I am a professional,
I always aim true when firing semi or fully automatic
I know neither fatigue or failure
I would take pride in my work if but for one thing
I do not know my target
I am not the one that kills, that designation belongs to the man that pulls my trigger
I am an assault rifle, my name is Kalashnikov

• AK-46 - 7.62x39 - Prototype rifle designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov chambered in 7.62x39mm. It was designed in 1946, and laid the groundwork for Kalashnikov's later modifications to the series. Rifles featured a hinged trigger group much like a FAL or HK roller gun. The second generation rifle featured a few upgrades and had an underfolding stock. The rifle went through several generations before a final working rifle came to be.
• AK-46 First Generation - The first working copy of the rifle. Still in very early stages but laid the groundwork for what would become the most popular rifle in existence. It has been estimated that 100 million AKs have been manufactured throughout the world since the rifles development.
• Second Generation - The second generation rifle made changes such as enclosing the bolt more to keep dust a debris out, changes to the stock and furniture.
• Undefolder - The underfolding version of the second generation with a stock heavily influenced by the MP40.
• Field Stripped - The early prototype rifles field stripped. You can see the early rifles and how it had a lower for the trigger mechanism, two piece bolt carrier, and different recoil assembly.

• First Generation - As the models progresses more changes were including moving the charging handle from the left to the right side of the receiver, a front sight which more resembles what we are used to see, and one of the bigger changes, a one pieced receiver.
• First Generation Stripped - You can see the major changes to the receiver, the now one piece bolt carrier, right hand charging, and a recoil assembly more resembling what we are used to see in a AK pattern rifle.
• Second Generation - Featuring a major change in the furniture and the way its attached to the rifle and not having the 3 vent holes the earlier prototypes were lacking. A larger muzzle device was added and as a result the bayonet lug was located in front of the device. In addition to that slight changes to the gas block was made.
• Third Generation - The third generation rifle is a simplified version of the previous generations. The large muzzle brake was removed with one built into the front sight post. One of the issues with this setup was excessive concussion reported by soldiers trialing the rifles.
• Third Generation (Underfolder) - An underfolder version of the third generation rifle was developed.
• Third Generation (Underfolder Gen 2) - A second generation underfolder was designed and the major changes was the removal of the integrated muzzle brake/front sight. The muzzle device was cut off because of previous issues found with the setup. The muzzle sat flush with the front sight.
• Fourth Generation - (1948) With the removal of the integrated muzzle device there needed to be a way to attach muzzle devices, so the barrel was threaded, and change was made to the charging handle from the hollow tube, to the handle the rifle is known for having. The reason for this was rust was forming inside the tube and soldiers were unable to clean them out. This is the final revision of the 'AK-47'. It went into Soviet military service in 1949 as the 'AK-48'.
• Fourth Generation (Underfolder) - A folding stock version of the 'AK-48'.

AK-47

• Type 1 A/B - 7.62x39 - In early 1948 Mikhail Kalashnikov produced 4 pre production rifles which went to trials and by the end of 1949 they made 80k rifles. The 4 pre production rifles claimed to have fired 13,000 rounds each without major issues and only had to stop because reportedly they ran out of ammo at the factory. The early rifles suffered from many quality control issues, one being the receivers warped from the heat during sustained firing. These rifles were also missing the center support which did not help with the issues. This would later be added to the AKM. In 1949 they switched to the Type 2, which was a milled receiver because of the quality control issues. Through 1951 they produced both the Type 1 and Type 2. The Type 1s had a reinforcement rib running along the top of the receiver. The rivets on the rear of the river, and internal rails were ground flat, and the selector was revieted in place meaning it could not be removed. The gas pistons were fluted as a way to save weight. The barrels were threaded into the front trunnion and held in place with a barrel pin. Later rifles would have the barrel pressed in as a way to simplify the manufacturing process. The front trunnions on the Type 1 extended back and wrapped around the magwell. With the front trunnion extending back so far the ejector was integrated into it. This would later change in the AKM. One of the more defining features of the Type 1 beside the front trunnion is the shape and angle of the pistol grip. The grip is angled farther back then on later revisions of the rifles and the grip panels are sandwiched around a tab which is riveted to the receiver. The rifles weighed in at 9.6 lbs. The rifles came in a fixed and underfolding configuration.

