I may not have the AK-47 in my inventory just yet, so my opinion may not matter but after looking at the stats I feel as though I can create to a hopefully logical and easy-to-read comparison between the two.

The Tommy wins when it comes to ammo size in one magazine, topping out at 40 Bullets (including the Drum Mag) as opposed to the AK's 30 in one mag. Plus, its low rate of fire means that you'll conserve bullets without them instantly dissapearing. The Thompson is not a good range or accuracy weapon, as it is mainly meant for close to mid-range fights. Adding the Drum Mag takes away a bit of accuracy, with the ADS rework a few patches ago I feel like this is not a problem. With a large mag count, you won't have to worry about running out of bullets, as you can easily decimate a few zombies who want to trail you and still have some left over for another close encounter.

Now the AK just got a buff, and I found this out literally yesterday. You carry 5 less bullets in one magazine, but now you carry an extra magazine, and the AK wins when it comes to ammo count at 90 bullets (30/2, 30 bullets in three magazines) over the Thompson's 80 (40/1, 40 bullets in two magazines). There was also a damage buff from 28 to 35 (still less than Tommy's 45), a slight ROF Nerf from 650 to 550 RPM; which is still faster than the Tommy's 400 RPM, a minor range and accuracy buff and a slight reload time increase. The AK now fires a bit slower at but can do more damage to zombies with the added bonus of a slight accuracy and range increase. Basically this means that its more friendly at range, which is likely helpful in fighting against bosses or escaping zombies.

80 Close-to-Mid-Range somewhat-acurrate bullets with a a manegable slow ROF for the Thompson, or 90 bullets for the slightly faster and slightly range-and-accuracy-friendly AK-47. The choice is up to you.
