NOTE: This article is about AK-74s in the main ARMA games. For AK-74Ns in ArmA 3's Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany Creator DLC, see AK-74 (Global Mobilization). |
The AK-74 is a 5.45 mm assault rifle that has been featured in all of the ARMA games to date, beginning with ArmA: Cold War Assault and all the way to ARMA Reforger.
ArmA: Cold War Assault
« | The AK-74 assault rifle was manufactured in 1979 by Avtomat Kalashnikova, to replace the aging AK-47. The Kalashnikov sub-machineguns are well known for their reliability. The AK-74 was designed for army personnel and law and order forces. Weapon Description[1]
|

The AK-74 is used by both Soviet military forces and Nogovan Partisans in ArmA: Cold War Assault.
Overview
The AK-74 is a selective fire assault rifle that uses a long-stroke gas piston. It is chambered to fire the 5.45×39 mm cartridge.
It feeds exclusively from 30-round curved magazines[CWACfgW 8], and can attain a fire rate of up to 600 rounds per minute[CWACfgW 9][Formula 1] with a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s.[CWACfgW 10]
The AK-74 was the standard-issue service rifle of the Soviet Armed Forces at the height of the Cold War. Compared to its American-made counterpart, the M16A2, the AK-74 is virtually identical when it comes to both recoil and accuracy. Their 5.56 mm/5.45 mm cartridges are also identical in terms of stopping power and range.
Where they differ are their fire modes as the AK-74 can not only switch to a 3-round burst fire mode but can toggle a full auto fire mode as well.[CWACfgW 11] On the other hand, the M16A2 is restricted to just semi-auto and 3-round burst fire.[CWACfgW 12]
This limitation to the M16A2 means that the AK-74 will always be much deadlier in close quarters, since an M16A2 user won't be able to fire on full auto and will have a brief delay in-between bursts where they can't shoot back. In stark contrast, an AK-74 user can just keep firing until their magazine runs dry.

AK-74 GL
« | The AK-74 assault rifle was manufactured in 1979 by Avtomat Kalashnikova, to replace the aging AK-47. This version includes the BG 15 grenade launcher. Weapon Description[2]
|
» |

The AK-74 GL is a grenadier configuration of the AK-74 rifle that has been fitted with a 40 mm underbarrel grenade launcher.
There is no difference in terms of accuracy, recoil, and fire modes for the AK-74 GL's rifle component. Where it differs from the baseline AK-74 is the addition of its 40 mm GP-25 UGL which can load and fire either lethal high-explosive (HE) caseless grenade rounds or signal/illumination flare shells.[CWACfgW 21]
AK-74 SU
« | The version was developed from the AK-74, but radically differs from it in terms of the design of separate units and combat characteristics. The AK-74 SU features a short barrel, lesser muzzle velocity, high rate of fire, but more lower consistency of fire, compared to thet of AK-74. The AK-74 SU is intended for special subunits of airborne troops, combat engineers and drivers of combat vehicles. Weapon Description[3]
|
» |

The AK-74 SU is a carbine configuration of the AK-74 rifle. It features a shortened barrel and folding stock as opposed to the baseline AK-74's fixed stock.
For all intents and purposes, the AK-74 SU is completely identical to its parent rifle weapon in every way (aside from its appearance). It feeds from the same 30-rounder curved magazines and is also identical when it comes to accuracy, recoil, and available fire modes (semi, 3-round burst, full auto).
The only differences are its appearance and that it is only issued to Soviet Spetsnaz operatives. Given that its differences in appearance are purely cosmetic (the folding stock and shortened barrel do not affect the AK-74 SU's handling), choosing the AK-74 SU over the baseline AK-74 simply comes down to personal preference and nothing else.

ArmA: Armed Assault
« | The AK-74 is the successor to the famous AK-47, resizing its caliber to 5.45mm, probably as reaction to the ubiquitous 5.56mm NATO. The most visible modification is the muzzle brake. This muzzle brake drastically cuts the already mild recoil of the AK-74 but increases noise and muzzle flash. Library Description[6]
|
» |

