| « | The Avtomat Kalashnikova-47 was developed by the Soviets in the late 1940's. It was standard issue for Warsaw pact countries untill the AKM was developed in 1959. The AK-47 is the most widely used weapon in the world. Weapon Description[1]

The AK-47 is a 7.62 mm assault rifle used by both the EFA and their Nogovan Partisan predecessors in ArmA: Cold War Assault.
Overview[]
The AK-47 is a gas operated, selective fire assault rifle that is chambered to fire the 7.62×39 mm round.
It loads from 30-round curved steel magazines[CfgWp 8], and can attain a fire rate of up to 600 rounds per minute[CfgWp 9][Formula 1] on full auto with a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s.[CfgWp 10]
Formerly the service weapon of the Soviet military, the AK-47 is the outdated predecessor of the AK-74 assault rifle. However, the AK-47 is essentially a carbon copy of the AK-74 in all but name and appearance. This is because its 7.62 mm cartridge possesses the same stopping power as the AK-74's 5.45 mm (as both inflict a base damage of 9) and its recoil is also unchanged from the AK-74.
Variants[]
AK-47 GL[]
The AK-47 GL is a modified variant of the baseline AK-47 rifle that has an underbarrel grenade launcher fitted to it.
Identical to its parent counterpart in every way, the only difference is its underbarrel GP-25 grenade launcher which uses caseless 40 mm grenade rounds. The GP-25 is capable of being loaded with either high-explosive (HE) grenades or flare shells.[CfgWp 19]
AK-47 CZ[]
| « | The Sa 58 Assault Rifle is a Czech weapon based on the popular Avtomat Kalashnikova AK-47 developed by the Soviets in the late 1940's. 93 countries across the globe have adopted this rifle design. The Sa 58 is designed for the destruction of lightly armored mobile enemy equipment and manpower. It is gas-operated and capable of firing in single shots or in bursts. Weapon Description[2]

The AK-47 CZ is a locally manufactured variant of the AK-47.
Aside from being visually altered, it is functionally identical to the AK-47 and can share magazines with the former.[CfgWp 26] There are no other differences with regards to performance or usage to the parent rifle.
Ironsights[]
The ironsights on both the AK-47 and AK-47 CZ sub-variant share the same zeroing setting of 400 metres.[CfgWp 27][CfgWp 28][CfgWp 29][CfgWp 30] This cannot be manually adjusted.

Its bullets have a spill radius of 0.1 metres upon impact.[CfgAm 7][CfgAm 8][CfgAm 9]
Trivia[]
- Cold War Assault's so-called AK-47 CZ is actually based on the real-world "vz. 58" assault rifle, then-designed by Czechoslovakia-based firearms company Česká Zbrojovka Uherský Brod (CZ) in the late 1950s.
- Ironically, the real-world counterpart of the AK-47 CZ, while visually similar in some respects, actually has nothing in common with the AK-47 mechanically aside from being chambered to fire the same 7.62 mm cartridge.[3]
- This is in contrast to its in-game counterpart, which can (unrealistically) share magazines with the AK-47 and even has the same ability to switch to a 3-round burst mode.
