both were given the number 74 as that was the year they were officially put into production, although prototypes and patents have existed since 2469, many failing to mix the legacy and function o rifle and the power of 26th Century firearms. While the weapon was never offically adopted by any of the branches, it has seen extensive service with some Russian Police Departments, sub-branch of the Department of Russian Security and has even been seen with milita's. While the AKRS can be bought by anyone with a firm price of 1740 , the TSAR is legally available only to DRS operators, but some have made it out into the open through the Black Market under shady circumstances.

==Project: TRIBUTE==
===Nashka and Yuri Alekseevan===
In 2465, Nashka and Yuri Alekseevan took over the Alekseevan Home Defense Company after the sudden passing of their father one night, Yegor Alekseevan, during a buisness trip to a Convention for all companies who partook in any kind of firearm or military equipment. The two, who had only joined their fathers company a year before his death had been bribed multiple times to turn the company over to the Board of Directors due to fears of losing investors all of which were turned down. While the two decided to keep the current course their father had planned they also wanted to present a new weapon, while many ideas were thought up, the two settled and agreed to take inspiration from the legendary gunsmith of the 20th and 21st century, Mikhail Kalashnikov and thus Project: TRIBUTE was born.
===AKRS-68===
While the gun is officially noticed as the TSAR, it didn't earn that name until it's final prototype that was approved for mass production, all prototypes were referred to as the AKRS series the first prototype, built by Nashka and her brother Yuri, was the AKRS-68. A rifle that used the legendary Kalashnikov AK design as a base for models. Instead of being loaded with the standard 7.62x51mm it was built to use the ammo. Most of the focus would be around the design which caused much of the issues the prototypes faced as they were barely following the set up Kalashnikov had made for his firearms. The original AKRS-68 can be found on display in the Russian Wing at the . Another AKRS-68, that was 3D Printed for decoration purposes, is privately owned by Nashka's granddaughter at her home in .
===AKRS-70===
===AKRS-C70===
Seeing the rifle idea was failing, Yuri decided to try a different route and began to study the M7 caseless SMG to find his answer to their AKRS project. The weapon, however; would only stay in its blueprint stages as Yuri would pass away after a brain aneurism occurred while he was working on the AKRS-C70. This left Nashka as the last remaining person to work project: TRIBUTE. It would be only a couple years until she would come up with the next prototype, but what she would create would go on to start the line of the AKRS family of rifles and its sister line the TSAR line.
===AKRS-72===
 
Nashka last chance at producing a rifle for her company was the AKRS-72. The rifle was able to enter its prototype phase and was even able to be fired; resulting 98 out of 100 rounds cycle through the newly made weapon. With success seeming clear with the rifle a testing phase was set with twenty AKRS-72 rifles produced and used in live fire exercises and testing with civilian contractors. 
with 17 out of 20 test subjects showing positive feedback it was given the greenlight to be produced and entered the market on March 9th, 2473. Even with the rifle still new and fresh, the next variant was already being prepared as Nashka still felt like something was missing, a year later she would produce what is now known as the face of AKRS brand rifles, the AKRS-74. 
==AKRS-74 MODELS==
===AKRS-74 Early Rifle designs===
The first design of the AKRS-74 was nicknamed "Bulky" as its design was much bulkier than the '72. It also carried less ammo in exchange for a slower rate of fire, but a stronger penetration rate and damage output. "Bulky" was the first of the designs to be finished.
The second known prototype was codenamed "Bullpup" was the second finished model and the farthest going one out of the early designs to where a single one was made. The weapon did see successful testing but was denied becoming the next model as the company though there were enough bullpup rifles and that it didn't fit the AKRS ascetic.
The third known model was named "Joker" as it was a joke model that was never meant to become real, but Nashka had made in order to keep herself entertained and to take a break from trying to make the next AKRS. It was clear the gun had no realistic functioning or purpose to its design and was done purely out of entertainment purposes.
