The AKS74U in the video is in 5.45x39mm, the curvature of the magazine can tell you right away that it's in 5.45x39mm, compare an AKM magazine to an AK74 magazine and the difference is very obvious. Also there is no "older" AKS74U, before this the Soviet army had the AKMS and AKMSN (for optical sights) in 7.62x39mm.

[@Antimanele104]

The Fedorov is not an AR because it doesn't use an intermediate cartridge. There are 3 main rules for a rifle to be classified as an assault rifle: - to have an intermediate caliber - to have a detachable magazine - to have selective fire capability. The Fedorov would classify more as a battle rifle than an AR.

If you're going to include intermediate cartridge rifles with no pistol grips, you have to list the M-2 carbine. If you're going to include rifles with full length cartridges like the 7.62 x 51, then you have to list the FG-42.

.308 isnt an intermediate cartridge.I know there are some like the fedorov on this list that are also in .308, the FN SCAR 17 and G3 for example. The difference is THOSE were built to be assault rifles whereas the M14 is a battle rifle through and through. The difference is MOA and build purpose. For a gun to be considered an assault rifle there are criteria that have to be met and the M14 doesn't meet those criteria. Theres a reason that full auto .308s never saw much action and were not very popular. Nowadays even the SCAR 17 G3 rifles are considered battle rifles even though they were purpose built as assault rifles. Its weird and it sucks but maybe one day we can get a overall weapons evolution video that isnt full of so much wrong

But, Germans got about 400 000 pieces of these weapons, mostly in Waffen SS. That is a historical fact. And, when Germany capitulated on 8th of May, 1945, the Soviets started robbing and stealing German goods, patents and industrial machines. And, 3 years later was created AK-47 and that is a second automatic rifle in human history. Americans, British, French and the Jews were made that automatic rifle, first time, even later or in 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Simple as that and that is a eternal truth.
