The '''AK-12''' is the latest entry in the legendary [[Kalashnikov]] series of rifles. It was developed to replace the [[AK-74M]] and the AK-100 series of rifles that was field tested in 2011. While praised by then Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, the Russian Defense Ministry chose not to adopt the AK-12 due to millions of [[AK-74]] rifles still in stockpile. However this changed in 2015, and in 2017 the AK-12 was being trialed for introduction into the Russian military, competing against the [[AEK-971|A-545]] with the intent of eventually phasing out the AK-74M. Finally, the AK-12 and the AK-15 mentioned below entered Russian service in 2018.

Initially, the AK-12 didn't have a designation for the different calibers (unlike the previous AKs, particularly the 100-series), but in 2016 the version chambered in 7.62x39mm received its own designation, '''AK-15''', while the standard AK-12 maintains the use of the 5.45x39mm cartridge. In the early prototype stages (until Jan 2012), the AK-12 was known as '''AK-200''' and it looked more like an [[AK-74M]]/[[AK-101|101]]/[[AK-103|103]] fitted with rails. Note that the "AK-200" name is now being used on a different AK series intended as an improvement over the 100-series, and that the SR-1 balanced-action sporting rifle based on the [[AK-107]] was also named "AK-15" during its development.

The original prototype AK-12 design is notable for having several major departures from the typical AK design, such as having an ambidexterous charging handle and a more AR-styled small selector switch (rather than the large AK lever). This design was iterated upon for a few times between 2011 and 2016, and was eventually replaced by the more conventional 2016 AK-12 design.

Latest revision as of 15:08, 17 December 2023

The AK-12 is the latest entry in the legendary Kalashnikov series of rifles. It was developed to replace the AK-74M and the AK-100 series of rifles that was field tested in 2011. While praised by then Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, the Russian Defense Ministry chose not to adopt the AK-12 due to millions of AK-74 rifles still in stockpile. However this changed in 2015, and in 2017 the AK-12 was being trialed for introduction into the Russian military, competing against the A-545 with the intent of eventually phasing out the AK-74M. Finally, the AK-12 and the AK-15 mentioned below entered Russian service in 2018.

During development, the AK-12 didn't have a designation for the different calibers, but this has changed. The standard AK-12 is chambered in 5.45x39mm, while the 7.62x39mm version received the AK-15 designation in 2016, and a 5.56x45mm version called the AK-19 was unveiled in 2020. In the early prototype stages (until Jan 2012), the AK-12 was known as AK-200 and it looked more like an AK-74M/101/103 fitted with rails. Note that the "AK-200" name is now being used on a different AK series intended as an improvement over the 100-series, and that the SR-1 balanced-action sporting rifle based on the AK-107 was also named "AK-15" during its development.

The AK-12 and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:

AK-12 prototype, later 2012 model - 5.45x39mm. This model is the one most commonly found in video games. The main differences compared to the earlier version are the ПР-1-3-АВ selector (as opposed to П-О-З-А), the left-side folding stock and the different pistol grip. Note the Zenitco RK-1 foregrip, 2IKS flashlight & Aimpoint CompM4 type red dot.

The original prototype AK-12 design is notable for having several major departures from the typical AK design, such as having an ambidexterous charging handle and a more AR-styled small selector switch (rather than the large AK lever). This design was iterated upon for a few times between 2011 and 2016, and was eventually replaced by the more conventional 2016 AK-12 design.

AK-12M1, 2023 model - 5.45x39mm. The main differences are the ambidextrous fire selector with no 2-round burst, the new rear sight, cheekplate, and AK-19 flash hider.

The 2016 AK-12 prototype model reverted many of the changes that were brought on by the original prototype AK-12 design, including the ambidextrous charging handle and the small selector switch. This AK-12 model would be the one officially adopted as the AK-12 in 2018, but continued to be modified every year.
