...With the AK-74; a weapon that uses the exact same design as the AK-47 - but with a smaller round.
The smaller round gives better accuracy, lower chamber pressures and temps, and better wound characteristics. However after over 60 years of deployment, they still feel that their simple piston blowback operation is better for their harsh operating environments and the under trained soldiers that many of their arms buyers use.
I'm not trying to knock your love for the M4, but don't knock the AK.
