Trivia
AK-47 Gold
AK-47 Red
AK-47 HQ
- The AKM in-game is modernized and looks similar to the AK-103.
- 'Avtomat' means assault rifle or automatic rifle.
- The English translation for the AKM, is Kalashnikov Modernized Automatic Rifle.
- 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, AKM Red and AK-74U.
- The system names of AK-47 Gold, AK-47 Red Edition and AK-47 HQ are g_ak47, ak47red and ak47hq. However, the textures show that those weapons are based on AKM, not AK-47.
- When firing the weapon, a bullet model can be seen clearly when the chamber ejects the bullet. But weirdly, when firing the last round the bullet is still attaches in there instead of going out. This also happens to its counterpart, the HK416.
- Before the Free Update patch, this weapon used to have level restriction. The players must achieve the required level (depends on each region) or higher to purchase it.
- For Taiwan/Hong Kong region, this weapon now becomes default after the Free Update.
