Many special forces units have AK-100 series.

So I've heard which is why I looked up a link with the info. When I first heard there was an assault rifle in the AK series and an LMG similar to the SAW both made in Russia and both firing NATO 5.56 I thought that must be a mistake.

I figured they were weapons altered about the same way I had a Garand altered to use NATO 7.62. I was wrong, both are export versions made in Russia and readily available for a very good price on the world market. I would bet more than a few have been purchased with US and EU tax dollars.
