The AK-47 is an assault rifle featured in Critical Strike Portable and Critical Ops.

Description

The AK-47 is a high damage assault rifle, with high power and wide range. Boasting large amounts of penetration, the AK-47 is perfect for taking down targets in just a couple of shots and when used correctly, it can one shot kill targets at far distances. It is also one of the weapons able to penetrate through thin walls, making the weapon all but convenient should you wish to wallbang through certain objects. This assault rifle is also one of the most popular weapons in both Critical Ops and Critical Strike Portable.

Its severe disadvantage is its increased bullet spread upon continuous fire, thus leading some players to purchase more accurate weapons like the AUG instead with better recoil control, but for a higher cost. It is also quite loud when firing, a flaw which enemies may decide to exploit to locate the player.

All in all, when used effectively, the AK-47 can prove to be a powerful and deadly weapon.

Strategies

Its high recoil and inaccuracy make the AK-47 a slightly difficult weapon to use, but once used properly, it can deal high damage. The key is to simply burst (firing about 3-6 shots at a time) or tap-shoot at far distance players which can guarantee critical damage or even a kill. Spray only when at close or mid range.

Aim consistently at the head, because that is where it deals the most damage, and only requires one or two shots to kill an enemy. Aiming at the legs will take the longest time to kill, risking higher chances of death.

Counter-Strategies

As the AK-47 delivers more damage output per bullet as an assault rifle, and with its somewhat wide range, it can be be a force to be reckoned with. The best way to counter this weapon is to fight at long ranges to avoid its heavy fire, although heed caution as the AK-47 can damage players at that distance with tap or burst-fire.

Aim for the head, as the time to kill the enemy is reduced and the chances of getting hit decrease.
