|quotetext=First there was the [[AKM|first generation]]. Then there was the [[AK-74|second]], and then the [[AK-101|third]]. Forget everything you thought you knew about the AK, save for the legendary reliability. The AK-12 series aims to be the most ambitious generation - the fourth - of Kalashnikov-pattern rifles. Out of the box, you get a 5.45x39mm combat rifle with a fully adjustable stock, a full length optics rail, three fire modes, a threaded barrel, and long side and underbarrel rails for maximum modularity. The only things that don't change are the magazines, the dependability, and the big smile you'll get when you get buy one. You will get buy an AK-12, won't you?

== Other information ==
* [[Bayonet]] compatibility: [[6X5 AK bayonet]]
== Trivia ==
* All [[AK-12]] rifles featured in the game (as well as the [[SVK-12]]) are based on the original 2012 prototypes of the AK-12 rifle series, rather than the later production models made by Kalashnikov Concern, which did not yet exist at the time they were added to the game. The author has decided to intentionally keep the prototypes instead of replacing them with the more modern rifles, out of personal preference.
* The listed manufacturer is IZHMASH, which still existed in 2012. The merger of IZHMASH and IZHMEKH which resulted in the creation of a new company now known as Kalashnikov Concern occurred in 2013.
* The designation '''AK-12-1''' is not official. Because nearly all AK-12 prototypes were simply designated "AK-12", the numbered suffix is a creative liberty that was added to differentiate each model.
