AK-47

The AK-47 is simple assault rifle, inexpensive to manufacture and easy to clean and maintain. Its ruggedness and reliability are legendary. The large gas piston, generous clearances between moving parts, and tapered cartridge case design allow the gun to endure large amounts of foreign matter and fouling without failing to cycle. This reliability comes at the cost of accuracy, as the looser tolerances do not allow the precision and consistency that are required of more accurate firearms. It is chambered for 7.62x39mm rounds and uses 30 round magazines. They can't pierce a Tank.

The rifle was the mainstay of Soviet rifle infantry squads during Great World War II, and served to great effect, thanks to it's rugedness and reliability even in the harshest of environments. After the war it remained in use in the hands of various militia and even a century later, continues to stay in use by the Nod militants. Nod soldiers, particularly Confessor officers, have been seen wielding chaingun variants of the AK-47, even as late as the Third Tiberium War. This seems feasible, as the GAU-3 Eliminator was derived from the Calico Arms M-950, a civilian weapon.
