PSR reviews the Wolfpack Armory WP47, a hybrid firearm that combines the ergonomics of an AR-15 with the punch of the 7.62x39mm cartridge. This mutant design uses an AR upper receiver but is built to accept standard AK-47 rock-and-lock magazines. He notes that while it lacks a last-round bolt hold open feature, it offers a lighter and more modular alternative for those who enjoy AK ballistics but prefer the familiar feel of an AR platform.
To spice things up, he installs an Alamo 15 forced-reset trigger (FRT), which essentially turns the range session into a very loud and expensive science experiment. He discovers that while the rifle is generally reliable with Magpul magazines, it becomes quite a handful when the cyclic rate increases. The host finds that shooting this setup is significantly more intense than a standard 5.56mm AR, comparing the experience to a sudden, aggressive shot of caffeine for your shoulder.
Before ending, a side-by-side comparison was made between the specialized WP47 lower and a standard AR lower using specialized 7.62x39 magazines. Surprisingly, the reload speeds are nearly identical, proving that with enough practice, rocking a magazine into place is just as efficient as pushing a button. Despite some minor mechanical hiccups and a gas block that gets hot enough to cook a small snack, the rifle is praised for its durability and its ability to turn a pile of ammunition into noise with impressive efficiency.
