AK-74 Reliability a "B"?

[HirooOnoda]

Just curious how the AK-74 was given a lesser reliability rating than the AK-47 and AK-74s.

If anything, the AK-74S should have a relability rating of a "B" due to its shorter piston.

Also, the AK-74S should have a shorter range than the AK-74 due to the longer barrel on the AK-74.

I am checking the data editor at the moment. All AK series weapons have A reliability. Except AKMS and grenade launcher which have B.

Well this AK-74 also has the Grenade launcher so perhaps that explains it.
