AK-47 vs AK-74: What's The Difference?

AK-47 vs AK-74: What's The Difference?

So, when I woke up naked on the floor of my cheap hotel room, I stopped to think for a minute, “Wow! I sure do get a lot of comments from new subscribers asking the differences between AK-47s and AK-74s!” So as soon as I could peel my face off the Holiday Inn carpet, I decided that’s exactly what I was going to do today, because even though this information is widely available on the internet…Google is hard.

About Me

My name is Brandon Herrera. I’m the owner and operator of The AK Guy Inc, a 07 Firearm Manufacturer based out of Fayetteville, NC. I also co-own Stark Media Group, and designed the rifle known as the AK-50.

I’ve started to dedicate this YouTube channel above all to have fun, but also as a way to document my entrepreneurial journey for the next few years as I try to grow my companies. Hopefully, people can learn from my example, successes, and failures.

Either way, I’m having a lot of fun with it so far, and I hope it’s just as fun to follow along!

    The AK-74M is the standard issue rifle for the Russian army and special forces.



  6. Aaron Fleisher on October 27, 2021 at 5:50 pm

    An AK-47 with a milled receiver just seems heretical.



  7. Quin Ray on October 27, 2021 at 5:51 pm

    During World War II, the Sturmgewehr 44 rifle used by German forces made a deep impression on their Soviet counterparts. The select-fire rifle was chambered for a new intermediate cartridge, the 7.92×33mm Kurz, and combined the firepower of a submachine gun with the range and accuracy of a rifle. On 15 July 1943, an earlier model of the Sturmgewehr was demonstrated before the People’s Commissariat of Arms of the USSR. The Soviets were impressed with the weapon and immediately set about developing an intermediate caliber fully automatic rifle of their own, to replace the PPSh-41 submachine guns and outdated Mosin–Nagant bolt-action rifles that armed most of the Soviet Army. The Soviets soon developed the 7.62×39mm M43 cartridge, the semi-automatic SKS carbine and the RPD light machine gun. Shortly after World War II, the Soviets developed the AK-47 rifle, which would quickly replace the SKS in Soviet service. Introduced in 1959, the AKM is a lighter stamped steel version and the most ubiquitous variant of the entire AK series of firearms. In the 1960s, the Soviets introduced the RPK light machine gun, an AK type weapon with a stronger receiver, a longer heavy barrel, and a bipod, that would eventually replace the RPD light machine gun.

    "because even though this information is widely available on the internet…Google is hard." If I’ve to choose between reading and listening, I’ll always choose the latter. Reading a song vs listening to a song, which one wud u choose? Every video that u’ve made so far, all that info can be searched via Google as well. Does that make yr videos any less important? U TELL ME!

    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. – Romans 10:9 from the Bible ❤



  31. Kevin on October 27, 2021 at 6:17 pm

    Ar guys get mad when a ak has a bigger dong



  32. Ls1 1980cutty on October 27, 2021 at 6:18 pm

    Wouldn’t the 90° gas block make the guns fire rate a little slower?? Because in the world of cars, when you build exhaust, the sharper your bends are the less it will flow, smooth rolling bends help keep the exhaust moving quickly, so wouldn’t the 45° gas block make more sense? It’s probably not much of a difference but I just would imagine it would perform better.



  33. Michael Cornell on October 27, 2021 at 6:20 pm

    Young Brandon is scary



  34. Racko Wacko on October 27, 2021 at 6:21 pm

    There are about a million differences between the AK-47 and AK-74, but we’ve tried to keep it simple and just identify some of the core differences! Don’t forget about #AKGNotificationSquad!
