The Daewoo assault rifles are the standard issue rifles for the South Korean Military and Police forces. The K1/K1A short carbines were developed first, the full sized K2 assault rifle was developed later. The K1A was the upgraded version of the K1 carbine (developed as a submachine gun to replace the M3 Grease gun for the South Korean Military). The K1A is considered a submachine gun, despite the fact that it fires an intermediate cartridge (5.56mm Nato/.223) like the full sized assault rifle.

The K1A is the upgraded version of the K1 carbine (developed as a submachine gun to replace the [[M3 "Grease Gun"]] for the South Korean military). The K1A is considered a submachine gun by the South Korean military, despite the fact that it fires an intermediate cartridge (5.56x45mm NATO/.223 Remington) like the full sized assault rifle.


* K1/K1A Carbine - telescoping wire stock, short barrel, 1 in 12 rifle twist - 5.56mm
* '''K1/K1A Carbine''' - telescoping wire stock, short barrel, 1 in 12 rifle twist
* K2 Rifle - Folding full sized stock, 16" barrel, 1 in 7.3 rifle twist - 5.56mm
* '''K2 Rifle''' - Folding full sized stock, 16" barrel, 1 in 7.3 rifle twist


While some people regard the K1 as just a shorter version of the K2, they are somewhat different internally. The K1 (which came first) uses a gas impingement system like the AR15/M16 rifles. The K2 full sized rifle has a gas piston system, just like the AK47 rifles.  
While some people regard the K1 as just a shorter 'carbine' version of the K2, they are somewhat different internally. The K1 (which was made first) uses a gas impingement system like the [[M16 rifle series|AR15/M16]] rifles. The K2 full sized rifle has a gas piston system, just like the [[AK-47]] rifles. Most parts (including the firing pin) are not interchangeable except the bottom stock. Also, Daewoo S&T has recently released a K2 Carbine version along with K3 Para version along with the [[Daewoo K12|K12]], a 7.62x51mm machine gun to replace the [[M60 machine gun|M60]].
 
Unlike most people's misconception, the K1/K1A is NOT a carbine version of K2. First, the K1/K1A was made before the K2. And also, most parts (Including the firing pin) are not interchangeable except the bottom stock. And most of all, Daewoo S&T has recently released K2 Carbine version along with K3 Para version and K-12, 7.62X51mm machine gun to replace the M60.

The Daewoo assault rifles are the standard issue rifles for the South Korean military and police forces. The K1/K1A short carbines were developed first, the full sized K2 assault rifle was developed later. The K1A is the upgraded version of the K1 carbine (developed as a submachine gun to replace the M3 "Grease Gun" for the South Korean military). The K1A is considered a submachine gun by the South Korean military, despite the fact that it fires an intermediate cartridge (5.56x45mm NATO/.223 Remington) like the full sized assault rifle.

  • K1/K1A Carbine - telescoping wire stock, short barrel, 1 in 12 rifle twist
  • K2 Rifle - Folding full sized stock, 16" barrel, 1 in 7.3 rifle twist

While some people regard the K1 as just a shorter 'carbine' version of the K2, they are somewhat different internally. The K1 (which was made first) uses a gas impingement system like the AR15/M16 rifles. The K2 full sized rifle has a gas piston system, just like the AK-47 rifles. Most parts (including the firing pin) are not interchangeable except the bottom stock. Also, Daewoo S&T has recently released a K2 Carbine version along with K3 Para version along with the K12, a 7.62x51mm machine gun to replace the M60.

The Daewoo K1 / K2 and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
