Notes

Description: PHOTO IS OF AN AKM. ALL 7.62X39 MM KALASHNIKOV ASSAULT RIFLES ARE VERY DEPENDABLE WEAPONS. THEY PRODUCE A HIGH VOLUME OF FIRE AND ARE SIMPLE TO MAINTAIN AND PRODUCE. THE PRIMARY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AK-47 AND THE IMPROVED AKM IS THE RECEIVER. THE RECEIVER OF THE AK-47 IS FORGED AND MACHINED WHILE THE RECEIVER OF THE AKM IS STAMPED METAL FACILITATING EASIER AND LESS COSTLY MANUFACTURING. BOTH THE AK-47 AND THE AKM CAN MOUNT A 40-MM UNDER-BARREL GRENADE LAUNCHER. THE AK-47 AND AKM HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN MANY ARMIES BY THE NEWER AK-74. THE AK-74 IS BASICALLY AN AKM RE-CHAMBERED TO FIRE A 5.45X39 MM CARTRIDGE. THE 7.62X39 MM RPK LIGHT MACHINEGUN IS BASED ON THE AK/AKM DESIGN WHILE THE RPK-74 IS A LIGHT MACHINEGUN VERSION OF THE AK-74. BOTH ARE INFANTRY SQUAD LEVEL SUPPORT WEAPONS.
