AK used in Ukraine by Russian forces.

In themselves they don't present anything extraordinary, but it is worth noting Stechkin pistols are being seen a fair lot.

Various iterations of the AK12.

And that version of the drum mag sure is interesting.

C.A.R Commando with AKM rifle (unknown origin) *I presume a USSR AKM due to the amount already in country.

Another C.A.R troop with Russian AKM
Even though this has an AK-74 muzzle brake, it does not have the 74 gastube. And troop has 7.62x39 steel mags.

I stopped keeping up with all the new polymer butt stocks, handguards, rail adapters, etc. Not sure the nation/company of origin.

This was recently recovered by the Kenyan police from a criminal gang.
