The AKMS is the main variant of the AKM, a 7.62mm assault rifle.
AKMS in Terminator Franchise[]
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines[]
One of the weapons taken from the coffin is an AKMS with a chopped barrel and two magazines held together with a dual-mag clamp. John Connor is first seen using it, trying to defend himself from the T-X when she boards the Hearse he and the other two are making their escape from the cemetery in. It then appears several more times at Cyber Research Systems, most notably when Katherine Brewster uses it to destroy a prototype Hunter-Killer, and then when it's yanked out of Connor's hand by the electromagnet that attracts both the gun and the murderous T-X to it.

Terminator Genisys[]
The AKMS was being used by a Tech-Com soldier during the Final Offensive against Skynet. Terminator Genisys
Notes[]
- In Terminator Genisys, plasma rifles used by Tech-Com soldiers, including Kyle and John, are apparently based on AKMS. Those weapons are referred to as PK-47 in Terminator Genisys: Revolution.
