wow. Beyond the black magic of designing the rifle with the best barrel to overall length ratio ever and that incredible feeding and extraction with forward ejection, all the way back in the 60s... the firing mechanism itself is amazing. Instead of a connector bar that pretty much all bullpups use (and that results into one of the most common complains about bullpups, i.e. mushy trigger) he went with a sort of striker-fired approach... only reversed and actuating on a hammer-lever... Truly unique design.
That could be easily mitigated by either lengthening the barrel slightly, so the case fall on the barrel and to the side, or adding a profiled damp to force them to the side.
I’m trying to draw the system but it’s so confusing I wish the video was slower and they took more time so I could draw it better but hey, at least I understand how it works
I'm sure all of this stuff was declassified long ago, it's just that they don't let any random guy dis-assemble museum pieces, but Max is known enough for him to be allowed to do so I assume.
I remember back when picture of TKB-022PM was first surface on the internet, a lot of people immediately call it fake and "will never work", now we have this video to show them, thanks Max Popenker
I understand why, this is a very unconventional approach, Korobov was really thinking outside of the box with this design. Can you imagine this thing in 5.45mm or 5.56mm? I think this design could be adapted into a very competitive modern rifle.
When they first popped up on the internet, I knew they were real because they in a museum, but I still couldn't wrap my head around the mechanism on how it fed without the bolt exiting the rear of the stock..
@@thermionicemission6355 I think one of the main problem is the magazine placement. Even with bullpup rifles you can see there is some distance between the end of the stock and the magazine however with this gun the magazine is right at the end of the stock which means under normal circumstance there would be no space for the bolt to cycle the rounds. Obviously there is a solution for that(as shown in the video) however, we wouldn't know it.
I never doubted it could work. The Steyr ACR has a similar and unconventional layout and it still works. I really wasn't expecting the lack of a trigger bar, though; instead, it's a sliding hammer hitting a sort of "seesaw" striker. That's genius. You can take the OTs-14 and turn it into a conventional AK with a folding stock, or you could take a SIG 551 and make that into a bullpup. This design, by comparison, cannot be made in a conventional layout. This thing is built from the ground up to be a bullpup.
I think German Korobov deserved more acknowledgment for his incredible contributions . And by posting his work I think more people will give him more respect and admiration he deserves..
@@Kadencabs there are close to a dozens guns with a similar design that work why don't you think this one would work... Keltic RFB , FN 2000 , are two that come to mind immediately. Sure the barrel is very short but I think with an addition of a suppressor this would be a great gun in fact that muzzle looks like it was designed to have a quick detach muzzle device like a suppressor,. By the way Korobov is the one who designed the magazine for the AK-47, he gave kalashnik of his magazines and Kalashnikov modified the AK to accommodate them since the magazines that Kalashnikov was previously using were more prone to failure..
@@Kadencabs also if you look at the design the injection gate has a spring on it and I'm sure that would be enough to deflect the cases to the side enough so they would not be aligned with the projectile. Also Korobov designed several quick detached muscle devices including suppressors that or similar to the osprey suppressors that are offset. Similar to the original Maxim suppressor..
@@Kadencabs also wouldn't even work as a strong statement... I think saying I don't think it would work would be more appropriate.. but I would disagree with both statements regardless,, is it the most practical weapon, no,, it would be prone to more chances of failure, highly likely , is it the an original very interesting engineering design, absolutely. Did Korobov designe innovative weapons that were in many ways very advanced in their forethought and possible use.. absolutely.. like I said I think Korobov was one of the most interesting designers , he designed many other mechanisms that were very original in their design and approach.. I think he would have been a magnificent teacher that would teaches students to think outside the boundaries and not to limit themselves to standardization of design.
Closer to a Bofors 40mm., especially in function of the rammer, but totally adapted for a small arm, in the Bofors the massive cartridges were short-stroked forward and hit home via inertia, with intermediate cartridges in a firearm which could be fired from any position, it's not a good idea, gravity and other forces would affect it, so he made the rammer go all the way home! Genius design all-around.
