AK-47

Summary
The AK-47 (short for Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947) could be considered a more speedy version of the M1A1 Thompson. Having virtually the same DPS and accuracy, this weapon is also great at tearing down hordes, but similar to the Thompson and other automatic weapons, it chews through ammo quickly. Aim for headshots, try to hit your shots, and you'll be fine. Try to keep in mind that if all those soldiers used this weapon against intelligent beings, using it against braindead corpses is probably one of your best bets.

Background Story
This rifle could be considered a relic of the first generation of the SANI outbreak. It was a favorite of survivors when it was being widely used in 2009, and then went out of service for a few years due to unknown reasons. It has recently been put back into production. It was a classic weapon before the outbreak, and realizing this, manufacturers decided to take advantage of its fame and began to create it again.

Tips

 * The AK-47 has a high rate of fire with low damage. With this in mind you should try to aim for as many head shots if as possible.
 * Like the Thompson, Skorpion, M93R, and M16A1, this weapon quickly runs out of ammo if you spam it carelessly.
 * If you must engage at long range, it is best to tap fire.
 * There isn't a whole lot of difference between this weapon and the Thompson, other than the AK-47 having somewhat better performance at medium ranges and slightly less damage output at close ranges.
 * Chews through Brutes as long as you can land successive head shots.
 * It's recommended to have a reliable secondary, as you will run out of ammo quickly.
