AK-100 (rifle family)

The original AK-100 series rifles consists of:

• the 5.56×45mm NATO-chambered AK-101 assault rifle and AK-102 carbine;
• the 7.62×39mm-chambered AK-103 assault rifle and AK-104 carbine; and
• the 5.45×39mm-chambered AK-105 carbine.

The AK-101, AK-102, and AK-104 are destined primarily for export, while the AK-105 was slated to replace the AKS-74U with the Russian Armed Forces. The 103 is used by Russian military and police groups in addition to being exported.

Additionally, the AK-107 (5.45×39mm M74) and AK-108 (5.56×45mm NATO) rifles have a balanced recoil system to reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise. This balanced recoil system is derived from the AEK-971 rifle.

The AK-100M/AK-200 rifle family was initially conceived around 2009 as an improved variant of the basic AK-100 series. Most improvements centered on ergonomic improvements and mounting systems for accessories. The development of the AK-100M/AK-200 family was stopped around 2011 but resumed around 2016. In 2017, Kalashnikov unveiled the modernised versions of the AK-100 family of rifles. The AK-200 series are somewhat heavier and less advanced compared to the AK-12 family, but also cheaper.

As of 2018, the AK-200 series rifles are offered for export sales and for domestic law enforcement users in Russia.[1][2][3][4] The AK-200 series are based on the AK-100 series and the AK-12. They can be chambered in 5.45×39mm, 5.56×45mm NATO and 7.62×39mm, and use a barrel and gas system assembly similar to that of the AK-74M/AK-100 rifle family. Improvements added from the AK-12 include Picatinny rails, a new pistol grip, a new adjustable buttstock and a new flash hider.[5] They feed from 30-round magazines, and are compatible with drum magazines from the RPK and RPK-74.[6]

The models of the AK-200 series are:

• the 5.45×39mm-chambered AK-200 assault rifle and AK-205 carbine;
• the 5.56×45mm NATO-chambered AK-201 assault rifle and AK-202 carbine; and
• the 7.62×39mm-chambered AK-203 assault rifle and AK-204 carbine.

On 3 March 2019, Russia and India inaugurated Indo-Russia Rifles in Uttar Pradesh, India to produce AK-203 assault rifles.[7][8]
