It is unpretentious in use, highly reliable and relatively inexpensive small-arms weapon today is in service with the armies of dozens of countries. In different years in Russia and abroad they tried to create an alternative to AK, but most often these attempts encountered a number of problems.

Based on the original AK design, other weapons were created, including carbines.