The AK-74 is used primarily by the SLA and in limited numbers with Resistance guerillas in ArmA: Armed Assault.
Overview
The AK-74 returns in Armed Assault, this time serving as the service rifle of North Sahranian military forces and anti-Kingdom insurgent fighters.
It can load 30-round plastic magazines[A1CfgW 11], and can attain a fire rate of 600 RPM[A1CfgW 12][Formula 2] with a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s.[A1CfgM 2] It is unable to mount a suppressor and does not have any sub-variants with optical sights attached.
Just like in Cold War Assault, there is no real difference in stopping power between the 5.45 mm and the 5.56 mm cartridge. Where Armed Assault's AK-74 differs from its predecessor in Cold War Assault is that it is ~ 22% less accurate (0.00125 rad)[A1CfgW 1] compared to the American-made M16A2/M16A4 rifles (0.001 rad).[A1CfgW 13] The AK-74's muzzle velocity (900 m/s)[A1CfgM 2] is also lower than that of the M16's (930 m/s)[A1CfgM 3], resulting in a slight reduction to its effective firing range.
The AK-74 also doesn't have optical sights fitted, meaning that the user can only rely on its ironsights to aim with. Lastly, the AK-74's fire rate is lower (600 RPM)[Formula 2] compared to the M16's (~ 666 RPM)[A1CfgW 14][Formula 3], though it is still a slightly better weapon in close quarters since it retains access to both 3-round burst and full auto firemodes.[A1CfgW 15]
Variants
AK-74 + GP-25

The AK-74 + GP-25 is a grenadier configuration of the baseline AK-74 that has a GP-25 40 mm underbarrel grenade launcher attached.
The GP-25 can load and fire either 40 mm lethal HE grenade rounds or less-than-lethal (LTL) flare shells.[A1CfgW 26] The GP-25 has a quadrant sight that is zeroed for targets located at distances of up to 400 metres.[A1CfgW 27][A1CfgW 28]
It should be noted that due to the GP-25's addition, the AK-74 + GP-25 is slightly heavier to wield by up to 12.5%.[A1CfgW 25] However aside from this change, it remains statistically identical to the baseline AK-74 rifle in every other way.
AKS-74 PSO

The AKS-74 PSO is a quasi-"marksman" configuration of the baseline AK-74 rifle. It is exclusively wielded by marksmen units of the SLA's Especas SOF.
Unlike the standard AK-74, this variant is based on the AKS-74 model instead and features a side-folding metal stock. Adding onto this change in platform is the inclusion of a rail-mounted 4x telescopic sight.[A1CfgW 39][A1CfgW 40][Formula 4] Note that due to the inclusion of the PSO, the AKS-74 is slightly heavier to wield by up to ~ 6%, though the difference is negligible in practice.[A1CfgW 38]
AKS-74U
« | The AKS-74U is a personal defense weapon for vehicles and helicopter crews, and for the special operations forces, who require a compact and relatively powerful weapon in a single package. While the AKS-74U is the size a typical submachine gun, it has the advantage of using the standard assault rifle ammunition and magazines. Library Description[6]
|
» |

The AKS-74U is a carbine configuration of the AK-74 that features a shorter barrel.
Compared to Cold War Assault's AK-74 SU, Armed Assault's AKS-74U is an inferior successor since its shortened barrel does actually affect its accuracy this time around. This results in an almost ~ 33% increase in dispersion from the baseline rifle's 0.00125 rad[A1CfgW 1] to the AKS-74U's 0.00175 rad.[A1CfgW 41]
This drawback is slightly compensated by the AKS-74U being ~ 4.5% lighter to wield in comparison.[A1CfgW 50] Furthermore, in spite of its appearance suggesting otherwise, the AKS-74U's shortened barrel does not actually cause a reduction to the AKS-74U's muzzle velocity (900 m/s) since it still feeds from the baseline AK-74 rifle's 30-rounder plastic magazines.[A1CfgW 52] Although this won't offset the AKS-74U's reduced accuracy, it does mean that its effective firing range technically remains unchanged from the baseline AK-74 rifle.[note 1]
In addition, the AKS-74U has a suppressed sub-variant that is designated as the AKS-74UN. Unlike the stock AKS-74U, this variant has a sound/flash suppressor installed that makes it difficult for the enemy to see the operator firing the AKS-74UN at nighttime and under low-light conditions.[A1CfgW 53][A1CfgW 54]
However, it is important to note that the AKS-74UN still fires its ammunition at supersonic speeds unless the user manually loads specialised 30-round magazines that are specifically loaded with 5.45 mm subsonic ammunition. Therefore, it will only function properly as a suppressed weapon if it isn't firing non-subsonic ammunition.

