Does the AK-47 Need a Nerf?

[The Galactic DUP]

I don't want to be subjective about it, so all I will say is this; if all pro players use the weapon at every given oppurtunity (assuming they always prioritise the meta choice), then that weapon is potentially overpowered.
I'm not advocating a hard nerf to its stats, but at least make it cost the same as an M4/M16.

[Sithis]

Just for the sake of clarity, there is no M16 in CS:GO; instead, the 'service rifle' for CT are two variants of M4 - M4A4 and a silenced M4A1-S (which is also apparently loaded with subsonic rounds and fed throguh an equivalent of those old post-'Nam 20-round box magazines).

Actually your wrong, AK is ment for power, it’s how deadly even in real life can be

Again, just in case, while the real-life AKM (which, by the way, is what the in-game AK47 based off of, not AK47 which is a 1949 model that predated all modern AK-series rifles but wasn't actually mass-produced in its original modification and was very quickly replaced by the new and improved mods) does indeed have a nominally more potent cartridge - 7.62x39mm as opposed to M4's 5.56x45mm, its stopping power isn't terribly higher than that of M4, and both bullets are supposed to have somewhat similar properties when it comes to armor penetration (armor class IV and up body armor is intended to be vaguely effective against both cartridges, but acIII vests aren't effective against either); also, AKM is big (not heavier, by the way - their loaded difference is measely 200 grams), clunky and (in my opinion) unwieldy, making recoil management a significantly bigger pain. Also, realistically speaking, firerate difference also makes sense, since AKM's technical max firerate is 600, whereas M4s, based on modification, range anywhere from 700 to whopping 1100 rounds per minute.

So, yeah, game balance aside, these two guns in the game are relatively close to their real world counterparts, and are at least mostly balanced around each other.

No you missed my point, ak47 is an ak47 no matter who picks it up.
I wasn't saying M4 and ak were the same.

okay, re-think about the skins of guns, I am agree with you point that 'ak47 is an ak47 no matter who picks it up', but it should be add some limited when CT using the AK, something like 1 headshot no 1 kill, because CT is not good at AK , CT used to M4 in their training time

Wait, how exactly do you think it should work..? A bullet is a bullet no matter what. A S.A.S. soldier might have a harder time reloading the AK properly, yeah, but they should have virtually no trouble aiming or compensating the recoil (since it's easy to adapt if you're already trained with at least some weapons of the same class), and damage/penetration/firerate (for f/a) have nothing to do with the operator, just the weapon's mechanism and ammunition itself.

Why? It's an ak no matter who picks it up.
Ct don't have a disadvantage when they pick it up.
I think you're trolling because no one can be this special.

something like GE has better skill than Sliver even they are using the same weapon, CT already has an advantage with the map

[DustIIDust&Ashes2Ashes]

the problem is AK is overused today

Yeah but the whole thing is ak is supposed to be better than the m4 and if you give your enemies one you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and you face the consequence for it.
