Kalashnikov Concern AK-74 5.45x39mm 16.3-inch
The AK-74 replaced the AKM as the standard Soviet assault rifle, adopting the smaller 5.45x39mm cartridge that offered higher velocity and a flatter trajectory. The 5.45mm bullet is notable for its steel-core construction and hollow nose cavity that causes tumbling and fragmentation on impact. The AK-74 and its derivatives remain the primary Russian infantry rifle.
