A short blurb on the gun:
First came to western attention some time in the 80s, the AKS-74U (Avtomat Kalashnikova Skladnoy Ukrochenniy, Kalashnikov Automatic Rifle, Folding, Shortened) was designed to bridge the gap between rifles and SMGs providing the penetration power of a rifle in a much smaller package, and was primarily issued to special forces, paratroopers and vehicle crews. It could even be considered one of the first PDW concept weapons. It has an 8.3" 1 in 6" twist barrel and fires standard 5.45x39 7n6 rounds at approximately 24-2500FPS. It's effective range is limited to 1-200M due to it's rather poor accuracy, though the round remains effective beyond that range.
The rifle is commonly know in the west as the Krinkov, though no-one is sure where this name came from. In Russia it's known as the Ksyukha (a woman's name) the Suchka (little b#tch) or Okurok (cigarette stub).
