AK-47 or M4A1?

Xerlyth · April 2012

Which should I get? I'm think I'm going with AK but I'm not sure how to even use it because of its **** recoil.

aR_zona · April 2012

The AK doesn't have "****" recoil! Its recoil can be a bit of a struggle to get used to, but once you learn how to control it, the AK becomes a great weapon to use.

Xerlyth · April 2012

Yeah it does >.>

But what I mean I don't know how to properly shoot it, at med-long range bursting doesn't seem to work, are you supposed to single shot? Or do you learn the spray pattern and just spray?

The m4 is well rounded and easier to control than the Ak47.

But if both are mastered, I think the ak has more of a potential. With it's high damage rate and accuracy (first few bursts)

You should read up on malte's Ak guide (dude from vVv Lifeline)

Personally I would buy the ak but if you're just starting out get the m4

Test them out in the shooting range or in elimination maps which let's you pick of weapons of varying choices.

At medium range, I'd say burst shot or spray with an AK.

At long range, I recommend spacing your shots out so that recoil doesn't affect you much until after about 4 or 5 shots.

I suggest you test both of these weapons out in Alaska or another EM map that has them both.

get both

Xerlyth · April 2012

Getting both would be a huge waste.

h8z8 · April 2012

why? I still say get both.

1nsomniac · April 2012

same here. I but if you must only get one get the m4 imo. It's more balanced and versatile.

Xerlyth · April 2012

I ended up getting AK, I love it I'm getting tons of kills.

M4 ftw, less recoil but One hit HS for all ranges pretty much the same as AK cuz they are both gonna be 3 shot kills anyway

NektarPrim3 · April 2012

The M4 has less recoil, better spray, and less damage. The AK does more damage and has worse spray.

ChaosPedooo · April 2012

- M4 is imo one of the best weapons from gp item shop. So i would choose m4 cause its a well balcend weapon. It have average dmg low recoil and a normal T spray pattern .

Bawbs · April 2012

Get both. The M4 for casual use and the AK for whenever you need to rush. I'd say get the AK first because after you get used to it all the weapons feel easy to use.

This is 100% false. The AK has the best spray pattern of any rifle in the game, and is only beaten out by a couple SMGs.

That's an opinion.

Exactly. They're completely different animals.

Chee5eburgeR · April 2012

Ak is much easier to use than a m4 and will get u a ****load of kills when spraying(..if u can control the spray).So go with the ak.

I agree with this statement something crazy.

In tight situations, AK reigns supreme!
In distanced situations, if you can keep your bursts controlled and on-target you can deal some serious damage to enemies (but it's not better then the M4A1 in that regard...)

Curiquinge · April 2012

Get the M4A1, best rifle in game, also the most popular one in the competitive scene. Regards.

much easier to use than a M4......I don't think so.

JAK477 · April 2012

Ak47 all the way

you have to get AK47 dude its wayy for fun to use and you can practice on that shooting range CF has with your problems and also follow maltes guide

been useing ak47 for 10 months now and it feels so sweet to use it

Depends on the player.

Absolutely correct, for Malte and a few other players the AK is the easy gun to control, for the average player (90% of the CF population), the M4 is the easy gun to control. Regards.

h8z8 · April 2012

AK's recoil is big in that it deviates from the center of the crosshair by quite a bit, but that recoil is very consistent and easy to control.

More dramatic recoil, but easier to control then the m4. I still vote for the m4 though, if you're only going to get one or the other.

nvm... you got the AK.

Mathaholic · April 2012

AK is a great weapon for fighting against rocket launchers (like m12s) in medium/short ranges, the recoil is hard to handle as a rookie, but it is marvelous once you get used to it.

Long ranges tap clicks at ease and you'll be able to make snipers call you "names", once you can master tap for long ranges and spray for medium-short, you're going to give em hell (I mean it!).

M4 is great at long ranges mainly, the tap is easier to handle since the recoil is low. I'm not saying its terrible at medium/short, in fact, its great because the RoF is good at sprayer (not as powerful as the AK though).
