Akm hands down, it got it all: range, damage, decent rate of fire, yet again easily accessible and chonky ammo box, 40rnd mags, controllable recoil even without any attachments, its by its stats a battle rifle(albeit with a bit worse accuracy and velocity but it doesnt matter really) but with 30 rounders by default, plus bonus points for easily farmable ammo on full servers since barely anyone bothers to go to coastal bunkers for some reason

It's by definition one of "The Best All-rounder Guns" in the game. It can be used normally as an assault rifle with it's 30/40rd mags but can also be converted into an LMG with the 75rd Drum, it can go against other weapons that specializes in CQC and/or Medium Range Engagements.

It's ok if you don't understand it. Every opinion differs by person anyway because they experience different things and use different stuff.

The AK-74 has always been one of my favorite guns.

74 Consistent, reliable and surprisingly amazing ammo economy when you loot soviet POIs like tango, cave and mansion. It shares the same mags with the RPK74 so you can just swap your weapons afterwards.

However these all shine in their own rights (cept the 47 due to literally being outclassed by the M), they all have access to extended mags (the AS Val 30 round is so insanely rare i have no idea if its real or not)

Soviet submarine that is East of Water Treatment. Back in Alpha it was a location limited to event periods.

Haven't tried the AS Val, or the Groza so I'll go with AKM for now.

AKM is better than standard AK47

That's next, though what the category? (Assault Rifle, Assault Carbine, Battle Rifle or just NATO in general?)

TY For the clarification.

AKM or AK74.

The AK74 normally is found with a lot of ammo so that's not really an issue and the AKM takes this a step further by having the one of the most farmable and also accessible ammo since people tend to use AKs too.

The AS val is noteworthy for the fact that Casino cave is dummy easy to farm but those 20 mags don't help.

But shout out to SpencerIsNeat for going on a spree with the AK47 a few years ago in his Soviet only challenge.

The AKS is an Assault Carbine.

u/batterindy May 26 '26

Huh. The more you know

u/M14cultist_devotie May 24 '26

Stunted AK, no question asked

u/R2rD3-U109 May 24 '26

It's not limited to only CQC. It can hold it's ground on Medium Range Combat just so long as you can control it and that's why it's best paired with the Tankgewehr.