Trivia
- The AKS-74 PSO variant was not added until the release of Patch 1.04.[7]
- Before Patch 1.05, the AKS-74 PSO's scope was not zeroed correctly and would be wildly inaccurate against targets located beyond 300 metres. This was fixed by the patch so that the AKS-74 PSO now uses a fixed zeroing of 200 metres.[8]

ArmA 2
« | The AK-74 is the successor to the famous AK-47, resizing its caliber to 5.45mm, probably as reaction to the ubiquitous 5.56mm NATO. The most visible modification is the muzzle brake. This muzzle brake drastically cuts the already mild recoil of the AK-74 but increases noise and muzzle flash. |

The AK-74 is used by several BLUFOR, REDFOR and INDFOR factions in ArmA 2.
Overview
ArmA 2's iteration of the AK-74 remains mostly unchanged from its predecessor in Armed Assault, save that there are now many more derivatives of the AK-74 family available, and that the AK-74 can no longer toggle a 3-round burst fire mode.[A2CfgW 9]
It still feeds from 30-round plastic magazines[A2CfgW 10], and its fire rate/muzzle velocity remains unchanged at 600 RPM[A2CfgW 11][Formula 5] and 900 m/s[A2CfgM 2], respectively. The baseline AK-74 still cannot be suppressed and has no sub-variants fitted with optical sights.
From insurgents and partisan fighters in Chernarus to UN peacekeepers and armies/militia groups in Takistan, the AK-74 is one of the most ubiquitous firearms in ArmA 2. Several factions across BLUFOR, REDFOR and INDFOR utilise at least one or more derivatives of the rifle to some extent.
Statistically, very little has changed with ArmA 2's AK-74. It still has the same fire rate of 600 RPM[A2CfgW 11][Formula 5] and muzzle velocity of 900 m/s.[A2CfgM 2] Just like in Armed Assault, ArmA 2's AK-74 has ~ 22% increased dispersion (0.00125 rad) compared to both its modernised counterpart, the AK-107, as well as the American-made M16A4.[A2CfgW 1] The only major change is that ArmA 2's AK-74 no longer has the ability to toggle a 3-round burst fire mode and is restricted to either semi- or full auto.[A2CfgW 9][note 3]
Since ArmA 2's AK-74 lacks optical sights, its usefulness against targets located beyond 300 metres will be limited since the user can only rely on the rifle's (albeit freely adjustable up to 1,000 metres) ironsights to aim with.[A2CfgW 12] Unless the user is in close quarters, it is more optimal to swap out the AK-74 with one of the optical sight-fitted AKS-74 derivatives instead.
Variants
AK-74 GP-25
« | The AK-74 is the successor to the infamous AK-47, resizing its caliber to 5.45mm, probably in response to the ubiquity of the 5.56mm NATO round. This version features an additional GP-25 40mm grenade launcher. |
» |

The AK-74 GP-25 is a grenadier configuration of the AK-74 rifle. It is fitted with a 40 mm underbarrel grenade launcher, and has two sub-variants: one with only ironsights, and a second that has a Kobra collimator sight attached (AK-74 GP-25 Kobra).
Like in Armed Assault, the GP-25 can load and fire 40 mm lethal HE grenade rounds or LTL flare shells. However, ArmA 2's iteration of the GP-25 now has the ability to load a third type of grenade: non-lethal smoke grenades that can disperse a cloud of vision-obscuring smoke.[A2CfgW 21] Its quadrant sight is zeroed for targets located at distances of up to 400 metres away.[A2CfgW 22][A2CfgW 23]
Note that just like in Armed Assault, the GP-25-fitted AK-74 is slightly heavier to wield and has a 12.5% handling penalty.[A2CfgW 20] Additionally, only the non-Kobra AK-74 GP-25 allows the user to manually adjust the weapon's zeroing [A2CfgW 24] (the Kobra sub-variant uses a fixed zeroing of 100 metres instead[A2CfgW 25][A2CfgW 26]).
AKS-74
« | The AK-74 is the successor to the infamous AK-47, resizing its caliber to 5.45mm, probably in response to the ubiquity of the 5.56mm NATO round. This weapon features an adjustement with a ""night-fighting"" configuration. Armoury Description[10]
|
» |

