Description
Every time you skip an "S" in "AKS-74U", a kitten dies. The "S" means "folding", and skipping it pretty much means the Soviet AK has a solid stock. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the AK-74M replaced FOUR AK-74 variants in service, as it has a folding stock and an optic mount, so it doesn't have separate "S" or "N" variants.And the AKSU is a shortened assault rifle, a carbine or a personal defense weapon (PDW) if you wish.
NOT A SUB-MACHINE GUN. IN YOUR FACE, CALL OF DUTY.
Speaking of Call of Duty, here's a Black Ops interpretation of an AKSU - note the forend stretched to the dimensions of the full-scale AK. Also, here's Treyarch's idea on how the PBS-4 is mounted without actually detaching the muzzle brake-compensator.

List of errors COD has done to this special Soviet Carbine:
1. Classifying this shortened AKS-74 as a submachine gun.As in real life,this was used as a assault rifle by the Russian Army itself
2. Appearing in Black Ops 1 during the cold war (1960s) but the actual rifle entered service during 1979
3. Modeling the rifle after a Airsoft AK Beta rifle (MW3 only),and uses Waffle pattern magazines.
4. The errors was fixed in MW1 Remastered,but it still doesn't have the factory side folding stock on.In real life,74Us come with side folding stocks,not underfolding stocks found on later Kalashnikov Variants/DeritivesΒ
5. Tbh at this point,developers need to do some actual research on what service weapons are used by Special Forces and accurate weapons for timelines such as the 1960s Cold War etc

1. While this is less an assault rifle than a vehicle crew PDW, you're correct. A submachine gun is an automatic weapon firing pistol rounds, such as 9x19mm or .45 ACP. The M4A1 and "Commando" are shortened assault rifles as well, but they're not classified as SMGs by CoD devs.
2. Yeah, Black Ops is infamous for its highly anachronistic arsenal.
3. That model is an updated one of the CoD4 "AK-74u", which was also modeled after the Beta-F.
4. You probably mean "earlier". That, and it has an oddly modeled plastic handguard.
5. Totally disagree on this one. The devs need to put more effort into ridiculous camouflages, fancy scopes and reticles, countless DLCs, supply drops, microtransactions, black-asian-transsexual-lesbian-vegan-plussize-midget soldiers, and other ways to ruin the franchise into utter shit. Just look what they did to the poor WWII, and the Remastered itself.

I honestly dont get it why they have to remove the factory front sight on the M4 and M16 when mounting optics on,as real life USMC and Spec Ops users don't remove the front sight which houses the gas tube making the rifle fire in semi and full auto.
To be fair COD has lots of errors on each game,like the Black Ops "AK47" is composed of different AK variants but did not use an actual Milled AK47 or a Stamped AKM that was actually present in the real life Cold War conflict.
F**k COD,I'll just play Counter Strike and other FPS games with accurate arsenal and custom modsΒ (Stalker Clear Sky/Call Of Pripyat/Shadow of Chernobyl and lets not forget the awsome "Call of Chernobyl" mod,Black Mesa,L4D2 etc)
π: 0 β©: 1
"Castrating" the front sight can be considered a "design choice". Nobody wants any sight obstructions, especially since they do not help aiming anymore. Rail risers and low-profile gas blocks or folding sights exist, but apparently the modelers didn't care to make them for most weapon models.
CS isn't exactly perfect in that matter as well. The latest CSGO lets us play as Israeli Defense Force operators, but they're still unable to buy Galil ACEs, which is a terrorist exclusive weapon, never mind the G3SG/1. Plus, it has a horrible Glock franken-gun, a full-auto SIG 556, wrong magazine capacities for many weapons, and even wrong-er names.
π: 0 β©: 1
it can be argued that the SIG556 is converted to full auto,as in real life you can detach its upper receiver and slap it on previous SG550 rifles such as the 552 and 550 to allow full auto and semi firing (since it shares the same receiver pin) and in reality glock 26's don't fire in 3 bursts,just semi auto and low capacity mags since its a sub compact variantΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
Short Glocks can take any glock mags, while the longer ones won't accept short magazines for obvious reasons.

Luckily BO3 kinda fixed the AKS74u model, though it retains the steel mag
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, it's pretty much the closest they got to an actual AKS74U, except it has its stock removed (the hinge is still visible) but lacks the stock catch. The CoD4 MW Remastered got it close enough, but with black furniture and older AKMS underfolding stock. MWR model also has a horribly deformed rear sight (which is looked over anyway) which makes one think of classic jokes about girls lying about their "first time".

there IS a ak-74u with a wooden stock as one of the "auto-rifles" in dead island riptideΒ www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:DIR_AKβ¦

It doesn't make it any less ugly. Like, you know, every gun in Dead Island.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah,the gun models in that game are hideous

Oh yes, an automatic carbine.
At least that's what the Russians say.Β

While this HAS the potential to be cool, it's so badly designed that you just better stick to a normal AK.

