The AG-15 is the result of a re-armament program that is held every fifteen years. The criteria for the AG-15 were that it was to be light weight, easily trained on and maintained, and be fairly accurate. The designer, Dimitri Gorodov being a veteran of the local conflicts felt the Kalashnikov's currently in service were not sufficient so he had taken it upon himself to design a new firearm for the nations armed forces. Gorodov designed a weapon that could easily be re-chambered for a different intermediate rifle cartridge with a swap of a barrel and extractor. The original AG-15 was not well liked by conscripted soldiers, as it was mainly made of plastic, the integrated sight/carry handle was somewhat flimsy and the full stock folded to the right making it difficult to fire while closed[ a major issue when inside an APC]. It was then redesigned, replacing the G36 style optics with standard flip up sights, a left folding skeleton stock from an AKS-74, and a redesigned hand guard which can accept either NATO compatible grenade launchers, or the GP-25/30 grenade launcher. In the end, it didn't win over the AK-74M due to it's inability to be mass-produced on the scale of the earlier AK-74, and was less reliable in adverse conditions. The decision was the made to offer it for export.
