AK-47

The AK-47 is a general-purpose assault rifle that is cheap and accessible early into the game. It is a good weapon for beginners.

Overview
The AK-47 has the second highest damage of the Assault Rifle category, but has a terrible stability and a little bit more than average fire rate. It is recommended to burst fire or semi fire to conserve ammo as the AK-47 has a pretty small magazine compared to the other assault rifles.

It's advised to use the AK-47 in close to mid-range engagements when using the stock AK-47 with no attachments. You can add a red dot sight which adds 2 stability to help compensate for the low stability. It's also recommended to add an extended magazine to add more ammo in the AK-47's rather small magazine. Adding these attachments may help aid when in long range engagements.

You may also add FMJ rounds to pack a little bit more damage into the gun. However, the weapon seems to have trouble managing ammo. So you may want to bring an ammo bag, just in case.

Stealth Capabilities
The AK-47 is okay in stealth. But it's moderate detection doesn't make it ideal. It's better to take a P90 or Compact-5 so you won't risk the extra detection.

Summary
In conclusion, the AK-47 is a versatile weapon for people just starting the game, with high damage, and DMR capabilities with added attachments. It's not recommended to use it for a stealth mission. The gun is cheap, but has trouble conserving ammo, so fire in bursts or semi auto fire.