• Type 2 A/B - 7.62x39 - The rifle was designed by Valeriy Kharkov a lead engineer working with the Kalashnikov team and was in production from 1951-1957 and the Type 3 began production in 1955. The receivers weighted close to 1.4 lbs and had over 100 milling operations to them. The Type 2 features a socket for the butt stock so the same receiver could be used for fixed and underfolding stock rifles. This was unique to the Type 2 rifles and one easy way to point them out. One would have to cut the appropriate holes in the receiver to install the folding stock. The front of the receiver has a reinforced area to strengthen the front of the receiver. The rear and left side has a 'shelf' for the dust cover to rest on. The type 3 has those two reinforcements removed. The grip was changed to the more standard grip we are used to see on the AKM and AK-74 family of rifles where it is held in place by a long screw threading into a lug in the receiver. The safety is extended through the receiver found on modern AKs. This allows the safety to be removed. The gas piston is remains fluted and the rifles weights 10.5 lbs.

• Type 3 A/B - 7.62x39 - "Final" version of the AK milled receiver made from steel bar stock. It went into production between 1953 and 1954. The most ubiquitous example of the milled receiver AK. The milled lightening cut on the sides is slanted to the barrel axis. The AKS-47 is the underfolding variant of the Type 3, which was adopted in 1950, which featured a stock influenced by the German MP40. One small detail between the Type 2 and Type 3 is the Type 2 has a lighting cut parallel to the top of the receiver while the type 3 has the lighting cut parallel to the bottom of the receiver.
• Type 4 A/B (AKM) - 7.62x39 - AKM receiver stamped from a smooth 1.0 mm (0.04 in) sheet of steel supported extensively by pins and rivets. It went into production in 1959. Overall, the most-used design in the construction of the AK-series rifles.

AK-74

• AK-74 Experimental - 5.45x39 - When Russia was looking for a replacement for the AKM in the early 70s it was between the more traditional AKM platform or a recoil counter balanced system. The (rifle now known as the AK-74) was up against the SA-006 which was designed by Konstantinov, while the former was designed by Kalashnikov.

• AK-74MB - 5.45x39 - The rifle is capable of being converted from a standard rifle to a bullpup by just folding the stock. The rifle features an additional trigger located in the side folding stock, and an additional trigger guard is located in the front of the magwell with the addition of a folding diopter sighting system when in bullpup mode. When the operator folds the stock the secondary trigger is moved into the forward trigger guard while the rear part of the stock trigger is placed inside the rear trigger. Pulling the front trigger pushes on the transfer bar trigger in the stock, pulling the rear trigger which is the 'live' trigger. A conversion kit for the 103 and 105 was also mode.

The rifle was never mass produced but as off 1993 several hundred rifles were produced. This rifle is sometimes also referred to as the OC-11.

Groza (OTs-14)

• OTs-14 - 7.62x39/9x39 - The project started in December 1992 designed by Valery Telesh and Yuri Telesh who also designed the GP-35 and GP-30 grenade launchers. The idea was to design a rifle made for close combat based on the AK-74U. Prototypes were ready for testing in less then a year and production started in early 1994. The rifle is an exact of the AKS-74U only in a bullpup config and chambered in 9x39 SP6 subsonic ammo.
• OTs-14-1A - 7.62x39 - Chambered in the 7.62x39 (M43), it uses the same magazines as the AK-47/AKM family of rifles.

AK-9

• AK-9 - 9x39 - In 2006 Russian authorities wanted the Izhmash factory to design a Kalashnikov rifle for special operations. Alexei Dragunov, one of the designers of the AK-9, says "It shoots virtually without a sound and it can go through a bullet-proof vest". The AK-9 is based on the 100 series of rifles with several improvements. The rifle features a 7.9 in (200mm) barrel. Reportedly only several hundred units were products.

• AKB - 5.45x39 - Designed by Victor Kalashnikov, the AKB was used to replace the AL-9 which was pulled out of the Abakan tests for unknown reasons. It was one of the series of rifles in the second stage of testings that did not fully meet the requirements so the designers still in the competition were given three months to modify their designs and resubmit for testings. To meet the requirements the BARS system was added and became the AKB-1. Even with the added changes the AKB-1 was not successful and was eliminated from the trials.
  • AKB-1 - 5.45x39 - The upgrade AKB with the BARS system.