The AKS-74 features a side-folding metal shoulder stock and receiver capable of mounting a variety of Dovetail optics.
Statistically, the AKS-74 is ~ 4.5% lighter to wield thanks to its folding stock[A2CfgW 34] but it significantly less accurate than the baseline AK-74 and has ~ 46% increased dispersion (0.00125 rad versus the AKS-74's 0.002 rad).[A2CfgW 27]
Where the AKS-74 drastically differs from the baseline AK-74 is the availability of attachments. In addition to the standard ironsights-only AKS-74, there are four unique sub-variants that are equipped with the following optical sights:
- Kobra collimator (AKS-74 Kobra)[A2CfgW 39]
- PSO-1 telescopic sight (AKS-74 PSO)[A2CfgW 40]
- GOSHAWK thermal scope (AKS-74 Goshawk)[A2CfgW 41]
- NSPU night vision sight (AKS-74 NSPU)[A2CfgW 42]
This diverse choice of optics makes ArmA 2's AKS-74 the most flexible variant in the AK-74 family (not even the modernised AK-107 has access to the same optics). The only drawbacks to the AKS-74 are that it still doesn't have a sub-variant that has a sound suppressor fitted, and that its poorer accuracy means that the user may need to fire more rounds than necessary against targets located beyond 400 metres.
AKS-74U
« | The AKS-74U is a personal defense weapon for vehicles and helicopter crews, and for the special operations forces, who require a compact and relatively powerful weapon in a single package. While the AKS-74U is the size a typical submachine gun, it has the advantage of using the standard assault rifle ammunition and magazines. |
» |

The AKS-74U is a a shortened version of the AKS-74 assault rifle.
The AKS-74U is statistically identical to the AKS-74 rifle in virtually every way aside from its appearance and the availability of attachments. Despite its barrel being shorter, ArmA 2's AKS-74U still has the same muzzle velocity of 900 m/s[A2CfgM 2][note 4] and its accuracy also remains unchanged at 0.002 rad[A2CfgW 43] (the same as the AKS-74[A2CfgW 27]).
Where the AKS-74U drastically differs from the AKS-74 rifle is that it has suppressed sub-variants in the form of the AKS-74UN and AKS-74UN Kobra, and that it does not retain access to the same variety of optics as the AKS-74 does (AKS-74Us are only available with non-magnified Kobra collimators). In the case of the former, the suppressor hides the AKS-74UN's muzzle flash, helping to conceal the shooter at nighttime or low-light conditions.[A2CfgW 51][A2CfgW 52]
It should be noted that unlike in Armed Assault, ArmA 2's AKS-74UNs do not have the ability to load the AK-74's standard-issue 30-rounder plastic magazines. Instead, the AKS-74UN is restricted to feeding from 30-rounder magazines that specifically fire subsonic 5.45 mm ammunition.[A2CfgW 53][A2CfgW 54] When loaded with these magazines, the AKS-74UN has a lower muzzle velocity of 320 m/s rather than 900 m/s on unsuppressed AKS-74Us.[A2CfgM 4]

Trivia
- Russian soldiers in ArmA 2 are unauthentically depicted with carrying the AK-107 as their service rifle instead of an improved AK-74 variant designated as the "AK-74M" (GRAU index code: 6P34). As of 2019, the AK-74M was still the standard-issue weapon of the Russian military.
- The latest Steam version updates (as part of ArmA 2's End-of-Life patches) have applied numerous fixes and gameplay changes to the AK-74:
- CorePatch added zeroing functionality to the baseline AK-74 rifle with no optics fitted (it was not possible to adjust zeroing even after Operation Arrowhead's release).[11]
- AKS-74s fitted with the GOSHAWK thermal sight had their model's memory points adjusted so that there is slightly less clipping in first person (addressed by CorePatch).[11]
- An ironsights-only configuration of the AKS-74UN with no Kobra sight was added (by CorePatch).[11]
- The sight picture of all AK-74s was adjusted to a more correct one (also by CorePatch).[11]
- Recoil was significantly reduced on all AK-74 variants (Community Configuration Project).[12]
- The AKS-74UN Kobra was not actually suppressed due to a misconfiguration, which meant that the user was still fully audible at normal range to AI-controlled units even when firing its subsonic ammunition (also fixed by the CCP).[12]

ArmA 3
« | The AKS-74U was created as an answer for the Soviet need for a fully automatic carbine. The gun is basically a shortened AK-74, which enabled significant production savings. Like the AK-74, this variant is also chambered in 5.45x39 mm, but its compact dimensions make it intended for special forces, vehicle crews, police patrols, etc. However, the lower muzzle velocity makes the AKS-74U effective up to only around 400 meters. Field Manual[13]
|
» |

