i would rather have AK47 win over M4 in terms of damage per round and M4 win over AK47 in terms of accuracy. so perhaps increase ak47 damage by 1.25 or 1.5, hmm? @I-Gun said in Let's revive the AK! (AK-47 = M4): My suggestion is to do some improvements on AK47, set its recoil to the exactly same level of M4, and have 50 rounds in a single magazine. Pros: Makes much more sense RP-wise. not really. M4 uses 5.56mm while AK47 uses 7.62mm. Ak47 by default holds up to 30 in its magazine however you can attach custom magazines for it to hold more than double the standard amount. So saying that it makes more sense RP-wise is bollocks. The 2 rifles stand out from each other in terms of their accuracy, weigh, ammunition etc. for more in-depth info about key difference between the two rifles you could read this article https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-an-M4-assault-rifle-and-an-AK-47-rifle
