🪖 Kalashnikov AKS-74U in Escape from Tarkov

The AKS-74U is the compact carbine version of the AK-74, chambered in 5.45×39mm. In Tarkov, it’s one of the most common, affordable rifles — perfect for close-quarters combat and early-wipe budget runs.

🔑 Key Characteristics

• 🔫 Caliber: 5.45×39 mm

• 🔄 Fire Modes: Semi-auto & full-auto

• ⚡ Rate of Fire: ~650–735 RPM

• 🪶 Handling: Extremely compact, great for Factory or indoor maps

• 🎯 Recoil: Higher than full AK-74s, but controllable with mods

• 📏 Effective Range: Best <100m; weaker at long range due to low muzzle velocity

💣 Ammunition Choices
Performance depends almost entirely on ammo:

• 🥇 Best vs Armor: 7N39, 7N40, BS, BP – high penetration

• ⚖️ Balanced: BT or PP – solid pen & damage

• 💥 Budget: PS or FMJ – cheap, good vs unarmored targets

🛠️ Modding Potential
While more limited than M4s or HK416s, the AKS-74U can still be tuned:

• 🔧 Muzzle Devices: Compensators/suppressors to cut recoil

• 🛡️ Dust Cover & Handguards: Rails for red dots or compact scopes

• 📐 Stocks: Folding or polymer upgrades for ergonomics

• ✋ Foregrips: Better control for auto fire

⚖️ Strengths & Weaknesses

✅ Strengths

• Cheap & widely available

• Extremely compact & mobile

• Strong ammo variety in 5.45 family

• Great for budget raids & early wipe

❌ Weaknesses

• Weak at long range

• Limited modding vs bigger AKs

• Reliant on high-pen ammo for effectiveness

🎯 Best Use Cases

• 🏭 Factory & Interchange: tight CQB fights

• 💸 Budget raids: PS or BT ammo builds

• ⚡ Aggressive play: ambushes & pushes with fast handling

💡 Quick Tips

• Stick to close-quarters maps or rooms.

• Ammo > mods — always bring the right rounds.

• Compensator + foregrip = cheap stability.

• Don’t force long-range fights — this gun shines up close.
