The AK-47 or AK as it is officially known (also known as the Kalashnikov) assault rifle is a selective-fire (semi-automatic and automatic), gas-operated fires 7.62×39 mm high-velocity rounds. It features a 30-round detachable magazine. It is developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov. It is officially known in the Soviet documentation as Avtomat Kalashnikova.
The Operative: No One Lives Forever
Edit
It is the most powerful automatic weapon in the game and is used by most of the East German STASI guards in the chapter Berlin by Night and also by many H.A.R.M. henchmen in the later chapters. It can also be used by the player itself.
The rifle can also use FMJ and incendiary ammunition and can be fitted with a scope that has two levels of zoom.
Due to its rapid fire and relatively high damage, it's a very effective weapon for close quarters fighting. However, because of the tremendous noise of the AK-47, it's less suitable for a stealthy approach.
As mentioned before, the AK-47 can be fitted with a 2x magnification scope, but due to the huge recoil of the weapon the scope is only of use when shooting very large objects, like helicopters, from a long range.
Contract JACKEdit
The rifle is commonly used by Czechoslovakian soldiers.
