The AK-47 fires powerful rounds and is the most powerful assault rifle available in the [[GTA III Era]] games. The AK-47, however, has a low rate of fire, and suffers from tremendous recoil and accuracy problems with long range. It is a common sight in the hands of many gangs on the later missions throughout the games. The AK-47 does not appear in GTA Vice City, being replaced by the [[Ruger]]. However its model and texture are still in the game files. | The AK-47 fires powerful rounds and is the most powerful assault rifle available in the [[GTA III Era]] games.

In GTA IV, the AK-47 is referenced in-game as the '''Assault Rifle'''. It can be purchased from the back-alley gun shops for [[Money|$]]3,500 and each additional magazine costs $80. It can also be purchased from [[Little Jacob]] for $2,450 with each additional magazine costing $55. Like almost all other guns, this a 1 headshot kill in single player and in multiplayer, a 2 headshot kill. It is the starting weapon when the weapons are set to assault rifles.

This cannot be fired from a car; however, it can be fired by a passenger in either a helicopter or boat. While the AK-47 is good, the M4 is better. While the AK-47 has better power, the M4 has better accuracy, and its rate of fire is slightly better; the AK-47 is in "poor weapons" range while the M4 is in the "advanced" range. The extra firepower is not a large amount in comparison to the M4 and is not needed much as a single headshot from any weapon will kill any enemy in GTA IV; since the M4 is more accurate, it is better if the player aims for the head. | ||
Strangely, starting with GTA San Andreas, this weapon shares ammunition with the M16 as walking up to one gives the player ammunition for the AK-47. The M16 fires the 5.56x45mm round while the AK47 fires the bigger 7.62x39mm round; despite the inaccuracy it is probably to even out gameplay. In real life, a [[:wp:AK-101|5.56x45mm-compatible AK rifle]] exists; however, it has plastic furniture rather than wooden furniture and is not compatible with [[:wp:STANAG magazine|STANAG magazines]]. | Strangely, starting with GTA San Andreas, this weapon shares ammunition with the M16 as walking up to one gives the player ammunition for the AK-47.
