AKM
The AKM is similar to the older milled design, but differs in that the receiver is constructed entirely of hardened, stamped steel. Note the "dimples" on the sides of the receiver just above the mag-well are much smaller. Also note the 3 rivets on either side of the front, connecting the stamped reciever to the front milled trunion, and the 2 rivets at the rear connecting it to the milled rear trunion.
Film
- Used by pretty much everyone in Red Dawn (Both Sides)
AKMS
Basically the same as the AKM, but the rear-trunion is altered with a swiveling mechanism to allow for the underfolding stock.
Film
- Used by most of the team at the end of Navy Seals
- Danny Trejo as Trejo in Heat
