AG-043
AG-043 (АГ-043) was a Soviet compact fully automatic assault rifle or carbine chambered for the 5.45×39mm round, developed in 1975.[1] The weapon is a derivative of the earlier and similar AO-31 which also is Simonov's adaptation of the AK-47.
The AG-043 had folding stock; a version with fixed stock was given the designation AG-042. Both were designed by
AKS-74U.[2]
