Overview
In this guide you will learn how to properly use the AK, a beast of a weapon used by many good and bad players.
Introduction
Many people do not know the full power or performance of the AK-47 mianly because they do not know how to use it. In this guide, I will show you what you can and need to do in order to unlock the full potential of this amazing weapon.
Advantage
- Kills helmet wearing opponents with one shot to the.
- High damage.
- Fast reload.
- High first shot accuracy.

Disadvantages
- High recoil
- Loses accuracy when firing multiple rounds
- Low rate of fire for an assault rifle
- Fairly heavy
- One of the loudest rifles
Gameplay
- The best way to be accurate with this weapon is to use short bursts of fire.
- Make use of the first shot whilst standing, which is nearly as accurate as a sniper rifle, and will kill an opponent with a single headshot.
- For medium-long ranges, two-shot bursts are recommended. This is because the first two shots are quite accurate, but the third one kicks up quite a bit.
- At longer ranges, tap-firing at chest level is advised.
Often times, many newcomers make the mistake in firing the AK-47 continuously until the current magazine is depleted. This makes the recoil of the weapon very hard to control and leaves the user vulnerable to enemy counter-attack. To prevent this, practice using the weapon with controlled bursts of fire and try to keep the recoil low.
- At long distances, strafing is essential. When strafing, shoot once for maximum accuracy, and the AK-47’s high damage will do the rest.
- When in medium range with high recoil, if using the small crosshair, aim with the top line for a higher chance to hit. At closer ranges, this will make scoring a headshot extremely easy.
- For very close range combat, feel free to fire full-automatic. However, be sure to aim the crosshair around the torso of the opponent due to the high recoil of the AK-47.
- It is possible to strafe and shoot with this weapon in medium quarters, provided that the gun is aimed at the legs of the target due to the high recoil. However, this should only be used as a last measure.
- While the accuracy of most weapons was increased in Counter-Strike: Source, the AK-47 did not receive this benefit.