I have always been perplexed by this magnificent bakelite enigma. This puts a lot of things into perspective and allows for many different things to possibly come of it
Учитывая длину ствола в соотношении с общей длиной данного автомата идея Коробова, вероятно, была в том, чтобы заключить максимальную убойность и точность оружия в минимальную длину оного. И это, чёрт возьми, получилось гениально! 👍👍👍
Of all the things I woke up to yesterday morning... I was not expecting this. In some ways I am not sure what I expected but now that I have seen it, Korobov's genius cannot be understated. Fantastic animation.
I've red about Korobov maybe dozen years ago, and still thinking this was a totally underestimated designer... maybe one of the first "bullpups" ever... THX Max for this awesome video!!!
Actually, he designed a bullpup during WW2, which competed against the AK, but lost due to a few issues, also bullpups weren't seen as a good idea then so even if he made a perfect one the Ak would have won either way, in my opinion.
Funny how the F2000 was always seen as "futuristic" when it clearly was inspired by the TKB, except it's much, much more simple. The 22PM may be the most advanced firearm for it's time period, rivalling designs by the likes of John Moses Browning.
Honestly the guys at FN probably hadn't even heard of the TKB, or any other prototype soviet bullpups given the whole Cold War making access to russian records pretty much non existent.
I would be surprised if anyone at FN, or anyone at all in Belgium, had even heard as much as a description of the TKB. The only chance for a Westerner to have seen this beauty in those times must have been if they were a spy embedded in Russian arms design. If FN knew about the TKB and how it worked, I think that the F2000 might have actually copied some of its more unconventional elements, maybe even the vertically traveling bolt.
@@volvagianintendo6465 The amazing thing about it is the mechnism, however unlike what we're told it was not designed by anyone over at H&K, the design was either bought or taken from an independent german inventor, because some people found a patent of it dating back to before H&K got their hands on it. Not that relevant but, imo an important note. Even if we are to assume it's dispersion in the hyperburst was low, the overheating of the chamber, the bulkiness and the really high recoil after each shot or burst are problems that I believe would have made it worse than one would think when first looking at it. The main one is overheating though, there's a reason the soviets dropped all research into caseless like a decade before any other military started talking about it and with such a chamber, the issues are multiplied. That's why the LMG version of H&K G-11 is a bit suspicious, but maybe it had some heat-spreading methods? I don't think there's any good pictures or info on it so not sure. Negatives aside, I think it's real interesting / impressive and superior in most ways to what was used at the time by most of europe but I'm not sure I can agree with the swaying later bullpups statement though, in what way do you mean this? It did influence many other caseless projects though and was perhaps the most "ready" caseless firearm at the time. I think it's mechanism could actually be downscaled today and be absolutely amazing for PDWs and such, ultra-compact, without the delayed recoil though as that increases the size and dispersion is less of a concern for your typical DPW use. Basically, I see the G-11 as something which was made worse than what it could have been, I think H&K perhaps even ruined the incredible design they got ahold of by not making multiple different power version fo the first, diversifying basically. The real killer (which is influenced by outdated military beliefs) is the above-intermediate cartridge power, had they worked with something with less recoil & less heat production, most of the negatives would be irrelevant. It's a cool piece of history though, and as much as I crapped on H&K, if someone else would have attempted it maybe the funding wouldn't even be there / they wouldn't bother, so other companies perhaps wouldn't have even done anything with the design.
I GENUINELY thought these were relics that simply did not work, this animation is incredible! Look at how that trigger pull works, that's great... eliminates sloppy trigger pulls wouldn't it?
This was a life saver, i've only had the Steyr ACR as a reference for such vertical bolt designs. Now with two of these it will certainly shine a lot of light.
Thank you so much I've been wondering how this was design since I was a kid this is my favorite designer and one if not the most interesting guns ever in my opinion.. Thank you so much for your time ,
Thank you for the work, Maxim and the rest of the team!! (I'm poliorcetes at Tony's autogun forum) BTW A lot of us would really appreciate a second animation in order to locate all the weak points... because I couldn't identify so much small pieces. Besides, this design is really closed against dirt and particles... I would assume that the problem is more related with difficulty to access to the chamber in case of any kind of malfunction
The main "problem" was it was way too ahead of it's time, really the only legitimate issue the army mentioned was that it was rear-heavy, the only other problem they had was worries of it not surviving storage, which now we know is not an issue, since polymer guns are the norm now, not to mention only a short while after these guns were designed USSR adopted mags made of the same material, so..
