_G53Q1HUJQ3q6ZRG_JDdu5WZdkLfX4pJiB_Ac8x1VK0l7rgpu_st0wTWpphpdCh2GUsoAF1lekzGwGzPw174MitVcmZtN8sXze1Q1yS8Dfi86k84gt9Fxcg9VY2u0q4xGRS90Z2yEoM03zqzRL4tzSz7HIuqGWN73C3XfngdNhPzBD2kRWqf2efRexRlZFIfS_v8UO2zQxSMF3e95Rf4iIhZswtqWN9gz5yiv7ks_wDCQu3H/dl3/d3/L2dBISEvZ0FBIS9nQSEh/?pcid=6700a380491477539beffb30a8ea04e8〕 The first version was called the Rk 60. It was produced in 1960 at the Valmet factory in Tourula and was internally almost a copy of the AK-47. It featured a metallic buttstock, a plastic handguard and pistol grip. The very first prototypes, closely modeled after Polish licence made AKs, had tinted birchwood stocks. After testing by the military, the Rk 60 was slightly modified and adopted as the 7.62 Rk 62. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rk 62」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
