AK-74 (top) and AKS-74U. The AKS-74U's compact dimensions were achieved by using a short 206.5 mm (8.1 in) barrel (this forced designers to simultaneously reduce the gas piston operating rod to an appropriate length). Due to the shortening of the operating mechanism, the cyclic rate rose slightly to around 700 rounds per minute. [54]
Developed from the AKS-74U, the Gepard has a 65% parts commonality; it can use the .380 ACP, 9×18mm Makarov, 9×19mm Parabellum, 9×19mm 7N21, 9×21mm and 9×21mm Gyurza without a change and can use the 9×30mm Grom cartridge with a chamber replacement.

The PP-19 Vityaz (also known as the PP-19-01 "Vityaz-SN") is a 9×19mm Parabellum submachine gun developed in 2004 by Russian small arms manufacturer Izhmash. It is based on the AK-74 and offers a high degree of parts commonality with the AK-74. The gun is directly developed from the PP-19 Bizon.
The Bizon also utilizes the AKS-74 side folding stock. [1] It folds to the left side of the receiver but unlike the AKS-74 and AKS-74U, it is not held closed by a spring-loaded capture in the forward end of the receiver. Instead, it is held closed by the forward trunnion pin which is longer on the Bizon than on its AKS-74 predecessors.
It was developed and manufactured by in the late 2010s by Kalashnikov Concern based on the Yevgeny Dragunov MA Compact Rifle. [3] The weapon is intended for use as a close quarters weapon, primarily for military and law enforcement units of the Russian Interior Ministry , Russian National Guard , and Russian Army to replace the AKS-74U .