@@thermionicemission6355 The main problem was that it is too complex and had to many intricate parts to mass produce, and would’ve been a PITA to field strip. Way too much of expensive nightmare to get these into the hands of every Soviet soldier. Complex guns are never good for a nation’s main infantry force. Simple, cost effective, and rugged designs that get the job done (like the venerable AK) will always be superior. No military now or in the future will ever adopt such a complex design. Special forces are the only place it would find it’s niche, like how the AN-94 did to an extent. It’s an amazing feat of engineering, especially for its time. But it’s just too convoluted to be a viable standard rifle.
@@xthee_0nly_1x11it’s actually fairly simple, it’s just that the USSR was fairly conservative militarily and relied heavily on poorly trained conscripts which is why they also refused to adopt an earlier design by Korobov which was a delayed blowback competitor to the AKM which was better but refused on the basis that Soviet troops would need to be retrained on it (keep in mind it was also very similar to the AK ergonomically and economically it wouldn’t have required much if any new tooling aside from stamping which they were already swapping over to for the AKM). The only complex part of this gun is how it extracts spent cartridges, a simpler solution would just to do what the Kel-tec RBD does and just drop them down behind the mag. However this is the simplest bolt design for a gun as it’s a falling block, the gas system isn’t even there to move the bolt but to simply extract the rounds which a falling block is normally unable to do in a semi-auto configuration.
Impressive weapon, I am always intrigued by its mechanism, one of my favorites and with this video I like it more ....... as I would like to have it in my collection, Amazing.....thanks for the video....
A sliding breach block, what an ingenious way to maximize compactness. Also, the spring fired piston to actuate the hammer is pure magic, would make the trigger super crisp and nothing like your typical linked bullpup trigger found in every other bullpup design.
This thing is real neat. From what I can make out (I could be wrong)... It feeds like a PKM but in reverse (claw push ammo from mag into chamber and not pull out from links). Cases are extracted and ejected like F2000 and especially the RFB. And the locking action is a falling block, not different from an artillery piece or a Bofors 40mm gun. Soviet space magic indeed.
Это у F2000 гильзы выбрасываются как у ТКБ022! Надо быть точнее в высказываниях! Конструктор А2000 был ещё в сперме у своего папочки,когда ТКБ Коробова разрабатывался.
wow! I designed something similar but completely upside down with the block going up, traditional striker and switchable ejection to either side. this is a very elegant solution. the ejection can be simplified further with the use of completely controlled case handling and ejection to the right where a traditional rifle like the ar would. I am building this!
Wow! I was always wondering about the mechanism of one of my all time favorite rifles TKB-022PM.(the craziest bullpup design ever) There has always been so little information about this weapon and I can't believe that I'm seeing this right now! German Korobov = pure genius
0:44 - Can this thing extract the unfired round? It looks like the moving ramp of the ejection chute passes close to the case mouth through the space where the bullet was. What if there is an unfired bullet in the case?
I've always thought the Flatline assault rifle from Titanfall/Apex had its magzine placement too far back to have cycling mechanisms. Welp I stand goddamn corrected.
And what about Shevchenko's "Shkval"? Available photos of disassembly look like a shortened AK bolt group. What kind of firing mechanism is there? Standard AK pins for hammer and sears are visible on the receiver, but with shortened bolt how would a standard hammer reach the firing pin?
This is a great animation, but there's still two things I don't understand. How does that striker rod along the bottom of the rifle operate when the trigger is held down or doesn't latch into it? It seems like the trigger would get jammed if it was held down throughout the operating cycle. At 1:09 you can actually see the sear seemingly move on its own to release the striker repeatedly. Secondly, that small tube above where the empty cases are held is the piston/gas tube, right? how does the gas from the barrel actually enter that to push against the bolt, since the magazine for the casings is in between it and the barrel? Is there some channel for gas that I'm not seeing, or am I misinterpreting something?
