@y.abe1: #vr#weapon#old#radius#clean The AK-74 is a 5.45×39mm Soviet assault rifle designed in 1974 by Mikhail Kalashnikov as a successor to the 7.62×39mm AKM.The AK-74 was fundamentally driven by the Soviet transition to small-caliber, high-velocity ammunition, heavily influenced by the combat performance of the American 5.56×45mm NATO round used in the M16 rifle during the Vietnam War.The introduction of the 5.45×39mm cartridge vastly improved the rifle's performance over older 7.62×39mm platforms (like the AK-47 and AKM).