is it sad i like black ops interpertation of the AK(S)-74U?
π: 0 β©: 1
Not really. I almost like it too. It is the closest the CoD series have to a real, actual AKSU. If not for the stretched forend (which isn't even wooden), the lack of stock even with the "Grip" attachment (other SMGs get an unfolded/extended stock), and the no-real-sense steel magazines, it would be failry fine.
π: 0 β©: 1
i dont mind the lack of stock (i just interpet it as being removed off in-universe) the steel mags (because ive seen a real AK-74u mag,the orange plastic makes it look FUGLY) the forend isnt really a problem(i didnt notice the stretched-ness,and they've made modern AK-74us that are black)
π: 0 β©: 1
So, orange plastic is fugly but you like Treyarch's Dragunov?
Man, your "beauty standarts" are so off.
π: 0 β©: 1
th draugunov didnt use orange plastic, it used wood
and im a man, we have few standards of beauty anyway
π: 0 β©: 1
The point is not the plastic or wood. It's about it's been blatantly modelled from an AK rifle, which is NOTHING like the actual Dragunov in the MW series.
π: 0 β©: 1
meh, i actually perfer it over hw it looks in mw1 and 2(the big ass scope it had in those games doesnt help)
but i perfer the Mw3 variant over the BO one
π: 0 β©: 1
The "big ass scope" has a resin eye piece, so that you don't hit yourself in the eye with the recoil. It is iconic for the PSO-1 to have it, like the folded stock of the SPAS-12.
The common sense finally prevails. The MW3 SVD-M model is sex incarnate.

well,o ne of them, the others being mw3 ak47, any mp40 (except the wood paneld ones) the thompson, and a few others
π: 0 β©: 1
The MP40 uses bakelite.
π: 0 β©: 1
really? because sometime i see them with brown coloring, sometimes with the (much better) black coloring.whats up with that
π: 0 β©: 1
The bakelite is a sorta early plastic or something. You've probably seen an old radio or telephone with a brown/black/plum frame.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, i have seen vintage radios with that color scheme

Eww!
Thanks for the tips anyways!
Already knew that but, here it is for who doesn't !

This is one of the few ways Call of Duty makes me regret loving the series.

Don't forget CoD4's airsoft AKSU. Then there's Treyarch's Dragunov. And MW2 two-sided Barrett, which made it into the next game (and reappeared in BO2) AND a two-sided AS50. And the "MG36". And, gosh, the Stinger in "Old Wounds".
π: 0 β©: 2
What's wrong with them?
π: 0 β©: 1
In CoD4 the AKSU is modelled after an airsoft mixture of a gun. It has a 7.62x39-shaped magazine, AKS-47 folding stock, and a VERY very short forend. I might eventually wanna draw it for shits and giggles.
The SVD in Blops has AK's receiver, albeit longer and taller. And the safety is on.
The Barrett M82/M107 and the AS50 are obviously modelled with two ejection ports (AS50 even has it MOVING). The Barrett in CoD4 looked just like it was supposed to, before its mirrored ejection port became a Running Gag later in the series.
The "MG36" is an export G36K with a retarded single-drum mag. The real MG36 has a longer barrel and handguard, and is typically equipped with a dual drum, similar to the Beta C-Mag.
The Stinger in Blops 2 (reusing its MW3 model) can be switched from lock-on mode to direct fire mode. The latter involves aiming it with glued RPG-7 sights and gives you the ability to detonate the missile mid-flight. And use it against the tanks.

What about the MG-36 andΒ Treyarch's Dragunov?

It may be one. Still, the PSL has a two-piece AK handguard.
π: 0 β©: 1
Isn't the farcry 2 rifle also a PSL?Β
π: 0 β©: 1
No, it is a fairly nice Dragunov with PSL magazine and a little odd (one piece) handguard.
π: 0 β©: 0
Huh, I noticed stuff like that but didn't think about it.Β
π: 0 β©: 0
IIRC, it's a fairly normal one, but with a steel 7,62 magazine.

Kinda funny how that error got into all three games.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, there were plenty of errors. SVD or SVU was modelled with the safety on, while the other gun was not.

You might want to join the firearms groups I am in. I get more positive feedback but have less talent.
You deserve more fans and supporters.

Thanks. We just work in different "genres". You make pixel art, while I do vector.

It's not like I make more than eight colors, either

huh? how exactly is the AK-74u NOTΒ a submachine gun?
π: 0 β©: 1
A submachine gun is an automatic weapon that fires pistol rounds (9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, 5,7x28, etc). The AKS-74U fires 5.45x39 assault rifle rounds, therefore it is an assault rifle.
The M4A1 is essentially a shortened M16, but nobody calls it a submachine gun, right?
π: 0 β©: 1
I see
and no, people call the M4A1 a Carbine
as for what call of duty calls it (the AK-74u) I think I know why (atleast for the black ops games) theres no sotck on the ak74u in those games...AT ALL, so having the "S", which would imply that there is a stock on it, when infact there isn't, would seem pointless
