AK-12K – Compact Assault Carbine The AK-12K is a shortened, hard-hitting variant of the latest Russian "100-series" successor, the AK-12. Designed for urban operations, vehicle crews, and special forces, this carbine delivers the same legendary reliability of the Kalashnikov platform in a much more maneuverable package. Featuring a 325mm cold hammer-forged barrel, the AK-12K bridges the gap between a standard assault rifle and a submachine gun. It fires the hard-hitting 5.45×39mm round with reduced muzzle flash and recoil, making it devastatingly effective at close to medium ranges. The AK-12K retains the long-stroke gas piston system, renowned for functioning in the worst possible conditions – mud, sand, ice, or complete lack of cleaning. It’s a weapon you can trust when there is no second chance. Perfect for: Close-quarters battle (CQB) environments Vehicle crews and pilots Reconnaissance units Any operator who needs maximum firepower in a minimal footprint
