| The legend that lives on, the Kalashnikov, still today stands as on of the greatest AR's ever created. depending on what side of the planet you've been born AK-47 or M16 are almost a synonim for a machine gun. This weapon has been in last decade or so been redisgned and branched out into AKM and AKS advanced versions. Russian designed AR has a very solid range and a very good fire rate. It is almost resistant to malfunctions and it has unmatched durability, but the biggest "virtue" of this AR are its accuracy and power. Versatility is AK's middle name, as it comes with optional bayonet, night sight,extended clip, replaceable stock to a metal fold over, and a tip for firing small caliber grenades.The only true problem with the Ak is a serious lack of accuracy past 300 meters distance, which is due to adjustments made to magnify its accuracy under 300m. REVEREND's TAKE: This was my second choice comming into SOCOM and i used it for a while, so i picked up a good insight in its capabilities. Just like the stats say AK-47 has amazing accuracy, and unlike the stats say it can and will hit targets way past its "limit". It is also interestingly quiet but not enough to keep you out of the enemy's sight for too long. One thing that bothered me about it is its fire rate which is mighty awful. it is just a little above M14, but as it goes with fire rate in this game it can be overcome with some smart shooting. The real capabilities of AK cannot be used in SOCOM II as there are no extensions and upgrades availablefor this gun which makes it little less valuable than it could really be. Bottom line is though straight 10, an amazing weapon for any rank of player. REcomended use: stay away from most of the night maps (excluding Sandstorm) and you'll be damn well off using this masterpiece. |

| AKS-74 if the last incarnation of the legendary AK-47. Most of differences are visible in the visual appearance of the AR. It is slightly longer, with a fold over stock, which gives it portability and AR stance on the go. also the clip has been less curved and it has been changed to plastic from the old metal one. Other than most of the refinements have been made in the performance of the AR. The accuracy of the gun has been sacrificed to increase the fire power, range and fire rate, making it more of a standard AR over the AK-47.This Rifle has also set standard for AKSU-74 submachine gun and RPK-74 the light machine gun, which all came out together in 1974. REVEREND's TAKE: Well you wont believe this but the stats are mostly wrong yet again. While the AKS is supossed to be as silent as AK it is not, it's loudness is somewhere in range of M14. second it is not as inaccurate as the stats say. I would say it stands somewhere on 65-70 margin, which still does not make it AK but it is more accurate than you would think. now this combined with a lot of fire power and almost a SMG fire rate this is one bitchin' gun to use at all times It also combines a decent range but do fiorget about snipe shots. The recoil on this gun is pretty harsh and the only thing you'll get is that you might uncover your position and endanger youself by trying to snipe. What it boils down to is that AKS is a true assault rifle, lot of power speed and decent accuracy. Rcomended use: Well i'd say any urban mission, closed space stuff ( FF, DT, etc.) this is perfect gun. Mostly skip it on large open maps like Guidance or Foxhunt and so. Also it is suitable for any level of players skill. |