Vepr 12

• Vepr 12 - 12 Gauge - Early Vepr 12s were produced by Izhmash with production moving to the Molot factory where it was redesigned for mass production. It went in mass production in 2003. Like all rifles that have the Vepr name it features a RPK style 1.5mm receiver and larger front trunnion. The rifle is chrome lined throughout, including the gas block, barrel, chamber which gives superior protection against corrosion. The magazines also go straight in like an AR-15 vs the rock in system that is required to do on standard AK style rifles and the Saiga 12. The Vepr 12 can use the same mags as the Saiga 12 but they require modification, the reverse is not true.

RPK

• RPK - 7.62x39 - Design for the RPK started in 1960 by Mikhail Kalashnikov, where it was set to replace the RPD. The rifle is essentially a AKM with a 1.5mm thick receiver, vs 1. A larger front trunnion, a longer heavier barrel at 23.2in (590mm) and a different stock. It fed from standard AK47/AKM magazines but also use a 75 or 100 round drum which was designed for it. Functionally the RPK is identical to the AKM.
  • RPKS - 7.62x39 - Same as the standard model only with a wooded left folding stock
• RPK-201 - 5.56x45 - A variant designed for export. which uses the standard RPK-74M furniture.

• RPK-74 - 5.45x39 - The RPK-74 was introduced in 1974 along with the AK-74. It can feed from 30 or 45 round mags, like the 7.62x39 version. During development of the rifle drums were tested but were later dropped in favor of the larger capacity mags.
  • RPKS-74 - 5.45x39 - The paratrooper variant of the RPK-74 with a wooden folding stock
  • RPK-74M - 7.62x39 - In the 1970s the rifle was updated with polymer furniture, the stock was shaped like the RPK-74. The later models featured a folded like the RPKS version. Updated mags manufactured by MOLOT with horizontal ribs on the side were also used.
• RPKN - 5.45x39 - Night vision version of the rifles. The RPKSN-1, RPK-74N, and RPKS-74N can mount the 1PN51 night scope, while the RPKN2, RPKSN2, RPK-74N2 and RPKS-74N2 can mount the 1PN58 night scope.
• RPK-16 - 5.45x39 - Is a version of the RPK that came out of the AK-12 program. It features a 1913 rail on the top of the receiver and bottom of the handguards, a folding butt stock and two different barrel lengths 21.7 in (550mm) and 14.6 in (370mm). Its designed to have interchangeable barrels to go from one role to another. It can feed from standard AK-74 mags or a 96 round drum designed for the rifle.

SVD

• SVD - 7.62x54r - In 1940 the Soviet Union wanted to replace the 91/30 Sniper rifle with something semi auto. In 1940 the SVT-40 was designed for that role. It was later found out the rifle had serious accuracy issues as the barrel heated up. It was drastic enough the rifle would drift from the first shot fired from the mag to the last. The SVT-40 was continued to be used, but only early rifles have the optics rails. After WWII the 91/30 was reissued. Development for the SVD started in 1958 by Yevgeny Dragunov after the Soviet Union was looking to replace their 91/30 sniper rifles. The SVD was not designed as a sniper rifle but as another tool to be used in the field and has an operating efficiency between 600-800 meters. The rifles weighs in at 10 lbs (4.5kgs) and was capable of 1.5-2 MOA, which is quite good for a semi auto rifle designed in the late 1950s. It features a PSO-1 4x-24 optic, but the rail system allowed for other types to be mounted. To aid in the accuracy of the rifles it featured a bolt with 3 locking lugs on it vs the 2 which were found on the AK family of rifles. This made lockup of the bolt stronger and more consistent. The dust cover has the recoil assembly integrated into the dust covers which was very similar to the SVT-40. The FCG comes out as a complete unit, pivoting out the bottom of the receiver. The rifles are a short stroke system, whereas the AK family of rifles is a long stroke system and has a barrel length of 24.4 inches. The SVD featured an out of battery disconnect in the fire control group. The lever which prevented the trigger from releasing the hammer. The lever would later be removed from the commercial TIGER rifles when they were imported as the ATF viewed them as a machine gun lever, as many machine guns operate this way. The SVD had no full auto capability despite having the redundant out of battery disconnect. To reduce mass in the bolt there were two lightening holes bored on either sides of the bolt, this was later changed and solidified in the TIGER. The SVD features a free floating firing pin. Despite the changes between SVD and TIGER bolt carriers they are interchangeable between the two rifles.
  • SVDK - 9.3×64mm 7N33 - The SVDK was adopted by the Russian army in 2006 and is an updated version of the standard SVD. The idea behind the rifle was to give units more options when dealing with targets in heavy body armor or enemy snipers behind cover.
  • TIGER - 7.62x54r - The TIGER is the commercial variant of the SVD marksman rifle. They had a few minor changes between the system. They are both a short stroke system chambered in 7.62x54r, both rifles feature a milled receiver and are functional the same. The key differences are the non adjustable gas system, the lack of lighting cut found on the side of the receiver, the spring loaded firing pin and changes to the bolt and fire control group. The bolt lighting cuts were simplified and the side of the bolt was milled off vs having two lighting holes bored down the sides. The out of battery trip lever was later removed from TIGERs as the ATF viewed it as a machine gun lever, despite the SVD and TIGER having no machine gun capabilities. The TIGER features a 20 in barrel.

