The AK-105 is a select-fire firearm chambered in 5.45×39mm, built by Kalashnikov in Russia. From its 314 mm (12.4 in) barrel, Hornady 5.45 x 39MM V-MAX® Hornady BLACK® (60 gr HP) leaves the muzzle at about 2718 fps (828 m/s), adjusted from the 415 mm test barrel the figure was measured in. Zeroed at 100 m, the bullet drops 149 mm by 200 m with 765 J (564 ft-lb) left. At the muzzle that is enough to defeat Drywall, Plate Glass, Pine Wood, Brick and Kevlar NIJ IIIA, and not enough for AR500 Steel. It feeds from a 30-round magazine.
Computed by the BallisticEngine engine for this barrel length, zeroed at 100 m, 15 °C, sea level, no wind.
