The AK-74 Assault Rifle shares the same basic mechanism as the famous AK-47 but is chambered for a smaller, higher velocity round, the 5.45x39mm cartridge.

The AK-74 has offically replaced the AK-47 in the Russian Armed Forces.

In Resident Evil
In Chapter 5-1 of Resident Evil 5, the AK-74 can be found in a case in the small room before heading up the stairs after the first enemy encounter.

It is the main firearm of the Tricell Security forces, the Base Majinis. The other weapon is the RPG-7.

It has a starting firepower of 90, reload speed of 2.83, and a capacity of 30. Fully upgraded, it has a firepower of 250, reload speed of 2.55, and a capacity of 50. It has the highest power of all the machine guns in the game. but the least capacity. However, heavy recoil can make it difficult to place accurate shots with repeated fire at medium/long range.

Resident Evil: The Deck Building Game
The AK-74 is a Weapon Card in the Resident Evil DBG. Here it is called the Russian Assault Rifle. It is the main card of the Machine Gun deck in the Resource Area of Alliance. This makes it the successor of the Assault Machine Gun from the base set. The AK has its ammo requirement and Damage listed as "X", meaning that those factors are determined by how much ammo the player is using. However, the weapons effect states that only 20 ammo can be used. Therefore it can only deal 20 Damage by itself without Damage bonuses. Its Gold Cost is 40.
