"Thanks to its low cost, simple design, and rugged quality the AK47 is used by many nations. However, its strong recoil makes it difficult to control."
- Weapon description

AK47 is an assault rifle featured in CrossFire.

Overview

The AK47 is a select-fire, gas-operated 7.62×39mm assault rifle developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov.

The AK47 has high accuracy, high damage dealing, and medium rate of fire. So it makes this weapon is excellent and reliable in any combat situation. AK47 is one of the most popular and efficient guns in the game known for its power, range, and cheap price.

Trivia

There is a Soviet Union symbol which is engraved near the pistol grip of the old model of AK47.
- Meanwhile, there are three skulls engraved on the new model of AK47. It is easily seen on AK47 Silencer.
- Also, there are many weird gibberish that can be found on the new model of AK47.
The old AK47 is one of the few weapons that receives the new animations.
- However, CF China and CF Philippines didn't update the animation for some reasons, instead they use the new animation for a few variants like the tournament variants of AK47 or AK47-Knife variants.
- In CF China (and later CF Vietnam), the old AK47 actually have two HUD models: one for male characters (which is same with AK47-Balance, which has fixed the missing cocking handle on the characters' HUD) and one for female characters (the original one, which missing the cocking handle). This doesn't apply to the Knife and Scope variants as their models have fixed the missing cocking handle.
- After the 2019 Xmas update in CF Vietnam, for some unknown reasons, the old AK47 models have reverted back to the old animation. Making CF Vietnam the third version to uses the old animation for the old AK47 models.
This gun is very popular in many official CrossFire tournaments alongside the M4A1. Most attackers and back-up players choose it due to its firepower and accuracy.
This weapon can be found scattered around the area of many Elimination maps (Alaska, Crossroad, etc).
CF Vietnam is currently the only version that nerfed AK47 with higher spray pattern and slow firing rate. Only a few of these AK47s that still remain with its original stats, including: AK47-Phoenix (temporary version), AK47-Buster (and variants), AK47-Festa 2019, all scoped and tournament variants. AK47 VIPs are also treated with the same, but their stats is still superior than other nerfed variants.
- In CF Japan, AK47 was also got nerfed with higher spray pattern and slow firing rate. After CF Japan was terminated, CF Vietnam now is the only server nerfed this gun.
This gun have a slightly different firing sound in CF Indonesia and CF Philippines (except VVIP variants, which uses normal AK47 sound in CF Philippines while it uses exclusive firing sound in CF Indonesia).
- This firing sound was also used in CF Vietnam and CF West, as it can be seen in some older footages, but it was changed later.
In CF Vietnam, AK47 GP is the only variant that can use in tournament that VTC holds, and players can't use tournament variants which is better. But after AK47-10th Anniversary released, it replaced the GP one. This also happens to other weapons (M4A1, Desert Eagle, AWM).
In CF West, AK47 is now the basic weapon for new players.
Ironically, the AK47's fire selector is set into "safe" position on the gun model, so it shouldn't be able to fire in reality.
