20. They actually named the successor to the AK-47 the AK-74 ??

The AK-74 assault rifle is a modernized version of the AK-47 developed in 1974, chambered for the 5.45x39mm cartridge. The weapon entered mass-production in 1976. The newest variant, the AK-74M, is the current main service rifle for the Russian Federation armed forces since the early 1990s.

Bad news for the dyslexic.