The AKS-74U is used by several BLUFOR, REDFOR and INDFOR factions in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the Apex DLC.
Overview
The AK-74 returns in ArmA 3, albeit only in carbine form as the AKS-74U since the baseline AK-74/AKS-74 rifles are no longer available.
ArmA 3's AKS-74U still feeds from 30-round plastic magazines, but it can attain a fire rate of only ~ 705 RPM[A3CfgW 7][Formula 6] and has a lower muzzle velocity of just 735 m/s (~ 20% reduction from ArmA 2's AK-74).[A3CfgW 8] It does not have the ability to mount optics nor laser sights/flashlights and suppressors.
In all aspects, ArmA 3's AKS-74U is vastly inferior to every carbine in its class. For instance, the TRG-20 is not only 20% lighter (60 "mass"[A3CfgW 9] versus the AKS-74U's 80 "mass") but it also has a ~ 28% lower inertia penalty (0.3[A3CfgW 10] versus the AKS-74U's 0.4[A3CfgW 3]). On the other hand, the AKS-74U's accuracy is even worse than that of the Katiba Carbine despite the latter already having extremely high dispersion values (0.00145 rad[A3CfgW 11] versus the AKS-74U's 0.00203 rad[A3CfgW 5]).
As a result of all these drawbacks, the AKS-74U is by far one of the worst infantry weapons in ArmA 3. It rivals the 9 mm-chambered Protector SMG in terms of uselessness, with only its above average muzzle velocity[A3CfgW 8] and decent recoil (shared with the AKU-12)[A3CfgW 4] being mediocre highlights of the weapon. Even so, these positives do little to compensate for its overwhelming drawbacks that are further amplified by the dreadful performance of ArmA 3's 5.45 mm cartridge (poor penetration[A3CfgA 1], low stopping power[A3CfgA 2], extremely high air drag[A3CfgA 3]).
Ironsights

The AKS-74U's ironsights can be manually zeroed starting from a minimum of 100 metres up to a maximum of 600 metres (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600).[A3CfgW 12] By default, they are set to a zeroing of 200 metres.[A3CfgW 13]

The AKS-74U is capable of loading up to four types of magazines.[A3CfgW 14] All four magazines share the exact same weight of 8 "mass" units:[A3CfgM 4][A3CfgM 5]
5.45 mm 30Rnd Reload Tracer (Yellow) Mag

Standard 30-round plastic magazine loaded with a mix of 5.45 mm ball and yellow tracer ammunition (with a 26/4 split).[A3CfgM 6]
The last four rounds of the magazine will always emit visible yellow tracers.[A3CfgM 7]
5.45 mm 30Rnd Reload Tracer (Green) Mag

Alternate 30-rounder magazine loaded with a mix of 5.45 mm ball and green tracer ammunition (also with a loadout split of 26/4).[A3CfgM 8]
The last four rounds of the magazine will always emit visible green tracers.[A3CfgM 9]
5.45 mm 30Rnd Tracer (Yellow) Mag

Dedicated tracer magazine loaded exclusively with yellow tracers.[A3CfgM 10]
All thirty rounds of the magazine will emit visible yellow tracers.[A3CfgM 11][A3CfgM 12]
5.45 mm 30Rnd Tracer (Green) Mag

Trivia
- It is one of the few weapons in ArmA 3 that uses its real-world manufacturer name.
- Prior to the release of the Tac-Ops DLC, the AKS-74U was exclusively portrayed as a Syndikat-exclusive weapon. It was later changed with the release of the DLC's first scenario, Beyond Hope, which showed the weapon in use by Altian Government Loyalists (the predecessors of the modern-day FIA).[14]
- The Old Man mini-campaign/scenario also depicts Tanoan Gendarmerie officers wielding the AKS-74U, though only some tactical units utilise it in lieu of the Protector SMG.[15]
- The information below details unused, pre-release or removed content.
Apex AKS-74U configured to accept suppressors from the third party-developed Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany Creator DLC.
- However, the AKS-74U's model does have a muzzle slot proxy and it is actually configured to automatically support 5.45 mm suppressors from either third party-developed Creator DLCs and/or community-made custom addons.
- The only caveat is that said suppressor attachments must reference the correct pool of attachments (Classname: MuzzleSlot_545R)[16] or else they will not be available to Apex's AKS-74U even if the CDLCs/custom addons are activated.

