The AEK-971 is a Russian prototype assault rifle chambered in 5.45x39mm designed by Sergey Koksharov in 1974. It entered into the Abakan rifle trials, losing out to the AN-94. The AEK-971 is based on previous AK rifles in internal design and layout, but is also equipped with an AO-38 type balanced automatic recoil system to reduce recoil and increase accuracy. Several variants of the AEK-971 were later produced: the AEK-972, chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, and the AEK-973, chambered in 7.62x39mm. The A-545 and A-762 are two modernized successor variants to the AEK-971 and AEK-973 respectively.

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