North Korea has a domestic-production 5.45mm AK, designated the Type 88. Several versions exist (fixed, side-folding, and underfolding stocks) but the most unusual is the one with a unique top-folding stock made to accommodate a huge helical drum magazine. These are seen only with North Korea special forces and Kim's personal bodyguards, and are clearly valued as propaganda pieces. I am not aware of any footage of one being fired, or of a physical example in Western hands - all we know about them comes from North Korean media. The actual capacity is just a guess, and some serious observers believe that they are not actually functional magazines and exist only for propaganda use.
