The Lee Enfield Kalashnikov AK-74 UM is a CO2-powered tribute to one of the most influential military rifles ever produced. Developed in the early 1970s by Mikhail Kalashnikov to replace the AKM, the original AK-74 first saw action during the 1979 Soviet–Afghan War, where its performance quickly became legendary—so much so that the CIA reportedly paid $5,000 for the first captured example. Still used widely across former Soviet and Eastern Bloc nations, the AK-74 remains one of the most recognisable rifles in history. This Brothers in Arms replica captures that legacy with the same dimensions as the original, a folding stock, and a solid 7lb weight, offering authentic handling and presence.

Powered by a 12g CO2 capsule, the AK-74 UM delivers 40+ shots at 400–450 fps, making it ideal for target shooting and collecting. Its 18-round magazine loads 4.5 mm steel BBs, while fully adjustable windage and elevation sights provide practical shooting capability. With its realistic build, folding stock, and faithful styling, the AK-74 UM stands as a fitting homage to a historic rifle—combining the feel of a Cold War classic with the convenience and performance of modern CO2 airgun technology.
