Hi everyone, first i apologise for my bad english, i hope youll understand what I intend to ask!
So my question is: In the Pr 0.865 guide i found in the description of insurgent clases 2 classes with the same setup, except the picture of the AK. So im asking is there a difference in the Ak? To me only the one lokked a little bit older than the other one. best regards

The Insurgent #3 carries the AK-74 rifle and
two molotov cocktails
The Insurgent #4 carries the AK-47 rifle and
two molotov cocktails

Quoted from the PR Manual on insurgent kits, they both have different visuals just I don't feel like hosting the two tiny images when you can just check page 14 of the manual.

I to have no clue what the difference is, and would like to know if anyone has infmormation ??:

Differend caliber. I think 47 (7,62x39 mm) is more effective but 74 (5.45 mm) has more accuracy.

a 5.45 is much more effective... the 7,62 will pass trought, the 5.45 will spin into you're body.

and which one is which?

The short one is the 74 and the long one the 47

The main difference with the two rifles is that the Ak-47 fires 7.62 rounds and the Ak-74 fires 5.45 rounds.

Here's some information on the two of them

Kalashnikov AK-47

Modern Firearms - Kalashnikov AK-47 AKM Assault Rifle

Kalashnikov AK-74

Modern Firearms - Kalashnikov AK-74, AKS-74 and AK-74M assault rifles


Information and pictures with different attachments.

yes but in PR terms the 7.62 is much better, more damaging...

correct me if im wrong...

I didn't even notice they were AK47/74 - wow

Thanks for the information though.

ya hes talking PR terms

AK47 - More damage, more recoil, looks more badass.

AK74 - Less damage, but also less recoil.

(this is what I think - havn't played with them yet)

The short one is an AKS-74U, AK-74 is just as big as the original 47.

we also have a AK 101. less recoil, medium damage. expensive weapon.

Fixed. It got removed

Game wise, the 47 has more recoil and higher damage, and the 74 has lower recoil and lower damage. Sights are also a little different.

M.

The 47 is actually superior for the close-range fighting the Insurgent team is supposed to be doing.

The AK-74 has a longer barrel, lighter weight, and smaller round than the AK-47, but has better handling, less recoil, and superior accuracy.

Biggest difference is the year they were made in. 1974 vs 1947.

In terms of appearance the muzzle, barrel, bad-*** magnitude, and magazine are considerably different.

As you can clearly see, the 74', for some reason, has lost the badassness of the 47', but the AK74m < to some extent, AK101, 103, 104, 105, 107, and AEK 971/973 have brought the badassness back, thank god

What does the year have to do with gameplay?

The biggest difference is caliber; the AK-47 does more damage per round with slightly higher recoil, while the AK-74 does less damage with less recoil and, perhaps, more accuracy.

Even then, the accuracy difference seems to be minuscule at reasonable Insurgent ranges - if you know to shoot, you can hit what you need to hit with the AK-47, and you'll need less hits to kill.

All of this is in PR terms, of course.

as a general guide, AK-74 for longer ranges, AK-47 for when you can see the whites of their eyes!!

Well, generally, in my experience, when there is a 27 year difference between guns made by the same people, they generally get more combat effective. He asked what the differences were, and I told him.
