Two pistols and nearly 2,000 rounds of ammunition also went missing over the past two years.
The MoD said the lost AK47 Rifle and stolen SA80 Cadet PP Rifles were deactivated and could not be reconverted into lethal weapons.The department added that all laptops, tablet computers and USBs were encrypted to minimise the impact of any losses.
Labour's shadow defence secretary John Healey said: "The first duty of any government is to keep people safe, so ministers have serious questions to answer on how these weapons, electronics and ammunition have gone missing from MoD bases, and who's got them now. "At a time when external threats are rising, ministers must sort out security inside the MoD to ensure UK equipment doesn't fall into the wrong hands."
An MoD spokeswoman said: "We take the security of defence assets very seriously and have robust procedures to deter and prevent losses and thefts. In some cases of reported theft, the property is later recovered. "If any items are reported lost or missing due to suspected criminal activity, we will take the necessary steps to investigate and prosecute."
