| 5.45 x 39 mm M74 |
The Soviet 5.45 × 39 mm M74 round was introduced into service in 1974 in the AK-74 assault rifle, an updated version of the AK-47, and the AKSU-74 carbine/sub-machine gun. The round, which replaced the 7.62 × 39 mm round then in Soviet service, was likely developed based on Soviet observation of the American 5.56 × 45 mm round in Vietnam. (references) |
| 7.62 x 39 mm |
The Soviet 7.62 × 39 mm rifle cartridge was designed during World War II for the SKS carbine. The cartridge was influenced by the late-war German 7.92 mm Kurz ("Kurz" meaning "short" in German). Shortly after the war the world's most (in)famous assault rifle was designed for this cartridge: the AK-47. The cartridge remained the standard Soviet load until the 1970s, and is still by far the most common intermediate rifle cartridge used around the world. Its replacement, the 5.45 × 39 mm cartridge, is less powerful but longer ranged (due to its much higher velocity) and is more controllable in full-auto fire (due to the lower recoil). The change was a response to the NATO switch from the 7.62 mm cartridge to 5.56 x 45 mm NATO. (references) |
