The Ak 5D has a shortened [[Gun barrel|barrel]] and [[Forearm (firearm component)|handguard]]. It also features the MIL-STD-1913 rail system for easy mounting of a variety of sights.

Due to the smaller dimensions of the carbine, the Ak 5D is especially suited for ranger/[[urban warfare]] units and vehicle crews who often benefit from a more lightweight and compact weapon when taking into account the nature of their assignments and the environments in which they often operate. The [[Swedish Police]] have used a version of the Ak{{nbsp}}5D; see below.

The newest Ak 5D Mk2 version has the same upgrades as the "C" model but retains the shorter barrel.
