Item from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III by Infinity Ward / Activision
The Konni Group's signature compact assault rifle — Makarov's organization's standard platform, descended from the AK-74u and reclassified as an AR in the MW3 system.
The Kastov-74u is the in-game version of the AK-74u, reclassified from submachine gun to assault rifle in MW2 and carried forward into MW3. It's the weapon you see in Konni Group hands — which means it's the weapon of the campaign's antagonists, which gives it a specific visual signature. Makarov carries it. His operators carry it. When you see a Kastov-74u in MW3, you know whose side the person holding it is on.
A compact, folding-stock assault rifle in the Kastov family — wood-and-metal Soviet aesthetics updated with modern rail systems and optic mounts. Short barrel, tight profile, carried by Konni operators throughout the MW3 campaign. Used by Makarov personally.
Also known as: AK-74u, Kastov 74u
