Trivia

 * It is named AK-74U, although it has a folding stock. The right name for the weapon is AKS-74U (Avtomat Kalashnikova Model 1974 Skladnoy Ukorochenniy). Note that Skladnoy means folding.
 * The AK-74 was designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov (the designer of the AK-47) developed in the early 1970s in the Soviet Union as the replacement for the earlier AKM (itself a refined version of the AK-47). While the AKS-74U is the shorten barrel variant of the AK-74 which usually used by Soviet Special Forces during the Afghanistan War of 1979 (as well as the militsiya). So do the Russians still using it today.
 * Do not be confused with AK-47, it is AK-74 with shorten barrel variant.
 * In Taiwan/Hong Kong version, only players that above Level 11 can purchase this weapon and M16A1.
 * The model shows the weapon's fire selector is on safety position, which means the gun wouldn't be able to fire in real-life.
 * The AKS-74U is also classified as a submachine gun sometimes due to its short barrel and high rate of fire.
 * The reloading style is similar to SG552.
