GURPS Firearm: Saiga-410K-01 in .410G 3"

Top: Saiga-410K-01 with 16" barrel and full body folding stock

Bottom: Saiga-401K-04 with 14" barrel and skeletonized folding stock 

Produced since 1994, Saiga-410K-01 is a civilian variant of AK74M chambered for .410G 3" shotgun shells. Designed for civilian gunowners and legally classified as a shotgun, it's an easy to acquire self-defense and hunting weapon. In countries that restrict rifles, but not shotguns, it can serve as a primary longarm for a party of civilians. Folding stock allows comfortable transportation, while dovetail accessory side-mount allows installation of optical, night and collimating sights. Most accessories designed for AK74M can fit on it.

Saiga-410K-04 is based on AK-105 instead and is slightly handier. Due to Russia's gun laws regarding weapon length, 410K-04 cannot fire with it's stock folded.

Both variants are primarily used with 3" Magnum Rifled Slugs (in table), but 00 buckshot is available (dmg 1d+1 pi, acc 3, range 40/800, RoF 3x5, rcl 1) as well as 2.5" #5 Buckshot (Dmg 1d-4 (0.5) pi-, acc 3, range 10/220, RoF 3x204, rcl 1). 2.5" slug (Dmg 2d+1 pi+) and buckshot (Dmg 1d+1 pi, RoF 3x3) are rather anemic.

Saiga-410K feeds from plastic detachable 10- or 15-round magazines. 15-round magazines often have a rudimentary 10-round limiter, which can be removed in 1 minute without any tools.

Saiga-410K has sound signature of 150 db and can use shotgun suppressors(-2 to hearing).

Made for civilians, it has no bayonet lug and cannot fit grenade launchers designed for the AK family.

A gunsmith can modify the shotgun to fire automatically. Unfavorable Task (-1), Time: 12 hours, RoF 6!, Malf -16. See TS69 for more information.

It is also possible to modify the 410K-04 variant to fire with stock folded. Use the same rules as for converting the weapon to full auto.

Uses Guns (Shotgun) or Guns (Longarm) skill.