Molot

• Molot Vepr - Various - A series of semi auto and shotgun based RPKs were manufactured by the Molot factory in Vyatskiye Polyany, Russia. They are offered in several chamberings, including: .223 Remington, .243, 7.62×39mm, 5.45×39mm, 6.5mm Grendel, 7.62×54mmR, .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield and Vepr shotguns in 12 gauge, 20 gauge, and .410 bore. These rifles were imported into the US in a sporting configuration with a thumbhole stock, or traditional rifle stock, no bayonet lug, and could not accept standard AK mags but could be converted to resemble a military rifle once in the states. Early rifles had a slant back receiver that was later changed to a traditional layout. They also have a 9mm rifle based on the Vityaz which feeds from Glock mags.

• VPO-136 - 7.62x39 - These rifles are made from parts kit, converted rifles, or new manufactured rifles.
• Vepr 1V - 5.45x39 - A version of the RPK-74M manufactured by MOLOT.
• MA-9 - 9x19 - The rifle entered production in 2013 and comes in several variations. Wood or polymer furniture, and a AKM wooden stock or a AK-74S folding stock. The rifles are made from remanufactured from surplus Soviet AKM rifles where they are converted to semi auto and a caliber change. The rifle feeds from Glocks mags.

Saiga

The Saiga family of rifles were imported into the US in a sporting configuration. It had no pistol grip, the magwell only accepted 10 rounds, the gas block, front sight, and many other features were not correct for a military rifle. They are offered in several chamberings, including: .223 Remington, 7.62×39mm, 5.45×39mm, 6.5mm Grendel, 7.62×54mmR, .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield and Saiga shotguns in 12 gauge, 20 gauge, and .410 bore. The 5.56x45, 7.62x39, and 5.45x39 could be converted to resemble a military rifle if the correct parts were installed. While these rifles are sought after, they are not to be confused with a military rifle as they were designed from the ground up for sporting purposes.

Subguns

• Vityaz-SN - 9x19 - Closed bolt, blowback 9mm AK with a special receiver so the bolt doesn't over travel.
• PP-19 Bizon - 9x18 - Closed bolt, blowback AK which feeds from helical drums. Replaced by the Vityaz. Also available in 9×19, .380 ACP, and 7.62×25mm Tokarev. It featured an AK-74m style side folding stock, simple single rod side folding stock, or an over folding stock, depending on the generation. The drums changed from metal to polymer in the lifetime of the SMG as well.
  • KSO-1 - 9x18 - A version of the PP-19 with a shorter barrel and fed from stick mags.

Prototypes/Other Derivatives

• 80.002 - 5.45x39 - The 80.002 was a prototype rifle with a second barrel that fires a 12.7mm (.50 cal) grenade launcher. The weapon was developed by Yu.V. Minaev, V.I. Chelikin, and G.A. Yanov between 1975-1979 at TsNIITochMash plant. The receiver is twice as thick as the AK-74 receiver (2mm vs 1mm). The rifle was never accepted for service.

