The only advantage to the AK-47 is that they were so heavily mass produced that they are cheap to buy, and they don't jam easily.Just think, so many centuries have passed, humanity has gone out into big space and begun to colonize other worlds, and the old AK-47 is still relevant. marvelous! =)
That is because of the loose tolerances of their construction, which makes them less susceptible to jamming.
But, because of the loose tolerances, they are not known for accuracy, so they are very much, spray and pray weapons at any kind of range.
Rated for accurate fire out to 350 m.
Less than half of the effective range of a sharps rifle, that was heavily used in the American civil war. Roughly 140 years ago.
Single shot, breach loader firing paper cartridge ammo, with a range of 914 m.
An M-14, which has been around almost as long as the ak, and is also not heavily prone to jamming, but which has a slower rate of fire, and a smaller capacity magazine would be more accurate.
And have better penetration against body armor, because of the larger rounds that it fires.
Such a weapon in the hands of an android, would be a lethal combination, with an androids ability to instantly master any accurate projectile weapon.
And since they may be going up against armored warbots and people wearing body armor, the more powerful rounds fired by the M-14 could make a huge difference.
Rated for accurate fire out to 800 m.
