AKM

AKM (Avtomat Kalashnikova Modernizirovanniy, Russian: Автомат Калашникова Модернизированный, English: Modernize Kalashnikov's Automatic) is a weapon in Counter-Strike Online. This weapon is only purchasable by players who are level 48 and above. However, in Singapore/Malaysia and Indonesia region, this weapon is only purchasable by players who are level 54 or higher.

Overview
The AKM is the improved version of the AK-47. It was first introduced in 1959 and served the Soviet Army until it was replaced by the AK-74. Nowadays, the AKM is still in service with the former Soviet states and many third world countries and is also widely used by the Terrorists. It is one of the most common weapons in the battlefield.

It has 2 variants named AKM Gold Edition and AKM Red Edition. The AKM Gold uses the AKM model except it is gold-plated and has dragon art on it; while the AKM Red is red-plated. However, these weapons share the same performance with the AK-47 and can only be obtained randomly from a Code Box (with AKM Gold) or certain events (with AKM Red), making them limited edition weapons.

Trivia

 * This weapon, used to be an alternate skin for the AK-47 before it was officially released.
 * This weapon, has 40 round box magazine or 75 round drum magazine from the RPK.
 * The texture is actually wrong: the selector switch is still on safe mode, so the gun cannot fire. This mistake also can be found in AKM Gold, AK-47 HQ and AKM Red.
 * The system names of AKM Gold and Red Edition are actually g_ak47 and ak47red. However, the textures show that those weapons are based on AKM, not AK-47.
