For what it's worth, I tend to have 1st line Soviet and Polish units armed with the AK-74 and Tantal (a well made clone) respectively.

Second and third line units are equipped with the AKM. PACT marauder units tend to carry a mix of both.

As a side note, NoCarrier recently pointed out that the Brits were having lots of trouble with the L85 and that no systematic attempt was made to mod/upgrade their stocks until '97, too late for the original T2K timeline. So, in all likelihood, most UK units in '00 would likely be equiped with the "old" 7.62mm L1A1 SLR and Sterling SMGs and/or possibly M-16s and AR-18s (the firing mechanism upon which the L85 was based).
