Please note that some movies and TV shows feature the Norinco Type 84, which is a Chinese AK variant that looks similar to the AK-74 but is chambered in 5.56x45mm. Do not confuse these with the genuine mil-spec AK-74.

Also note that the AK-74 and its update, the AK-74M, have been the standard-issue assault rifle for Russian armed forces since the 70s (although as of 2018 it is to be steadily phased out for the AK-12). All fictional depictions of 7.62x39 AK variants as standard-issue Russian military weapon, therefore, should be considered an anachronism until proven otherwise (for example, some special forces operators and front line soldiers have been known to arm themselves with available 7.62x39 AK rifles and light machine guns as a matter of personal choice).

The AK-74 and variants have been seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:

The AK-74M is the modernized version of the AK-74, and the current service rifle of the Russian Ground Forces. The AK-74M features a new side-folding polyamide stock, an improved muzzle device, and a smooth dust cover. All AK-74M rifles feature a side bracket for mounting optics.

In 2017, Kalashnikov Concern (formerly Izhmash) released a new upgrade/modernization kit for AK style rifles, known as Universal Upgrade Kit (Обвес, 'Obves,' Russian for 'body-kit'). The 'Obves' upgrade kits are officially designated as the KM-AK, which stands for 'komplekt modernizatsii - avtomata Kalshnikova' or 'upgrade kit - Kalashnikov assault rifle'. It is a drop-in kit which allows converting any stock AK-47/AKM or AK-74 rifle into a modern weapon, making it more adjustable and suitable for accessorizing. This kit consists of a number of new parts, including a new muzzle device, pistol grip (housing the cleaning kit) and safety selector lever. It also features a new handguard set which adds top and bottom permanently attached Picatinny rails and allows mounting rail sections on its either side.

AKS-74U - 5.45x39mm

The AKS-74U (also referred to as the "AKSU" or 'Krinkov') is a compact carbine based on the AK-74 design. Contrary to popular belief, the AKS-74U is not exactly a "chopped" or otherwise shortened AKS-74. This weapon was designed during a contest for a compact carbine (a type of weapon earlier neglected by the Soviet army and police forces) during the late 1970s. Furthermore, its original and primary purpose was to be a compact weapon that could be easily stowed within vehicles by their crews, and usable for personal defense by those same crews once on foot. Its use by Afghanistan-era airborne troops and later adoption as a standard-issue police weapon answered the need for a compact rifle-caliber weapon in the Soviet arsenal (the earlier and widely manufactured PPSh-41 submachine gun having been discontinued by the 1960s).

The AKS-74U is, in fact, a purpose-built weapon based on the AK-74 assault rifle. Its distinguishing features are its unique muzzle flash suppressor (designed to lower the considerable report and flash stemming from the short barrel, including an integral muzzle booster to increase the weapon's reliability), the short handguard, big-eared flip rear sight, lowered front sight, and pivoting upper receiver. AKS-74U clones, collectively named Krinkov (a name never used by Russians themselves) may differ visually in details like front sight and handguard length and shape, together with differences in construction. No converted AK-74 can be rightfully called an AKS-74U.

Despite common miscategorization, particularly in video games, it also is not, has never been, and will never be a submachine gun: since it fires an intermediate round, it is a compact assault rifle. This perception seems to come from the AKS-74U heavily influencing the NATO "Personal Defense Weapon" concept first published in 1989, which called for an armor-piercing SMG for a similar role and led to the development of the FN P90 and Heckler & Koch MP7.

The AKS-74UB ("B" is Russian for Бесшумный; Besshumniy, or "silent") is a suppressed variant of AKS-74U. In place of the standard AKS-74U muzzle device, it instead has a threaded barrel made for the PBS-4 suppressor.

The 6S1 Kanareyka is a suppressed "rifle-grenade-launching complex" (Стрелково-гранатомётный комплекс, a Russian-specific weapon classification, describing a rifle with an attached grenade launcher) developed by TsNIITochMash for the Russian Spetsnaz. The complex includes the AKS-74UB, the PBS-4 supressor, and 30-mm silent grenade launcher BS-1.

kbk wz. 88 Tantal - 5.45x39mm

The kbk wz. 88 (karabinek wzór 1988; lit. "carbine model 1988"), codenamed Tantal ("Tantalum") is a 5.45mm assault rifle designed and produced in Poland in the late 1980s. It is considered by many to be one of the most unique small calibre Kalashnikov rifles made outside of Russia. A primary consideration in its design was the three-round burst option, as well as the ability to fire rifle grenades. In the early 1990s, it was issued to Polish Army units, but with upcoming Poland membership in NATO, Tantal production was halted. It was then replaced by the kbs wz. 1996 Beryl.

skbk wz. 89 Onyks - 5.45x39mm

Poland made its own equivalent of the AKS-74U known as the skbk wz. 89 (subkarabinek wzór 1989; lit. "sub-carbine model 1989"), codenamed Onyks ("Onyx"), based on the wz. 88 Tantal. The Onyks differs from the AKS-74U most notably in the design of the folding stock, rear sights mounted on the front trunion rather than dust cover, and a different muzzle device that allows the firing of rifle-grenades.

Work on the weapon began in 1989 at the Ośrodek Badawczo-Rozwojowy state research institute in the city of Radom. The weapon’s technical specifications were confirmed that same year. First prototypes were made in 1990, and last pre-production batch of approximately 150 (or less) carbines in 1995. Carbines from all three series can be identified by having different rear-sights, or plastic furniture (pictured). The skbk wz. 89 Onyks was never issued to the Polish Army, and weapons from the third batch were destroyed, deactivated or sold to the movie industry.

The kbs wz. 96 (karabinek szturmowy wzór 1996; lit. "assault carbine model 1996"), codenamed Beryl, is a Polish assault rifle chambered for 5.56x45mm NATO. The Beryl rifle was developed from the kbk wz. 88 Tantal rifle, and since its adoption by the Polish military in 1997 went through several modifications focused on improving its ergonomics. The Beryl is often used with a quick-detach sight rail.

Several variants of the rifle exists. The basic model is the kbs wz. 1996A Beryl. The 96B (made in 2004) model has a fixed foregrip and side rails. The 96C (made in 2009) model features many modernized features, such as a new buttstock, rails, magazine, and foregrip. The most recent model is the 96D, made in 2013-2014, which is the 96C with a foldable stock and using STANAG magazines. In addition, two export versions of the 96C in 5.45x39mm and 7.62x39mm are produced, called the M545 and M762, with the M762 being most notably used by Nigeria. A carbine Mini-Beryl also exists.

PA md. 86 - 5.45x39mm

The PA md. 86 (Romanian: Pușca automată Model 1986, lit. "Automatic Rifle Model 1986"), exported under the name AIMS-74, is the Romanian 5.45×39mm update to the former Romanian service rifle, the PM md. 63. While similar to the Soviet AK-74, it is developed independently from it and is not a direct clone of it, and therefore retained some archaic AKM elements, such as the gas block design. The rifle is still the current standard infantry rifle of Romania.

All military PA md. 86 rifles are fitted with folding stocks; PA md. 86/AIMS-74 rifles with fixed stocks (generally nicknamed "AIM-74" in line with nomenclature for Romanian export weapons) are generally custom-built weapons created outside of the Romanian military. The PA md. 86 can be equipped with the AG-40 grenade launcher.
