The AK-102's short barrel sacrifices long-range accuracy for maneuverability on-par to the AKS-74u.
- The AK-102 assault rifle is a shortened carbine version of the AK-101 rifle, which in turn was derived from the original AK-47 design and its AK-74 successor. The AK-102, AK-104, and AK-105 are very similar in design, the only difference being the caliber and corresponding magazine type.

The AK-102's short barrel sacrifices long-range accuracy for maneuverability on-par to the AKS-74u. The AK-102 was used by Middle Eastern militiamen during the time of the war economy. While accompanying a group of the militia soldiers into battle in 2014, Solid Snake was equipped with an AK-102 himself. However, while attempting to fire the weapon, the gun itself jammed, much to Snake's annoyance and he was forced to abandon it. The reason for the jam was later speculated to have been from the local ammo cartridges undergoing abnormal combustion, causing them to undergo excessive pressure and eventually fuse into the gun chamber. Following his escape from several unmanned Gekko units, Snake later found an operable AK. Drebin also had at least one AK-102 inside his Stryker, presumably as a weapon to be sold. One can also be found on the weapon's rack of the Nomad along with a DSR-1, and the Mk. 2 pistol.
- The AK-102 assault rifle is a shortened carbine version of the AK-101 rifle, which in turn was derived from the original AK-47 design and its AK-74 successor. The AK-102, AK-104, and AK-105 are very similar in design, the only difference being the caliber and corresponding magazine type. The AK-102 is an export version chambered to fire 5.56×45mm NATO ammunition. Compared to the AK-101 and AK-103, which are full-size rifles of similar design, the AK-102, 104, and 105 feature shortened barrels that make them a middle ground between a full rifle and the more compact AKS-74U. Whereas the AK-10x rifles have longer barrels, full-length gas pistons, and solid, side-folding polymer stocks, the AKS-74U is shorter, and features a skeleton stock. The rifle's receiver is made of stamped steel. The magazine is lighter, and more durable than older models, being made out of reinforced fiberglass. The butt stock is made of plastic, making it lighter, more durable, and it is hollow, allowing a field kit to be stored in side of it.[citation needed] The 100-series AKs are produced by the Izhmash factories in Izhevsk, Russia.
