AK74

== Overview ==
The AK47 is an assault rifle developed in the early 1970s by Mikhail Kalashnikov to replace the earlier AKM. Unlike the earlier versions of the Kalashnikov series, it uses a smaller 5.45x39mm cartridge instead of the larger 7.62x39mm. Compared to its older version, it was reported to have better effective range, firing accuracy and reliability.
In game, it's an assault rifle with high damage and moderately high recoil. This weapon is also accessible to newcomers due to its low level requirement (for a discount).
== General Performance ==
The AK74 is an assault rifle with a high base damage and vital hit multiplier. It has stronger recoil when compared to the M4A0U, another accessible Assault category weapon. Although not ideal for long-range engagements, it is still a recommended weapon for both medium and short-range combat.
Due to its recoil, it is advised to adjust for it before and during firing to guarantee an optimal damage output. Unlike its carbine counterpart, this weapon can support 10 more rounds in its (stock) magazine, allowing more room for error.
