How to Use the AK-47 in Counter-Strike

Tutorial on Using the AK-47 Rifle in Counter Strike 1.6

Dante Scott
Seeing how there are still so many new players jumping into counter-strike these days I thought I would make a series of tutorials for certain weapons. The weapons that get the most use would be the ones that I am going to concentrate on.

Next up on the list is the AK-47, or in the real world the Avtomat Kalashnikova rifle. This rifle shoots a 7.62x39mm round similar in ballistics to a 30 caliber deer rifle round. It is a powerful weapon in real life and in the game too.

So let's drop that down into the counter-strike video game, more specifically the 1.6 version of the game that has been out since May of 1999. In the game the AK-47 gets a 30 round magazine and you can carry 3 of those which give you a total of 90 shots for each game round. If you purchase all it will let you buy. You can only buy the AK-47 if you are on the terrorist side.

Here is the trick for aiming that I learned after playing the game for 10 years. If you set the crosshair for the smallest setting in the game you will have a perfect point to aim at when shooting. The top tip of the top most vertical line is the place where the bullet will go. But hold on there is a trick to that as well. It will go there on the second shot is the trick. So if you place the first shot in a mid range battle to the chest and let the recoil push the shot upwards for the second shot then it will be more likely to be a head shot for a kill. But you will need to stay at under 3 shot bursts even while crouching.

If you are crouched however the shot placement is a little different. First shot is usually true to the crosshairs while crouched. Second shot goes up to the right so pull the gun down to the left to keep it true. 3rd shot is gonna go wherever. Then you need to let off the trigger to stay accurate. Re-adjust from the recoil and burst again. These has changed from the beta versions of counter-strike as you could pull off about 4 shots in them and still be semi accurate. Now with the current version of the game a 3 shot max burst is the sweet spot.

Good luck and happy hunting.Don't forget to check out my other tutorials on gaming by going here.

    crouching will because the recoil does not variate the shot grouping as much, so the 2nd third and fourth shots crouched are closer to the original than if you are not crouched.

    which will give me a better accuracy standing and firing or crouching and firing ??
