Quit the sentimental feeling on the AK-47. Russians need a new more accurate assault rifle so their troops can engage the enemy from greater distance more effectively imo. It would really make a big difference in battle having a more accurate weapon and better optics.
AK-47 spread is quite bad at longer ranges. Sure if you would want to kill an elephant from 400 m maybe it's great but not when you're trying to get a man firing from behind the window from 600 m. But to be honest my only experience with the AK-47 is in game

. AK-47 always manages to drive me nuts in ArmA 2 as I tend to open fire from longer ranges. I could see the bullets hitting everything else but the target.

. Going semi too!
