Assault Rifle AK47
The Assault Rifle, commonly referred to as the AK, is a high-tier automatic rifle in Rust that uses rifle ammunition. It is one of the most powerful firearms available and excels in medium to long-range combat when used effectively.
The weapon delivers high damage per shot and strong performance at range, but this power comes at the cost of significant recoil. Controlling the Assault Rifle requires practice and skill, as inaccurate sprays can quickly result in missed shots and lost engagements. Players who master its recoil pattern gain a major advantage in PvP.
Compared to other automatic weapons, the AK stands out for its versatility. It can dominate close-range fights with controlled bursts and remains highly effective at longer distances, making it suitable for a wide variety of combat scenarios. However, its difficulty to control makes it less forgiving than other rifles.
The Assault Rifle is widely regarded as one of the strongest weapons in the game, but it rewards precision and experience rather than aggressive, unrefined spraying. In the hands of skilled players, it remains a defining weapon in late-game PvP.
