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. | 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).

Revision as of 10:23, 21 May 2022
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
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.
