The modernized assault rifle with a low calibre velocity of 5.45x39 mm, almost an equivalent to the M16A1E2. A replacemet to the AK47 because of low recoil and lighter weight. It does more damage than the 7.62x39 mm M1943 caliber.

A Russian assault rifle first produced in 1974, hence the name AK-74. Basically a refined AK-47 made to fire the 5.45x39mm, an obviouis nod to the NATO 5.56x45 round. Has one variant, the AK-74u.
The Russian military used the AK-74, I woulden't be surprised if they still have a few circulating around the army.

God's own anti-son-of-a-bitch machine. It shoots the 7.62x39mm round of the AK-47, but is technologically built around the 5.45x39mm AK-74. The weapon is substantially more accurate than the 47, being effective to around 500 yards. It has the muzzle break of the AK-74, reducing recoil, and a fire rate of 600R.P.M. As with all AK's, be careful where you get your ammunition and your gun from, because of the wide variety of quality between makers. It is best to get these weapons directly from the Izmash (or is it Izmesh) website to guarantee a quality manufactuter.
I'm waiting till I'm done with college, then I'm getting myself a Kalashnikov AK-103 and fuck anyone who thinks it's a shitty gun.

While not the first assualt rifle, arguably the best. Unlike the M-16, which requires constant cleaning, the AK-47 has few moving parts that do not get fouled easily.
