Changes: AKS-74U

Revision as of 01:33, 10 February 2010

Template:WeaponInformationV2 The AKS-74U Carbine (the "U" suffix means "Ukorochennyj" in Russian = "Shortened" in English) has been developed in the late 1970s from the AKS-74 Assault Rifle. The AKS-74U was intended as a Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) for tanks, guns, helicopters and other vehicle crews, and for the special operations forces, who required a compact but relatively powerful individual automatic weapon. The AKS-74U has the size and effective range of a typical Sub-Machine Gun, but has advantage of the general issue, assault rifle ammunition and magazines, as well as the parts interchangeability with the general issue assault rifle, the AK-74. Since its introduction the AKS-74U, unofficially known as a "Ksyukha" (variation of a Russian woman name) or "okurok" (cigarette stub), also had been issued to various Police and other Law Enforcement forces acres the USSR and the Post-USSR countries, including Russia. This rifle is chambered in 5.45x39mm.
