Strange... The Russians in MW2 use AK-47s, didn't they plan to use the AK-74 as it's main assault rifle in the early/mid 70s? Wouldn't they be at least using the AKM? Both of them are direct improvements over the AK-47 while the AK-74 is a improvement of the AKM. I know it was Soviet Union, but Russia is the legal successor state.

Before any noob says something, the AK-74 is a assault rifle, not a SMG. Even the AKS-74u isn't a SMG, it's a carbine.
