Аssault rifles АК 101, АК 102, АК 103, АК 104, АК 105
The continuing use of Kalashnikov assault rifles and the preference they are given by users who have other choices, speak for themselves. Armed conflicts in the 1990s revealed shortcomings of a number of popular foreign-made assault rifles, and inspired great export expectations connected with modernized "Kalashes".
In the early 1990s, Izhevsk Machine-building Plant started developing several Kalashnikov modifications derived from the AK 74M assault rifle for firing the world's most popular 7.62x39, 5.45x39 and NATO 5.56x45 rounds. The models were assigned the index "100" to harmonize digital designation of the entire series. Besides export to foreign customers, assault rifles of the 100th series are designed for domestic law enforcement agencies. Source: gunrf.ru
