The AK-47 Machine Gun, or simply AK-47, is a Fortitude-based Machine Gun in 7 Days to Die.

Description[ | ]

The AK-47 is an automatic ranged weapon affected by Intellect and the Machine Gunner perk. Similar to other machine guns and rifles, the AK-47 uses 7.62mm Rounds as Ammunition. Previously named the AK-47 Assault Rifle and classified as a rifle, the AK-47 is now considered a machine gun in terms of Perks.

Combat[ | ]

The AK-47 is a short- to medium-ranged automatic firearm. Due to its large magazine and fully automatic fire comparable to the SMG, and damage per shot comparable to the Hunting Rifle and Sniper Rifle, it has the highest damage output potential out of all the conventional firearms. This lends the AK 47 well to being the player's backup gun to defend against surprise threats while scavenging or collecting resources. However, due to the AK-47 having a lower head shot multiplier than other 7.62mm rifles, it is less effective in situations where time-to-kill is not as important as conservation of ammunition, such as in base defense.

There is a 10% chance the AK will inflict a critical hit on a target (CritGunAK47 buff), which reduces the target's health by 150.

Notes[ | ]

An AK-47, like all weapons, can destroy blocks and other structures.
In real life, the AK-47 is chambered in 7.62x39mm ammunition, however, the game strongly implies 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition is being used.
The AK-47 assault rifle is the only rifle in the game that doesn’t have a stock.
