It fires the 7.62x39mm cartridge developed by the Soviet Union. These bullets are widely available in many different forms, including the 45- or 70-round drums of the RPK, which are compatible with the AK.
A LOT of Soviet weapons fire these rounds, because the Soviets were trying to standardise their ammunition to ease logistics.
Although there are many variations, most AK47 shoot a ~30 caliber bullet (7.62mm).
The ak74 is deffinetaly the better choice better rate of fire and better accuracy. However 1 bullet of the ak47 does more damage than 1 bullet of the ak74. So ak47 is mainly for hitpoints and ak 74 is better for fire rate and accuracy.
