I like the AK even though the recoil can make it difficult to hit targets on automatic but because I'm used to the recoil on Counter-Strike, I took the practice of shooting below the chest to allow the recoil to spring higher, possibly hit the head in the process.

It's a good weapon when you understand how to use it and control its recoil, even better to master short controlled bursts for head shots.

In real life, the AK 47 is accurate to about 300-400m when practiced but an AK 74 is superior in range and accuracy due to the lighter caliber and higher velocity, it can hit ranges of about 500-600m much like an AR (but the iron sights are still an annoying part of the AK which requires some practice).
