It's a RPK (Ruchnoi Pulemet Kalashnikova) light machine gun. I know because
I've been on the receiving end of it's use more than once. I fired one after
Desert Storm. Not a bad weapon.

AK-74 says Toucan

Toucan is wrong. AK74 are stockier, with snubbed nose barrel, better for CQB.
That is a RPK, similar to the SAW, but I believe it uses 7.62 ammo, I might be
wrong on that last fact.

RPK 74
Anonymous Report This Comment Date: February 10, 2006 02:57PM
The RPK (Ruchnoi Pulemet Kalashnikova = Kalashnikov light machinegun) was
developed as a light support weapon, and had been issued in Soviet Army by one
item per each infantry squad (10 men). It had been officially replaced in
service by RPK-74 but in fact is still in use with many 2nd line and
non-infantry troops, as well as with other Para-military organisations in Russia
and other states.
Basically, the RPK is a AK-47 (AKM) assault rifle with sturdier receiver,
heavier and longer, non detachable barrel, and re-contoured wooden buttstock.
The sights were re-calibrated according to longer barrel, and the rear sight has
a windage ajustments. The non detachable, folding bipods are mounted undder the
muzzle. RPK can be fed from special 40 rds box or 75 rds drums magazines, as
well as from standart AK-47 type 30 rds box magazines.
The paratrooper version of the RPK, called RPK-S, had side-folding wooden
buttstock.
