The AK-47 is an early Cold War era assault rifle of Russian origin. It was developed by Mikhail Kalashnikov at the end of World War 2 to equip Soviet forces with a weapon of similar capabilities as the German StG 44.
The AK-47 proved to be so effective and reliable that it was produced in large numbers. AK-47 stands for Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947, Russian for Kalashnikov automatic rifle of 1947.
The AK-47 is a gas operated weapon with a similar layout as the StG 44. It cycles using a long stroke gas piston. Combined with high tolerances and a tapering cartridge this makes it very reliable. The 7.62x39mm round was designed for this weapon. The AK-47 is made out of metal with the handguard and fixed stock made out of wood. The original AK-47 has a milled receiver while the product improved AKM has a stamped receiver.
The AK-47 fires the 7.62x39mm round from a curved 30 round magazine. The 40 round magazines of the RPK can also be used. The AK-47 is a select fire weapon that is capable of semi-automatic fire and automatic fire at 600 rounds per minute. The effective range is about 300 meters. The RPK light machine gun has a longer barrel, resulting in a higher muzzle velocity and longer effective range.
The AK-47 is categorized as an assault rifle in the Rainbow Six universe. The AK-47 usually appears as the Terrorists' standard issue assault rifle.

The AK-47 is a weapon featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow.
Its accuracy after the first round is questionable, but the first shot is reasonably accurate. By single and double tapping hostiles, the recoil penalties can be mitigated. Aim for the chest, and double tap. This gun is superior to most every other gun at medium-to-long ranges.

The AK-47 is a weapon featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas.
Overview[]
The AK-47 is not available by default in both Story Mode or Terrorist Hunt. The AK-47 appears as the standard issue terrorist rifle in-game. The AK-47 is unlocked by picking it up from a dead terrorist in the Story Mode. This won't be hard at all due to it being in the enemy arsenal in the very first mission of the game. The weapon performs extremely well in both modes, due to it being a powerful but inaccurate weapon.
Sights for the weapon are good, but players may prefer an ACOG or 6X Scope. A Laser Sight could be recommended too, since this will slightly increase the accuracy of the weapon. Even though accuracy is slightly above average, the weapon is favored at long ranges. Ammunition for the weapon is very prevalent in both story mode and terrorist hunt, due to it being a prominent terrorist weapon.
The AK-47 is unlocked upon a player reaching the Master Sergeant rank in Multiplayer.
