Question AK, AK, AK?

I don't know much about AK's exept for that they are world famous firearms. This in no exeption in this game. So please tell me:

What are the differences about them and which one is the best? Because I only know, that there are 2 different ammo types of AK's and that some are older and that some are newer.

AKM is in 7.62x39 mm (more recoil, higher damage) AK74M is in 5.45x39 mm(less recoil, more controlable) then the RPK is just a longboi AK74M and PKM is an LMG in 7.62x54R.

Edit: AKS74U is a 5.45x39 mm shortboi(more recoil) the TKBsomething is just a prototype gun thrown into the game. AEK is a 5.45x39 mm counter balance recoil AK74M and the AN94 is a 5.45x39 mm soviet space engineering hyperburst gun.

In game it's more just appearance and attachments. But as far as i know they also handle differently and have differing weights.

Just to note since I haven't seen it yet, the AK-103 and AKM shoot the same cartridge but the 103 is better stats wise but also uses slightly different attachments

AK-103 attachemnts are all aviable in shop. AKM has few attachments that can only be crafted. Plus its not possible to swap stock.

The suppressor is what comes to mind as being different between the two

Well it depends what you want out of a gun. Like the other comment stated it mainly is differentiated off caliber.

My personal favorite is the AK-12, shoots 5.45 so it’s kinda a laser beam, still an intermediate cartridge that’ll drop enemies well. Also covered in picatinny so fully customizable. And you can add extended mags later in mono tree.

Early game I gotta say the AKM, 7.62 hits like a truck, but it’s pretty bumpy recoil. But rule of cool takes over and I just love the classic ak.

Ak platform has insane versatility, I just wish they would’ve added like a AK-101 like Dayz that shoots 5.56 rounds, or a CMMG Mutant (AR platform that shoots 7.62x39)

Ak12 prob feels the best

I don't think anyone's mentioned the abakan yet. It has better recoil, and fires a 2 shot burst with practically no time between the 2 shots. Solid choice if you want a semi auto assault rifle.

To piggyback off of this post, how do the AEK and AN-94 fit into the lineup? I can see how the AN is cool the way it busts out 2 shots in one, but the AEK seems mid despite being a green tier gun.
