    Do a quick-reload. The second the ammo count goes up, quickly press 2, then 1 again. Your weapon will be ready immediately.

    I don't know if this has been said already, but I really hope this one has a true AK. It really bothered me in BC2 that all we had was the Krinkov and whatever the AEK was supposed to be. All I want is a real AK, with a wood stock and a polished steel bolt.

    The AEK-971 is, uh, the AEK-971

    It's far more advanced than the AK-47, and both it and the AN-94 are AK derivatives.

    I love the design of the AN-94 Abakan, just looks dead sexy.

    Nope.

    AN-94 is an entirely new design. AEK-917 is also a new design. The only relation it has to the AK family is the BARS that the AK-107 and AK-108 employ. Those AKs are also not pure AKs, they are Alexandrov Kalashnikovs, meaning two designers contributed to their design.

    It was logical for Bad Company to pick the AEK because the game takes place in the near future, is completely fictional, and the Russians have been looking to replace the AK-74 for a long time now. The AN-94 is too expensive, so the AEK is a good middle alternative. It's also worth noting that the Russian troops you encounter in BC2 may be considered Special Forces at any rate.

    Battlefield 3 will likely have an AKM or AK-74 because it is more grounded in current events than Bad Company is. The very presence of the M4 over the M416 or XM8 an the M240 over the classic M249 tells us that much.

    Exam I knew what it was, I more meant that its kind of a crap weapon in the game, and I was disapointed in the lack of a weapon that would have classic AK stat features. And what do you mean by more advanced? I know the AN-94 uses a gas bleed-off principle for burst fire, which allows it to fire a three shot burst (2 in the game I think) at like 3000 RPM. But I thought the AEK was a 70's design that was rejected as a replacement for the classic piston operation of a true Kalashnikov? I have seen the design before but I had thought it was a failure kind of like the AR-18?

    I'll be pretty happy if they bring the AKM in. Precision is for suckers. Spray and pray, baby!

    AN shoots two-round burst in real life, too.

    The AEK (along with the Abakan) was actually designed in the 80's to replace the the aging AK. The Abakan won however, uses is limited though in the Russian Army and various law enforcement branches.

    We really shouldn't see the M416 at all seeing as how only Delta Force has adopted it last time I checked, it's not even barely integrated into the U.S. military branches. We just started integrating the SCAR back in 2009. If I also recall correctly isn't the Marine Corps designating the 416 as the M27 when it gets into service?

    The 5.56 SCAR won't be used at all in the US military from what I've heard. SOCOM units will be adopting the 7.62 NATO version of the SCAR but that's it.

    The US probably won't change from the AR-15 style of firearm until a conflict proves they are ineffective.
