Whats the difference between the AK-47 and the AK-M?

The stats look the same but there has to be some difference!

AKM is a modernized version of AK47, in real life AK-M perform 12% better than AK-47, but AK-47 has more popularity in fact it were the blueprint that soviet share with it's allegiance in ww2

in game, pretty much same, as revolver also have variants

AK-M perform SLIGHTLY better in my opinion

The AKM is a 7.62mm assault rifle designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov. It is a common modernized variant of the AK-47 rifle developed in the 1940s.

Introduced into service with the Soviet Army in 1959, the AKM is the most ubiquitous variant of the entire AK series of firearms and it has found widespread use with most member states of the former Warsaw Pact and its African and Asian allies as well as being widely exported and produced in many other countries. The production of these rifles was carried out at both the Tula Arms Plant and Izhmash. It was officially replaced in Soviet frontline service by the AK-74 in the late 1970s, but remains in use worldwide.

In the game they are statistically the same, so it's up to your taste.

Yep, in game the only difference is aesthetics. It's exactly the same except for how it looks.

The AK-M in FC5 looks more like a real life AK-74M
(The real life AK-M just looks the same as a regular AK-47).

Here's an image of real life AK-74M

This is impossible. The 47 in AK-47 is the year it was designed (1947) two years after WW2, not during the (Great Patriotic War) as the Russians called the war. The AK-47 first went into production in 1949.
