On history

Soviet designed light machine gun, the RPK-74 replaced the original RPK which replaced the even older RPD machine gun used by the soviet forces. The RPK-74 is a heavier variant of the AK-74, this means that while essentially the same gun, the RPK-74 has a longer, heavier and sturdier barrel to improve effective range and withstand longer firing periods, thus improving the gun life span, The internals of the guns have also been reinforced with thicker steel to improve durability, and at last, the buttstock is wider and shaped differently to aid in prone shooting.

Designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov, the RPK-74 was adopted into military service in 1974 along with the AK-74 in an effort to standardize the arsenal of the soviet union.
