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'.

I've fired the AK-47 multiple times, both on a firing range and in a shoot house. It is innacurate at longer ranges (300+ yards) compared to other assault rifles. It's legendary reliabilty is no longer as legendary, due to the fact that numerous other firearms have the same (or better) level of durability, while adding better ergonomics and accuracy.
On topic:
No. I fail to see how a weapon's modern day popularity makes it viable to have in a game that takes place over 500 years in the future. The AK-47 has no place in futuristic combat, due to it's inefficencies. Also, it's a freakin Halo game. Why would you want an AK-47 in a Halo game? You think that, over the course of 500 years, they wouldn't have been able to come up with something better?