ARMA Reforger
« | 5.45×39mm assault rifle. Weapon Description
|
» |

The AK-74 is used exclusively by Soviet military forces in ARMA Reforger.
Overview
- This section is a stub. You can help Armed Assault Wiki by expanding it.
In Reforger, the AK-74 rifle returns once more and is no longer restricted to just its carbine model (unlike in ArmA 3).
Reforger's AK-74 has a fire rate of 650 RPM[RfCmpW 5][RfCmpW 6] and a muzzle velocity of 890 m/s[Formula 8] (when loaded with 7N6 FMJ ammunition).[RfCmpW 7][RfCmpA 1] It can share its magazines with the RPK-74 light support weapon or alternately feed from the latter's unique 45-round curved magazines.[RfCmpW 8]
Just like in ArmA 3, the baseline AK-74 rifle still cannot be fitted with optical sights. However, unlike its predecessors in ArmA 2, Armed Assault, and Cold War Assault, the user can now freely choose to remove or mount the GP-25 grenade launcher onto the weapon's underbarrel slot (it is considered to be an attachment as opposed to a standalone weapon variant).[RfCmpW 9]
It is possible to remove the AK-74's flash hider (one is always attached by default), attach a 5.45 mm sound suppressor onto its muzzle[RfCmpW 10], and a bayonet can also be fixed onto the barrel, allowing for improved melee attacks.[RfCmpW 11]
The AK-74 has an unloaded weight of 3.07 kg[RfCmpW 3], occupies 2x1 inventory slots[RfCmpW 12], has a volume of 1,500 cm3[RfCmpW 13], and has object dimensions of 25x25x25 cm.[RfCmpW 14] If it is taken from an Arsenal Box crate, the AK-74 has a Supply cost of 10 units.[RfEnCat 1]

The AK-74N features a Dovetail side mount rail that supports various optical sights, specifically allowing the user to attach a 4x telescopic sight.[RfCmpW 18] However, due to the rail mount's addition, the AK-74N has a higher Supply cost of 25 units instead (an increase of ~ 85%).[RfEnCat 2]
In all other aspects, the AK-74N remains both statistically and functionally identical to its parent (non-N) rifle model. It still retains an unloaded weight of 3.07 kg[RfCmpW 17], occupies 2x1 inventory slots[RfCmpW 19], has a volume of 1,500 cm3[RfCmpW 20], and has object dimensions of 25x25x25 cm.[RfCmpW 21]
AKS-74U
« | 5.45×39mm carbine. Weapon Description
|
» |

The AKS-74U is a carbine configuration of the AK-74. Its smaller size, metal skeleton stock, and shorter barrel lends to a compact profile, making it easier to wield in close quarters compared to its parent rifle, and able to fit within the confines of medium-sized backpacks like the Kolobok.[RfCmpW 25] These changes also result in a lighter weapon (when unloaded); from 3.07 kg down to 2.48 kg, providing a weight reduction of ~ 21%.[RfCmpW 24]
However, its carbine configuration does come at a cost as its shortened barrel reduces the weapon's muzzle velocity.[RfCmpW 26] The AKS-74U's muzzle velocity has been reduced to 743.15 m/s when loaded with 7N6 FMJ ammunition (a reduction of ~ 17%).[Formula 9]
Its accuracy has also been affected as its dispersion range is shortened to just 200 metres[RfCmpW 23] (dispersion diameter remains unchanged at ⌀0.4 m).[RfCmpW 22] Lastly, even though the muzzle can be fitted with a suppressor[RfCmpW 27], it is no longer possible to mount a bayonet onto the AKS-74U since its barrel isn't sufficiently long enough to support one.[RfCmpW 28]
The AKS-74U has an unloaded weight of 2.48 kg[RfCmpW 24], occupies 2x1 inventory slots[RfCmpW 29], has a volume of 1,200 cm3[RfCmpW 30], and an object dimension of 20x20x20 cm.[RfCmpW 25] The AKS-74U has a Supply cost of 10 units.[RfEnCat 3]
AKS-74UN
« | 5.45×39mm carbine with rail system for mounting optics. Weapon Description
|
» |