• Gepard - various - The Gepard is an experimental submachine gun based on the AKS-74U. Not much is known about the rifle. It is said to be able to fire the 9X17mm (.380ACP), 9X18mm (Mak), 9X19mm (Para), and 9X21mm (IMI) without swapping a single part, even using the same magazine. To allow the weapon to shoot the more powerful 9X30mm GROM caliber, the chamber is replaced. No special tools are needed for replacement and the whole operation takes about a minute. The Gepard was intended for use by Russian anti-terrorist services and SPETSNAZ troops. During testing, the Gepard pistol achieved very good penetration results of American and Russian class D IV vests.
  • Gepard Mini - various - A short barreled version of the standard Gepard.

• PP 1970 - 5.45x39 - A prototype AKS-74u style rifle with a unique pistol grip and an over folding stock. The rifle features a hinged top cover and rear sight placed on the dust cover.
  • PP 1973 - 5.45x39 - An updated version of the PP 1970 with a more traditional underfolding stock.
  • PP 1976 - 5.45x39 - A version of the PP 1973 only with a side folding wire stock.

• Experimental Balanced System - 7.62x39 - Designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov in 1964, the rifle was more of a proof of concept then a practical design. Above the barrel is a drum with two rotating parts inside connected to the bolt carrier. When the rifle would cycle the gasses would contact the rotating parts inside the drum and forced them in opposite directions where they would run into each other. This way they canceled the recoil impulse of the bolt carrier group by preventing the bolt carrier from running into the rear trunnion.

It was developed in the mid 2010s and was first revealed in 2015. It entered small-scale production in mid 2018.

South Africa

R Series

• R4 - 5.56x45 - In 1973 Israel adopted the Galil and with Israel being one of the few countries that were friendly with South Africa at the time, they decided to adopt the rifle themselves. So in 1975 the R4 was adopted. The first batch of rifles were manufactured by IMI while South Africa was setting up production for themselves. Manufacturing was setup by Lyttelton Engineering Works in Johannesburg. Tooling was setup in 1977 and the first rifles were adopted in 1979. The agreement between IMI and Lyttelton stated the rifles manufactured had to be direct copies of the Galil ARM. In 1979 that agreement had expired and Lyttelton was then able to make changes to the rifles as the South African military saw fit. The R4 front sight hood was make larger thinner and the front sight post had a taper added to it for better sight acquisition. The front sight sling was made beefier, while a small change it was something they felt was necessary as the Galil was small. The gas tube had a flange added to prevent the handguard swivel from coming all the way undone, which would cause the handguards to fall off during operation. The way the rifle is setup, the handguard removal swivel sits under the gas tube. The handguards were replaced with a different style and shape, and the carry handle was removed. The Galil had a integrated scope mount in the receiver, which was replaced with a much simpler lighting cut, which is common on milled AK rifles. A recoil buffer was added internally into a pocket already found in the Galil receiver. A newer designed stock which is slightly longer then the Galil stock which had a plastic overmold on it. After 1994 the South African military was no longer segregated and as a result the white males, which were a descendant of the Dutch, were no longer the only users of the rifles so having an extra long stock did not make as much sense. Both stocks are kept in service and are issued to the individual soldier depending on which version best suited them. The Galil/R4 magazines held 35 rounds vs 30 which is found to be more standard in military rifles and in 1981 Lyttelton started working on a 35 round polymer magazine. The serial numbers were printed on the bottom of the barrels and the R4 all start with a 'K' prefix and rifles marked with an A1 suffix meant it has an improved firing pin. They went from a standard Galil, free floating firing pin, to one with a rubber sleeve at the end, to a spring loaded firing pin. The idea was to prevent the free floating firing pins from slam firing the weapons. The rubber sleeve was added to cushion it to prevent it from happening, but they found the rubber reacted with the oils in the rifles and make them very hard, which had the side effect of making the problems worse. The decision was to go to a spring loaded pin. The R4s had a barrel length of 18.1 in (460 mm).

