A select-fire light rifle platform based on the [[M16|AR-15/M16 family of rifles]], traditionally chambered in [[5.56x45mm NATO]]. They are sometimes called '''black rifles''', after the black coloration of the standard furniture, giving these rifles a distinctive look. AR-15 rifles are famous for their use of the Stoner-style direct impingement (Stoner DI) action, as opposed to piston-based systems.
Any To be considered part of the Customs AR-15 style platform chambered in a ''rifle caliber'' family, the weapon must not merely have the looks and using controls of an AR-15 but also use the original Stoner DI action is considered to be part of the AR-15 family. This excludes pistol-caliber platforms such as the [[Colt RO635]] (these are direct blowback) or certain [[AR-15#"AR-15 style" weapons|AR-15 style]] firearm firearms using other actions, such as the [[Honey Badger]], which use a (short-stroke piston system instead).

(WIP)A select-fire rifle platform based on the [[AK|Kalashnikov family of rifles]], originally chambered in [[7.62x39mm]]. The AK is famous for its legendary reliability, which is afforded by its long-stroke piston gas operation system, its all-steel construction and its loose tolerances.
To be considered part of the Customs AK family, the rifle must not merely have the looks and controls of an AK, but use the original operating system as well, which will suggest a rifle caliber chambering as well. This disqualifies pistol-caliber AK derivatives like the [[PP-19 Bizon]] or shotgun-caliber derivatives like the [[Saiga-12]]. However, despite certain differences in receiver sizes, all models from the [[AKS-74U]] to the [[RPK]] are considered part of the family.

== AK weapon categorization ==
Depending on the selected configuration of modifications, your AK's weapon category may change.
* If the weapon has the '''Safe/Semi''' selector, the category changes to '''Conventional rifle''', regardless of any other mods installed.
* Otherwise, the weapon category depends on barrel configuration. If it is the 23.2" '''Machine gun''' barrel, the category changes to '''Machine gun'''. Any other configuration is a '''Combat rifle'''.
