The Ultimate Comparison – AK-47 vs AK-74 on Diffen
It takes some real time to create these charts and track down the information, so my hat is off to Diffen.com which has a comprehensive break-down of the specifications of the AK-47 and the AK-74.
Diffen is a wiki-type website where people can go create similar articles on a multitude of topics. For example, enterprising enthusiasts and have also broken down the AK vs M-16, Glock 17 vs 19, and even the Glock v. 1911.