The AKS-74UN has a Dovetail mount installed onto the left side of the receiver, allowing the user to attach a 4x telescopic sight.[RfCmpW 34] Just like the AK-74N, the AKS-74UN is more expensive to requisition and has a higher Supply cost of 25 units due to the rail mount's inclusion.[RfEnCat 4]
However, other than the rail mount's addition and its increased Supply cost, the AKS-74UN is statistically and functionally unchanged from the baseline AKS-74U carbine. It still has a weight of 2.48 kg (when unloaded)[RfCmpW 33], occupies 2x1 inventory slots[RfCmpW 35], has a volume of 1,200 cm3[RfCmpW 36], and has object dimensions of 20x20x20 cm.[RfCmpW 37]
Ironsights

It should be noted that the AK-74 always defaults to a battle sight zeroing of 440 metres.[RfCmpW 49] In order to adjust the AK-74's zeroing to a setting other than 440 metres, it will be necessary to "reset" it back to 100 metres first before the 440 metre setting can be breached.

It should be noted that the AK-74N always defaults to a battle sight zeroing of 440 metres.[RfCmpW 61] In order to adjust the AK-74N's zeroing to a setting other than 440 metres, it will be necessary to "reset" it back to 100 metres first before the 440 metre setting can be breached.

Trivia
- Prior to Update 0.9.7, the AK-74 was also shared with the FIA. The patch subsequently removed the AK-74 from the FIA's pool of weapons and replaced it with the (then-new) Sa 58 family of rifles.[18]
- The update also refactored Reforger's weighting system and now properly accounts for each individual round inside the AK-74's magazines.[18]
- Before its inclusion in Update 1.1[19], the AK-74N variant was teased in an official social media post on February 13th, 2024.[20]
- After the release of Update 1.1, the AK-74's model (as well as its magazines) from the Early Access period was replaced with a new one as part of the content in the Resistance Ops patch.[19]
- The patch also added the (then-new) AK-74N sub-variant and replaced the GP-25's model with a new one as well.[19]
- The AKS-74U and AKS-74UN variants were added after Update 1.2's release.[21]
- From Reforger's Early Access and all the way to Update 1.2, the AK-74's magazines (barring RPK-74 magazines) were free to obtain and did not impose a Supply cost on the user. This was refactored after Update 1.3's balance changes, which gave all of the AK-74's magazines a Supply cost of 2 while also tripling the cost of the RPK-74's magazines (from 1 to 3 units).[22][23]

Notes
- ↑ In all games prior to ArmA 3, the muzzle velocity of a weapon is determined by the loaded magazine's initSpeed value as opposed to the weapon itself. Because Armed Assault's AKS-74U (and the AKS-74UN) feed from the AK-74's standard-issue 30-round plastic magazines, they inherit the same muzzle velocity of 900 m/s in spite of their carbine configurations (which would logically reduce their muzzle velocities as opposed to them not being affected).
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 Damage will be reduced if the projectile's velocity drops below this value.
- ↑ ArmA 2's AK-74 technically has the ability to toggle a 3-round burst fire mode. However, this fire mode normally cannot be "used" by human players as it is deliberately available to only the AI (who will only switch to burst depending on the target's distance).
- ↑ In all games prior to ArmA 3, the muzzle velocity of a weapon is determined by the loaded magazine's initSpeed value as opposed to the initSpeed value on the weapon itself. Because ArmA 2's AKS-74U feeds from the same 30-round 5.45 mm magazines as the AK-74/AKS-74 assault rifles, it inherits their muzzle velocities of 900 m/s even though it has a shorter barrel (which should logically be affecting its muzzle velocity in a negative manner).
- ↑ 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 No magazine loaded, flash hider removed, and no +1 round in the chamber.
- ↑ 6.0 6.1 No magazine loaded, flash hider removed, GP-25 grenade launcher attached, no 40 mm grenade loaded into GP-25, no +1 round in the chamber.
- ↑ 7.0 7.1 7.2 7.3 Full 30-round AK-74 magazine loaded (7N6/7T3 mixed), no flash hider attached, no +1 round in the chamber.

- ↑ 12.0 12.1 Base damage value only. This value can be reduced if the target is wearing personal protection that lowers damage from melee attacks.
- ↑ 13.0 13.1 This value only applies to the ammunition's base muzzle velocity value. The weapon itself applies a coefficient to the ammunition's muzzle velocity value, which determines the actual muzzle velocity of the ammunition when it is fired.
- ↑ 14.0 14.1 The bullet projectile's muzzle velocity at the time of leaving the barrel can randomly have this amount of velocity added or reduced. This is randomised and will not consistently be the same each time a round is fired.
- ↑ This multiplier increases the dispersion diameter, making the bullet projectile less accurate at long distances.
