Additional Comments: The AK-74 is an updated version of the AK-47, firing a bullet of smaller caliber. This rifle is much like the original AK-47 that preceded it but it uses an orange magazine to help distinguish between the two rifles. It should be noted that the Soviet 5.45mm ammo and the NATO 5.56 are NOT interchangeable.
