The AKM 74/1 is an assault rifle that appears in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha.


An upgrade of the classic Soviet assault rifle, now equipped with a folding stock. It uses 7.62x39 mm ammunition. It is a simple and reliable weapon, but the cheapness of its production affected its ergonomy and accuracy. Rarely seen in the Zone because of the surplus of its newer models.

Notes[]

  • Has an alternate version with a different texture.
  • Can be found used by Duty troops, especially in the bar area. Also found in use by Monolithians at the Dark Valley base.
  • As of 1.4007 DC no longer appears in Strelok's stash.
  • It causes slightly more damage than its commonly found brother, Akm 74/2 (ver. 1.3003)
  • The v1.4007 PRM Weapons Pack offers an additional upgrade 5A to mount a scope.

Trivia[]

  • The cartridge was changed from 5.45x39mm to the historically correct 7.62x39mm in the Developer's Cut (1.4000).
  • The inventory description before v1.4005 is that of the Akm 74/2 and therefor to be ignored.
