Despite the cons I mentioned above, once you’ve mastered it, you will
find that this gun is a very useful gun and you won't be bothered about the
recoil. So keep on practicing and the kills will flow.
Recoil control is not as easy as it may seem. Timing and precision are very important, and must be combined with burst fire (as with most guns). When the crosshair expands, try to pull the crosshair down slightly towards the lower body. By doing this, you’ll get a nice, clean shot and can hopefully get off a few more bullets before having to take a moment to allow the crosshair to recover, before your next burst.
In short range combat, you have absolutely no time for hesitation and damn
sharp aiming is required, along with lightning reactions. And what’s more is that the enemy is a just few feet in front of you. Any split-second hesitation may result in death. So how do I approach it? I can’t take my own sweet time to aim, what do I do?
Before you think how, try to answer this question: Is an SMG powerful? (Take
MP5 as an example)
Yes, it is. Now take the AK, is that powerful? Damn right!. So, if you manage to put the crosshair on your foe’s chest, don’t think twice. Just shoot around 4-5 shots to his chest. After the third ro fourth shot, pull the crosshair down to the lower body. This provides control for the harsh recoil. The AK is more powerful than most guns in CS, so in the end it'll come down to your reactions and aiming.
It is recommended that you shoot in 3-5 shots bursts, where possible, to increase accuracy and handle recoil. However, if you're in extreme CQB you should get away with going full auto, if really necessary.
For newbies, medium range combat might be a nightmare for them with the AK-47 because they don’t know the proper usage of AK-47 in this type of situation. Going full auto with the AK-47 from any sort of distance won't get you very far....ooops, out of
bullets, better reload. BANG!!!!!! You’re dead.
The word 'rifle' may indicate to some that you're able to spray away like nobody’s business. What do you think? Of course, you can't....going full auto on AK-47 at medium range will put you into more trouble.
First, assessment of weapon is very important. Check your foe’s weapon to make sure that it is not a sniper or something with a scope. If you come across a sniper, do things fast. Get an aim on him (any body part) and shoot in four bullet bursts. After every burst, find cover. This will eventually wear him down, without giving him the chance to fire at you too much. If you come across a SMG or any other crap, just take more time to aim and maintain your position a little longer. If he fires back, throw a any grenades that may assist you. When he’s blinded/hurt, take advantage of this situation and fire your bursts. He might not grab a shot on you.
If he has a rifle too, use the same tactic, but take more care this time.
I see an enemy over there, he's quite far from here. I'm going to aim. BANG!! You see 3 words below your screen: FREE LOOK MODE. Not again. He’s too far for me to shoot. But how can I win if I go on like this?
As I’ve mentioned earlier, this rifle can be used as a "Sniper without a scope" in long-range combat. So, just let the cross-hair land on your foe’s body and let the AK do the rest. Fire in 2 bullet bursts, and hide after 3 bursts. If you’re sharp enough, the first couple of bursts will be enough to kill him.
If you come across a sniper, NEVER EVER jump straight up and down, jumping might increase your chances of being killed. Whilst in the air, you're almost a sitting duck as he can see where your path will end, and hence where you'll land and where he need's to shoot when you do land. Try to use the stealth approach. Again use a mixture of cover, bursts and good aiming to take him out. You might be able to kill him without letting him see your face, so stealth is very important in this situation. Often, he'll be zoomed in with his gun, so approaching from an area outwith his field of vision is another option.
It is the final round of the CPL and if you win this round, you become the champion; but if you lose, too bad. You bought the AK-47. You stick to your plan. Suddenly, all your teammates were killed and you are the last man standing. It’s a 1 on 4 situation. You see all four of them appear. Panic? Try to retreat? You take out your AK and swing it into action. But you were killed. No! $150,000 gone!! (Far fetched maybe, hehe)
If you want to overcome this situation, it’s easy (well....in theory). Always buy an HE grenade and flashbang to go with your AK-47. The moment you see them, throw your flashbang, once it goes off.....pop out and do as much damage as possible before they 'come round', so to speak. Retreat again, and lob your HE grenade, wait for the blow before doing anything else, hopefully they'll be hurt pretty bad. Immediately after the blast, grab your AK and sweep your bullets from left to right (at your enemies obviously) and vice versa, all the while bursting. You’ll get a great chance to finish them all because they might be in a bit of dismay. Hey! Where’s my $150,000?? (Ok, perhaps it'll never happen...or your enemies may be spread out, but who knows?)

