AKS-74U

"' I swear, if I see another one calling it the AK-74U and saying it is their favourite Sub Machine Gun, I might make a casualty or two. But it won't be you, I guess? ' - The Range's Dealer"The Izmash AKS-74U, sometimes nicknamed the Krinkov, is a russian Carbine featured in Rodblogan Warfare.

In Real Life Developement
By the 1970s, not too long after the AK-74's adoption, the need for a really compact carbine was getting expressed after the Soviet Union noticed the CAR-15 family's appearance in the Vietnam War. A lot of people assume it was designed for special forces and all sorts of crazy stuff, but while there has been some models for them, the reality is completely different. Consider it as one of these carbines that are so compact and handy they got placed into the role of what we would understand as a Personal Defense Weapon, althought the AKS-74U is technically a carbine. It did served well as a PDW until the AK-105 took over, but keep in mind that it was designed for second-line troops.

In-game Developement
Like many soviet guns, the AKS-74U didn't really started to catch on until the early Alpha, with the Kazotsky Update. And like these guns, it got a long hiatus until the Beta.
