Trivia

 * Drawings of the AK-47 can be found throughout the OpFor-based Single-player and Multiplayer levels on the walls of certain buildings.


 * The reload time and the reloading animation are about half a second off, meaning you actually reload before the magazine is even inserted. Players can utilize this fact to reload slightly faster through Reload Canceling.


 * In Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, if player has an AK-47 equipped with only an ACOG sight and Steady Aim, the AK-47 will have no barrel sway.
 * The AK-47 has a different fire sound in Modern Warfare 2 and different fire rate compared to the one in Call of Duty 4.
 * In real life the AK-47 has heavy recoil and relatively poor accuracy (especially when fired in automatic bursts) compared to other assault rifles as it was not designed for accuracy but for firepower and reliability. The recoil can be ignored if fired on semi-automatic, and the effective range is 400 meters, but it is still substantially less range than the M16.
 * The appearance of the AK-47 in the Russian forces in 2016 is odd, as the Russian military does not use the AK-47, but the AK-74 and the various models, such as the AK-103. Some Spetsnaz forces use the AN-94 and the AK-103.
 * The AK-47 may be still used in 2016 if some small militias can't buy new items on the black market. But they may be supplied newer equipment by Russia or any other countries who "officially" use new AKs.
 * The serial number of AK-47 in Modern Warfare 2 is 122874. It can be seen when holding the gun. This may be the birthdate of a developer born on December 28, 1974.
 * The AK-47 in Modern Warfare 2 is maybe a more futuristic modified AK variant but called AK-47 in game to prevent confused players.
 * The AK-47 and M16A4, in game, appear to have the opposite bullet penetration abilities. The AK has incredibly high penetration compared to the M16 which has very little.
 * In Modern Warfare 2, the AK can be seen in every Campaign missions except No Russian and Just Like Old Times.
 * In Modern Warfare 2, the wooden part at the front end is changed into polymer, also, it looks less rounded.
 * On the Military Channel's Top Tens the AK-47 was #1
 * The AK-47 in Modern Warfare 2 has a striking resemblance to the AEK-971, a weapon that competed with the AN-94 to become the next Russian service rifle.
 * In Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer, when walking over an AK-47 with a Grenade Launcher, the pick-up text will say "AK-47 Grenadier" instead of "AK-47 Grenade Launcher".
