I'm sure there is hundreds of guns better than the AK-47 500 years from now.

See how they bait their trap?

1.The Ak is highly overrated, especially by 12 year old gamers, like yourself.

2.The gun might have stayed around 70 years, but it isn't going to stay around 500+ years.

3.There are no other real guns on Halo, they are all original, also it would be essentially the same as the AR.

The AK is an extremely reliable firearm that has withstood the test of time time. It's as popular as it was sixty years ago. I think it should be in Halo Reach. I know it would be antiquated by Halo's timeline, but who really cares? The AK-47 would be an excellent midrange weapon with a lot of firepower.

EDIT: If you've never shot a gun or AK for that matter, please don't act like you're a reliable source or something. This would be an awesome addition to halo that shouldn't be held back by firearm virgins. Educate yourself and get some real life experience before you dismiss the AK as 'unreliable' or 'highly inaccurate'.

LOL, I may have not shot a firearm ever but I play MW2 which automaticly makes me a gun expert. Ak47 sucks.

I just read more of these posts, and wow the only reason it used is because of how cheap and easy they are to make, there are much more reliable modern guns than this, they are just more expensive, look that America's army, one of the best funded militaries on the planet, they never use Ak-47s.

PS. The amount of stupidity in this topic makes me sick, just because you play a shooting game or even shoot a gun in real life doesn't make you a gun expert, you have to actually know the history as well has been around a huge variety of weapons.

This. AK-47s are reliable, but the only reason they're so popular is because Sooooooooooooo many were made and they are very cheap.

but they are reliable and have stood the test of time. A well maintained AK probably would last a few centuries. And modern AK47s made with better materials even more so. Think about it. AKs aren't going away any time soon.

I'm not saying make the AK a main gun. Maybe just have a couple lying around, weren't the humans desperate by this time in the war?

Even if they were the most reliable gun in every way today, they would still be a piece of junk 500 years from now. Compare the weapons from 1500 to ones now.

  • 11.14.2009 4:20 PM PDT

Oh my -blam!- god I can't -blam!- believe the stupidity of some people. Please just stop posting on this thread and let it fade away with all the other useless garbage.

  • 11.14.2009 4:20 PM PDT

I wish I was still legendary.

I don't think it even EXISTS in Halo's timeline, and if it did the more efficient future weapons would be much more useful. Besides, a 47 in that game would be hundreds of years old, they'd be up to at least an AK-70 by then or something stupid like that if they existed.

Yes, they are a reliable, cheap gun - nowadays. An AR in Halo, if it were real and shot in-game to the capabilities it has in the books and other canon, would be even more so.

  • 11.14.2009 4:22 PM PDT

The 47 in Ak-47 means the year it was invented as in 1947. So Ak-70 would mean it was invented in 1970, and there is an Ak-74, but it would still be a piece of in 500 years. Saying there should be an Ak-47 in Halo reach is like saying there should be a Blunderbuss in Cod:MW2.

  • 11.14.2009 4:26 PM PDT

*sigh* stupid troll...

My original point still stands though. If you don't see why an AK-47 doesn't fit in the Halo universe, then maannn...

Is that how the numbers work? Sorry, I've never actually researched an AK.

Still, if they even exist in Halo canon they would essentially be an unneeded AR clone at this point in time.

No. Just no. I thought you stopped making these threads. Sure, The AK has lasted 60 years but that doesn't mean it will last 500! This is one of the dumbest threads I've seen.

And I've fired my fair share of Military weapons. I was in the Army. I've fired an SKS, an M16 A2 and A3, an M203 Grenade Launcher, An M249 Squad Automatic Weapon, and M240Bravo and an AT-4 Rocket Launcher, I've also thrown a few fragmentation grenades. And I couldn't see ANY of those weapons being used by an advanced Military force in 500 years.

I'm so tired of these threads, but I guess the mods can't close a thread just for having a dumb idea...

You're obviously not keeping up with times. This is 500 years in. They'll have AK-77s

well in spirits of onyx the rebels use a weapon similar to the AK it did not seem to do well when shooting blue teams speeding warthog

Wow, cause that's what I said...

...Love, love is a blind man's game, you have to look around to know where you are...

Lemme give a little something to think about:

It is better to be silent, and be assumed stupid, than speaking and be known to be stupid.

In a game with gauss hogs, sticky grenades, and covenant weaponry, and lasers... you think they'll add an AK-47?

Who is this retard?
The AK-47 is a big pile of s**t!
you know how f***ing unreliable they are in real combat?
No, because you obviously have no actual f***ing experience with guns.

AK's fall to pieces like the s**t they are.
That's why most terrorists use them. They're f***ing cheap. Both financially and physically.


So the AK-47 is crap? Thats why its used so much and they keep improving its design more and more right?
