AK-74U
The AK-74U (Russian: Автомат Калашникова Складной образца 1974 года Укороченный, Automatic Kalashnikov Folding model 1974 Shortened) is a Soviet carbine, developed in the late 1970s. Nicknamed "Ksyukha" in Russia and "Krinkov" in the USA, the AKS-74U straddles the line between an assault rifle and submachine gun, firing the 5.45x39mm rifle cartridge with a severely shortened barrel. This allows for maneuverability in restricted spaces, yet noticeably decreases both its accuracy and muzzle velocity.
Initially developed as a shortened version of the AK-74 for Soviet vehicle crews, the AKS-74U would also see adoption by Soviet police and Spetsnaz units. The AKS-74U has not been produced in Russia since 1993, and has mostly been replaced by the slightly larger AK-105 in Russian military service.

The 5.45mm SMG is a weapon that appears in Tom Clancy's The Sum of All Fears. It is the perfect weapon when high stopping power, superb accuracy and fast reloading speed is necessary. Just like the M4A1 and G36K, it can be fired in 3-round burst mode.
