The AK-74M is a variant of the AK-74 weapons platform designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov, with the "M" in the designation standing for "Modernizírovanny" or "Modernized". It was designed to be a more versatile weapon than its predecessors, and features a number of improvements aimed at reducing weight and increasing reliability. It would have been adopted as the primary service rifle of the Soviet Union beginning in the early 1990's, however the Soviet Union collapsed before this could be realized. The subsequent Russian Federation followed through on the planned adoption of the AK-74M, and the rifle still serves today as Russia's current standard infantry rifle.<ref name = "ak74m wiki">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-74#AK-74M Wikipedia entry on the AK-74M]</ref>

AK-74M was originally a fan-design shared by her illustrator {{artist name|やこぶ}} (Yakob) on February 2020.<ref>[https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/79784298 Pixiv]</ref> Yakob apparently became inspired to create a design for 74M due to a quote from {{doll name|9A-91|AR|4}}, where she briefly lists the names of her squad-mates and calls {{doll name|AK-74U|SMG|5}} by the nickname "74". Yakob took it as a sign that the regular AK-74 wouldn't be implemented, and neither would his favorite gun, the AK-74M, inspiring Yakob to work on a personal design mixing elements from {{doll name|AK-47|AR|3}} and {{doll name|AK-12|AR|5}}: the hair color is halfway between the two, and the eye color and cape are based on AK-12's. Yakob commented that she would be 165cm tall, below the minimum recommended size of 170cm for handling the gun. Her clothes are inspired by the aesthetics of [[Griffin and Kryuger]] and the Internal Troops of the Ministry for Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, especially the former MVD unit 604th Special Operations Center "Vityaz" (elements from the Russian Armed Forces and FSB were considered but not implemented to keep the design cleaner).
Yakob provided specific references for her equipment:
*Her earmuffs are based on the GSSh-01 (6M2).
*Pouches and belts are a mix of Warrior Assault Systems and SSO-issued. Leg utilities are from SRVV and kneecaps from ALTA.
*The gun itself is inspired by the 604th's loadout and uses an UTG side rail, Eotech 552 sight and 6kh5 bayonet.<ref>[https://x.com/yakob_labo/status/1441420751748272131 @yakob_labo] ([[Artist:やこぶ/Transcripts|Transcript]])</ref>
In the damaged artwork for "Harpoon Master", AK-74M is seen to have a drum magazine, similar to {{doll name|RPK-16|MG|5}}'s drum magazine, while in the regular art, it is shown to have the standard 30-round magazine that the AK-74M normally has.

*AK-74M was originally a fan-made OC created by her illustrator Yakob. Yakob apparently became inspired to create a design for 74M due to a quote from {{doll name|9A-91|AR|4}}, where she briefly rattles off the names of her squad-mates. During this exchange, she mentions a "74" as being part of her squad, and while it was entirely possibly that 9A-91 was talking about AK-74U, Yakob ran with the idea that she was instead talking about an entirely different T-Doll.
