AKM VS AK74

[Osprey98 7]

which one is better?

I prefer AK74.

AKM has common ammo, takes PSO-1, Drum magazines, they both have interchangeable furniture, but AKM is king.

AKM - in almost every way. The AK74 has faster projectile speed and less recoil but otherwise its clearly inferior.

I've tested both a lot, and I have to say that overall the AKM is slightly better. In terms of damage it out-performs the AK74, but has more recoil. Basically the AK74 look and feels much like the AK101 with a very high velocity projectile and low recoil, but unlike the AK101 or the AKM, the AK74 can't mount any scopes for now.

 

Personally I like the AK101 the most, then the AKM and lastly both the AK74 and AKS74u, but the AKM is overall the "best" out of them.

AKM has range and power, sure, but honestly if you take a bullet to the chest from any assault rifle it should kill you.  At the very least send you into shock.

I find AKM rounds more often than 5.45 because I tend to avoid the military zones.  7.62 rounds, however, can be found almost anywhere.

AKM is my jam, if I had to choose.

Although I like both very much. I have an M4A1 on my back. But I don't use it, I use my fists. Damn communists don't suspect a thing.

AKM, bigga' bullet.

I found 7 mags for the akm in the time it took me to find 2 for the ak74 and 1 for the ak 101. but I found 16 ak101's, 6 ak 74's,and 4 aks74u's when I only found 3 akm's . I found 240 5.45 mm rounds in the time it took me to find 249 7.62 rounds and 120 5.56 mm rounds. this stuff was found at the veresnik military base over the course of a few days. akm mags and rounds are the most common but the ak101 is the most common ak. I think the ak 101 is the most common but 1 of the servers was broken with tooo much loot. I love that glitch but don't know why it happens

Agree. I don't like AK74' damage - sometimes I needed 3-4 shots for one zed.

[Osprey98 7]

that's why I chose the akm.

While the AKM has better stopping power and much more common magazines, I still love the AK74 for the fact that extra 5.45 can easily fit in my inventory. Also the AK74, especially the mag, looks the best out of all the AKs.

Should be the other way around.

Akm low end no accessories drum mag only iron sights.

Ak 74 medium end takes some accessories including the pso but the elevation adjustments should be very wrong.

Ak 101 takes all ak accessories.

AK74 can be placed in backpack and complimented with Mosin LRS. Nuff said

AKM puts guys down quicker.  The ammo for the AK74 leaves much to be desired in that area.  Tested it myself on quite a few unwilling participants.  It seemed worse than an M4 for laying guys out.

You mean the orange color right? Because it's the same mag as the AK101. I repainted my AK74 black, and it looks just like an AK101.

 

 

Personally I like the AK101 better, but if I had to take an AK74, I would swap the parts for the AKM ones, as the gun then looks just like it's ArmA2/DayZ mod counterpart. Same with the AKM, while using the AK74 parts.

remember guys

5.45 does around the same damage as 9mm
