0002935: 5N7 ammo likely doesn't exist
5N7 ammunition in AK-74/RPK-74 mags is still in game after the addition of 7N6. Either 5N7 doesn't exist or it is another name for 7N6. See Additional Info for explanation.
I'm led to believe that the "5N7" cartridge doesn't actually exist. It could either be a mis-translation of 7N6 or a designation given to it by NATO/Western sources in the 1980s (similar to calling the AKMS "AKSD" or the AKS-74U "AKR").

I know the team has a lot of Russian developers, however, so I could be totally wrong about all this. Even still, I'm nearly positive that 7N6 was adopted and widespread by 1976, so why would 5N7 still be around?
No tags attached.
