Both the Optics and sights allow zeroing up to 400 meters but zero independently of each other.

KAS 74U
The KAS 74U or AKS 74U is the little brother of the AK 74. It has much the same stats, but the AK 74 is superior for many reasons. AKS 74U uses the 5.45x39 rounds like the AK 74 does.
KA 101
Otherwise known as the AK 101, the KA 101 uses 5.56x45 rounds which have high penetration power. Although it uses the same rounds as the M4A1, the M4A1 is considered to be a superior firearm.

KA 74
Otherwise known as the AK 74, the KA 74 fires 5.45x39 rounds that have low air friction but lower damage.

This makes it very effective in close quarters combat and one of the best Assault Rifles in DayZ. You can saw the handle of the LE MAS off, which improves visibility but reduces durability slightly. Sawing off the FAMAS has no other penalties.
M16

About DayZ Weapons
Weapons in DayZ can be split into serveral weapon categories that are as follows: Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Sub Machine Guns, Rifles, Shotguns, Pistols and Projectile Firearms.
DayZ weapons have a lot of stats that impact how a weapon will react to different situations. These stats can be changed slightly or drastically by attaching attachments to your weapons in DayZ.
Rifles are long firearms that are powerful and can hit targets accurately at range. Making them a great choice stealthy players that like to shoot from a distance.
Shotguns are incredible dangerous up close, but lack in effectiveness at medium and especially long distance. Shotguns are best used in urban combat for this reason.
Handguns are compact firearms that can only be shot and handled with one hand. They are less powerful and accurate than rifles, but they are more concealable and portable. They are classified into several categories, including revolvers and pistols. While the cylinder of a revolver rotates in place of a magazine, the magazine of a handgun may hold a significant number of rounds.
