History of the AK74-U:

The AKS74U or AKSU, is a compact weapon from the great Kalashnikov lineage which was put into service at the end of the 1970s. Designed on an AK74 basis, it is intended for special forces, Spetsnaz, close guards and armored unit members.

Its short barrel length significantly increases the weapon's rate of fire to the detriment of its accuracy, range and stability.

Its minimalist dimensions and folding stock make it a discreet weapon, with a small footprint, perfect for short-range combat of the CQB or urban type, at high intensity.

Legal Information

1. A Safe & Regulated Hobby
  • Recreational Nature: Airsoft is an organized sporting activity focused on teamwork and target play, much like paintball.
  • Safety Tested: These items are engineered to discharge lightweight 6mm plastic pellets that are non-lethal and designed specifically for hobbyist use.
  • Legal Status: Under the Firearms Act 1968 (Section 57A), airsoft products are not considered firearms because they operate at very low energy levels.
2. Muzzle Energy & Safety Limits

  • Fully Automatic Models: These are capped at 1.3 Joules.
  • Single Shot Models: These are capped at 2.5 Joules.
  • Toy-Like Characteristics: Because they fire only plastic or part-plastic spherical missiles (max 8mm diameter) at these low energies, they are legally recognized as safe recreational tools.