• R5 - 5.56x45 - In 1984 the R5 was adopted and was a copy of the SAR. The barrels, gas tube, and piston were all made shorter and a different flash hider was installed to prevent a rifle grenade from being attached and the flange on the gas tube was made slightly longer. They do not have a bayonet lug or bipod, like the Galil/R4 does. The serial numbers have a 'C' prefix. In 1991 the rifles were issued to the South African Police, which replaced the folding stock FALs they were issued. The R5, like the Galil SAR have a barrel length of 13 in (332 mm).

• R6 - 5.56x45 - The rifles were originally designed for contract. It is not known who the contract was for or why the contract failed, but the rifles were sold on the civilian market after it was realized they were not going to be of use. The R6 rifles were offered to the same group of people the R5 was offered to but were declined. The R5 currently in use were sufficient and the only changes to the R6 over the R5 was a 2 in shorter barrel at 11 in (280 mm). The R6 have a 'L' prefix on the serial numbers.

LM Series

• LM4 - 5.56x45 - (Lyttelton Musgrave) Between 1983-1998 the rifles were sold on the civilian market. Lyttelton was prohibited from selling rifles on the civilian market, so they worked with Musgrave who acted as the middle man for Lyttelton to sell the rifles. These rifles are identical to the R4 rifle aside from it being semi automatic. 4 different versions of the LM4 were produced, all were identical aside from different receivers.
  • 1st. The receiver has Safe-Semi-Full selector markings, but only had 2 pins for the fire control group.
  • 2nd. The receiver has Safe-Semi selector markings and has a 3rd hole for an auto sear. The fire control group was changed and the sear was modified so it no longer made the rifles full auto capable.
  • 3rd. The receiver has Safe-Semi-Full selector markings and a 3rd hole for an auto sear. Like the 2nd version the sear/selector was modified so the rifle could no longer be fired in full auto.
  • 4th. The receiver has Safe-Semi-Full selector markings and a 3rd hole for an auto sear. This version uses a Galil style receiver with the integrated scope mount. The reason for the Galil style pattern is Lyttelton started manufacturing rifles in the mid 1990s for Israel to use with the IDF. In 1994 when the new government took over, they were no longer willing to manufacture for Israel and as the last batch of rifles were waiting for export the rifles were denied the ability to leave the country. The rifles were then converted and sold to the civilian market.

• LM5 - 5.56x45 - Manufactured between 1985-1998, the LM5 is a semi auto copy of the R5.
• LM6 - 5.56x45 - Manufactured between 1991-1998, all the LM6 rifles have military receivers. They are based on the R6.

Vektor CR-21

• Vektor CR-21 - 5.56x45 - 1991 the project started development by Lyttelton for Denel Land Systems. It is a R4 barrel and action stuffed inside a bullpup chassis. The chassis was designed for the estic looks and then it was designed to work with the R4 internally. The CR21 was presented to the army as an upgrade package as you wouldn't need a new rifle, just put the chassis on existing rifles with minor changes. The South African military turned down the proposal as it was not seen as a worthwhile upgrade. Denel then attempted to sell these rifles to the South African police forces who also passed on it. The police force just adopted the R5. Denel then attempted to find someone on the international market, but there were no takers. The CR21 is right side ejecting only and features a shield around the ejection port and has a cross bolt safety. The selector switch is on the butt stock and is ambidestrous. The charging handle was moved to the left side and is no reciprocating. A fiber bushing that sits around the barrel to prevent the heat of the barrel from melting the polymer chassis. It does not feature any kind of irons sights so its only sighting system is a fiber optic powered scope with a chevron style reticle. Early models have the optic built in but was later switched to a 1913 rail system when they tried to get international sales. There is a connecting rod that goes from the front trigger to the rear unmodified R4 trigger assembly abd the bolt has charging handle removed and a nub was added to the bolt for the new charging handle to push against. It uses a standard R4 style recoil assembly. Lyttelton manufactured 200 rifles, 40 were semi auto only and the other 160 were select fire and parts for another 200 where manufactured. In 2008 the rifle project were sold to Nobel Tech and the majority of the selector fire rifle were converted to semi auto to be sold on the South African Civilian market. They also completed the remaining 200 rifles Lyttelton started production on.