First: it wouldn't. At least I don't think so. If the trigger is held down, it'll simply go back and forth since it has spring and locking mechanism has enough energy to push it back. Second: Cost me plenty of time, but I figured it out. Remember this axis right under the barrel with a spring(it's above the triggering mechanism)? There's a gas tube inside of it. I wasn't able to believe, but it's really so. Rewatch it carefully.
FINALLY there's a clear display of how this piece of soviet space magic works!
Cool words!

God, I’d pay a considerable sum for blueprints
Brilliant, thank you!
Korobov was definitely ahead of his time, but there has to be a way to simplify his design. A rifle that short would be a game changer for any war.
Может это и не самое практичное оружие, но инженерная мысль просто высшего полета!
Fantastic work.
Good on ya, Max
Несмотря на всю его сложность, я бы хотел обладать таким экземпляром!
Wow! I was always wondering about the mechanism of one of my all time favorite rifles TKB-022PM.(the craziest bullpup design ever)
There has always been so little information about this weapon and I can't believe that I'm seeing this right now!
German Korobov = pure genius
Beautiful 😍
This is amazing.
01:14 Подпружиненная шторка. Офигеть!
That's just fantastic
0:44 - Can this thing extract the unfired round? It looks like the moving ramp of the ejection chute passes close to the case mouth through the space where the bullet was. What if there is an unfired bullet in the case?
Also thank you so much for this, and the music is perfect for such a magical firearm for sure!
Эх, красота!
Korobov straight up invented the ejection system used on the RFB and F2000.
awesome animation
this it amazing sir 👍👍👍
I've always thought the Flatline assault rifle from Titanfall/Apex had its magzine placement too far back to have cycling mechanisms. Welp I stand goddamn corrected.
About exactly as weird as it looks. Thank you, Max.
Sick until a case falls into your line of fire
Any chances there will be a video of you and Ian discussing Korobov's weapons on the Forgotten Weapons channel?
well, I'd say that it's a possibility ;)
THANK YOU!!! I've always wondered.
Очень занимательная кинематика у Автомата Коробова.
So basically the FS2000 but Soviet! And made in the 1960s. Russia firearms were heads of its time.
Yeah. And this design literally asks for a mag on the top of the stock
no, actually they never where ahead of anyone. Korobov was an interesting dude however, unlike other boring russian/soviet copy-pasters.

And what about Shevchenko's "Shkval"? Available photos of disassembly look like a shortened AK bolt group. What kind of firing mechanism is there? Standard AK pins for hammer and sears are visible on the receiver, but with shortened bolt how would a standard hammer reach the firing pin?
Beautiful animation!
Шикардос)
that has a dope mechanism
Thank you for this.
So fucking good, thank you so much for the video
It definitely inspired the design of the Pulsar smg in Cyberpunk 2077, additionally the forward ejection reminds me of the Keltec RFB line.
This is one of those guns that are absolutely hideous but a blessing to exist
i always wondered how the flatline from apex/titanfall works being how the magazine is so far back. this would explain it
This is a great animation, but there's still two things I don't understand. How does that striker rod along the bottom of the rifle operate when the trigger is held down or doesn't latch into it? It seems like the trigger would get jammed if it was held down throughout the operating cycle. At 1:09 you can actually see the sear seemingly move on its own to release the striker repeatedly.
Secondly, that small tube above where the empty cases are held is the piston/gas tube, right? how does the gas from the barrel actually enter that to push against the bolt, since the magazine for the casings is in between it and the barrel? Is there some channel for gas that I'm not seeing, or am I misinterpreting something?
First: it wouldn't. At least I don't think so. If the trigger is held down, it'll simply go back and forth since it has spring and locking mechanism has enough energy to push it back.
Second: Cost me plenty of time, but I figured it out. Remember this axis right under the barrel with a spring(it's above the triggering mechanism)? There's a gas tube inside of it. I wasn't able to believe, but it's really so. Rewatch it carefully.
utterly baller.......
Is it just me, or does this seem not overly complicated?
Возродить бы нынче заново.
This is genius
such an interesting design!
Браво!
Truly genius
Could it be that you just watched the "Ak-Guy"? If yes, Servus!
Thats genius
I can picture Kel-Tec engineers taking notes while watching this video, ready to remake this monstrosity
