	~~=HISTORY=~~
	The AMD-65 is a Hungarian-manufactured licensed variant of the venerable selective fire [[AKM]] rifle for use by that nation's armored infantry and paratrooper ("descent") units within the Hungarian Defence Forces.

			'''AMD-65''' is a Hungarian AK-pattern assault rifle/carbine chambered in 7.62×39mm. It is a licensed development of the [[AKM]], built in a more compact configuration for troops who needed a shorter weapon. It is best known for its side-folding stock, forward vertical grip, and distinctive muzzle device intended to improve control on a shortened barrel.

	~~File:Fa ar amd65 p07~~.~~jpg~~		Hungary developed the AMD-65 in the mid-1960s as a compact Kalashnikov for mechanized and airborne-type units, keeping the AKM operating system and cartridge while changing the external layout for easier carry and use in confined spaces. Museum and reference descriptions highlight the rifle’s side-folding metal stock, forward pistol/vertical grip, and a prominent muzzle device (often described as a compensator or brake), all aimed at making the short weapon more manageable in automatic fire.

			Although the AMD-65 was primarily a Hungarian service weapon, examples reached other conflicts through export and redistribution. An Imperial War Museums collection example is documented as having been captured in Vietnam during the Vietnam War, indicating that at least some AMD-65 carbines appeared in theater alongside other Warsaw Pact and Chinese small arms.
