The AK103 7.62mm is the most powerful assault-rifle in the game. It has a relatively low rate of fire and a relatively high recoil penalty, combined with relatively high damage. It is most effective at medium range, used in bursts of 2-5 rounds. With its recoil, luck is often a factor for AK. Its a "one size - fits all" weapon, which needs to be learned to use efficiently. In the 4.2 release of Urban Terror the laser sight has been disabled on the AK-103.
Tactics[]
The Ak is best viewed rather as a battle rifle, rather than an assault rifle. Its single shot mode (when walking) is very accurate and deadly over medium distances on long range maps (Riyadh). At close range (Turnpike, Abbey and Dressingroom) the spread from automatic mode is still within tolerance and the high damage per second gives shooter a chance to kill quickly. Typically, if the enemy is equipped with a specialised weapon - chances are AK will usually loose; other way around - AK will typically win.
However the rifle has worse cards at medium range than G36 and other 5.56 rifles. Too small rate of fire in single shot mode and significant spread in automatic mode lead to lower effective damage per second. It may loose first shot advantage against HK G36 on long range, because it lacks scope.
