Strengths
- The AKM has the second highest magazine size out of any Medium class ranged weapon, behind the P90.
- The AKM is able to sustain fire for longer than the comparable FCAR without reloading. However, it has a lower immediate damage output and has a higher reload time.
Weaknesses
- The AKM's damage begins to fall off at moderate distances, and falls off severely at long distances. Additionally, due to bullet dispersion, it becomes more difficult to hit the target consistently.
How to use it
- Firing should always be done while aiming down sights, unless the target is extremely close. Doing so greatly increases the accuracy of the AKM.
Community verdict
The mag buff to 34 is a quiet power-up. Still the most forgiving Medium rifle, and if you can't decide, AKM never lets you down.