Because it was made in Russia(real Kalishnikov ofcorse)
p.s. Russian weapon is the best, its f***in good, not like this mp5 for example!!!
18:38 31/12/2001
As for my personal preferences, I usually stick with the mp5 cause its simply more well suited for any situation. But since I havent mastered the ak yet, I wont say which gun is better. The ak takes a real master to control the recoil, and most of the tips covered in this guide come with second nature. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

same with any range, if u play against a REAL GOOD PLAYER u don't have time to aim like you say, you will die from FIRST shot if u do how this guide says.. and it doesn't say anything about strafing while shooting with ak so it is 1000000x harder for the enemy to hit you.
And btw even a submachine gun can kill you with hs from far away if the guy knows how to shoot!
plz these guides are not necessary! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Xrede is right..
If you are up against a good sniper.. You havent got time to aim.. If you have an idea of where he is, Then shot trough the box or flash him (if he is close enough). Otherwise your chances of survival is very small... gg. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

1. Headshot from AK47 in very few times may remove less than 100% of health? Something like 95-99, but it is no fatal, yes?
2. Short Range Combat. You writed: "I can’t take my own sweet time to aim". This is bad hint. You _need_ to lern to aim your AK on to enemy head. Very quick aim. Especially if you have 12% health, but him - 100%. You see? Than you writed "Just shoot around 4-5 shots to his chest. After the third ro fourth shot, pull the crosshair down to the lower body". This is may be good when you are shooting into 2 or 3 enemies that are standing near each other (so you have a chance to kill them all). But very weak chance, at last. I practice that only for medium-skilled guys. Buy high-skilled guy will headshot you very quickly, if you try to aim him into chest. Ok, may be you hit him with 1 or 2 bullets, but than you will get headshot and die :-(
Than you writed "It is recommended that you shoot in 3-5 shots bursts, where possible, to increase accuracy and handle recoil. However, if you're in extreme CQB you should get away with going full auto, if really necessary". Ok. But in shot-range at first you are strongly need headshot with 1 bullet. And only if you missed, than get into full auto and move the crossheir of AK47 on to enemy legs...

btw... there is one more tips... for all long,short and medium range... if you are to lazy to fire semi rounds.,... you can aim the crosshair at the enemy's feet and fire until the crosshair moves up and hits the enemy, and that maybe a way to score a headshot.
another thing.. if you have really very strong fingers, you can click the mouse button like hell, but only works for medium and short range. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

jump from behind box, door, wall, etc and drop to floor crouching. before hitting the floor start shooting downwards toward the chest. on touchdown ^_^ let the recoil kick up towards the head. if not dead before then = headshot. 1337! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

When you dont want to be a stupid terrorist the M4 becomes a powerful tool. I get at least 50% of my kills with it. I also occasionally walk around to find AKs.
One more thing, the M4 has better burst accuracy, can be silenced to some extent, and can shoot faster!!!!!
What about the American guns? Wooooooooo! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

For long range sniping, bursts are good but unfortunately you are left with a little amount of time where you arent shooting and are just waiting for the rifle to stabilize again. To avoid this, i simply use the quick-tap method with strafe-tap. Basically, you strafe left, and as you are decellerating from your strafe tap, you fire one or two bullets but INDIVIDUALLY. This way your aim is still primo and you tap strafe to the right, same deal --> while you're slowing down from the tap (which is almost instantaneous... dont wait more than a fifth of a second) tap some more. Advantage over bursting: You are always shooting and strafing, so you aren't very vulnerable. Advantage over crouching: You are mobile and much harder to hit. However a crouching opponent can almost go full auto and still maintain the same accuracy as you. Make a judgment call and decide what you're gonna do.. i usually start flinging myself everywhere and snipe him with my trusty deagle. Takes practice but its worth it. Deagle headshots pwn =Þ

First, short range combat, AK is morepowerful than the M4 and generally kills in 3 clean chest hits through armor, so as long as you take a moment (moment) to aim, you can kill rapidly. And no, SMGs arent powerful, other than the p90 (questionable) all the SMGs are roughly usp/glock power, mp5 being just above glock.
Second, medium range, aim at the throat and two shot burst, its all but guaranteed a headshot if you're not moving, no need to even crouch.
Third, long range, AK is (or was) as accurate as the scout/awp, the first shot hits DEAD ON, if you can get a beat on their general upper body, a two shot burst will often times work like a medium range encounter
the only time you EVER need to aim down is if you're firing auto (bursts arent bursts if they excede 4 shots at a time) and with the AKs power, a series of 3 shot bursts can lead to 10 kills if you can aim. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
