It got over 60 likes, so you gotta make about 30 videos. Keep up the good work!

do you ever come back to this comment and panic about how far you’ve come in a year? ✨ if you read this keep up the awesome content ✌️

[@Bordie3D]

This is one of if not the only gun I absolutely love without any attachments. And I actually prefer its irons over any optic.

[@mayhem9052]

I just love how cheap it is to buy and run this gun effectively

[@Bordie3D]

@@mayhem9052 right! And the bolt feels so...sharp. not physically but just the sound it makes and how it feels to fire

[@shekau9012]

Idk how it is in Insurgency Sandstorm, but I remember the AKS-74u being an absolute beast in the original Insurgency. Didn't need any attachments back then either.

[@Bordie3D]

@@shekau9012 the ass-74u is lovely with no attachments. Idk if it's all in my head but it doesn't hit as hard now

[@DixieSchizo]

@@Bordie3D it's because the amount of bullets to kill is higher pretty much across the board

[@no-legjohnny3691]

"The AK, a weapon so simple a child could use it... Which in some parts of the world they do." Jokes aside, the Soviet equivalent of the M4 is a beautiful example of a weapon that doesn't need any special attachments to do the job well. Also, in my opinion, the Krinkov is possibly one of the best looking of the AK family.

[@Chevalier_knight]

Old comment but I would say the us version of the am would be the m16

[@no-legjohnny3691]

@@Chevalier_knight Eh, I'd argue otherwise. The AKS-74U was a shortened version of the AK with a retractable stock. It's the exact same concept as the M4, although that was done at a far earlier date. That and the M16 is a more akin to a full length rifle.

[@Nathan-Roman]

you're an idiot if you think that an AK variant with an 8 inch barrel is the "equivalent" to an M4 with a 14.5 inch barrel, especially when 5.45 AK variants with 12 something inch barrels exist. That is all before you consider that the two have completely separate design intentions and are used in completely different roles lol

[@no-legjohnny3691]

@@Nathan-Roman Yeah, but what I'm saying is that the Krinkov is a much shorter version of the AK-74 built to be lighter and mainly used at closer ranges and a with a higher rate of fire than their longer counterparts, which is a philosophy that can generally be applied to the M4 in reference to the M16, especially considering the way prototypes were introduced in Vietnam. Sure the AK's barrel is only 2 inches longer than the M4, but the Krinkov is comparably much shorter, and the same can be said about the M16's 20 inch barrel vs the M4's 14.5. And yes, they were designed at different times by different countries to fit different roles, so obviously they're going to be *far* from similar in many aspects, but the overall concept of what it *is* is why I compare the two.

[@sluggak1363]

@@no-legjohnny3691 i hear u but an m4 barrel is 16 inchs or 16.5

[@A7med9870]

I am gonna be honest, this was really interesting to watch since I can't find anyone else doing weapon reviews expact one youtuber but that one sadly don't upload anymore for some reason

[@SickSnipes]

I know exactly who you're talking about and that's why I'm doing these.

[@scar432]

cool, we do need more insurgency content creators, keep it up, looking foward for the next guide

[@therandomdickhead5744]

100% agreed

[@barebonesjones]

@Will Boland insurgency sandstorm...

[@theseoldhomes]

I've been using the AKS for a long time now. If you put on a 4x M150 with laser sight it turns into a long-range sniper with diminished but still viable CQC ability.

[@jorgeo1492]

Akm?

[@michaelborden4388]

The humble start of a great creator.

[@Kurzxclan]

Gotta run it with the aiming grip. This is the ultimate "on the move" weapon IMO. With the A-grip you'll win the majority of your firefights. Absolute unit of a weapon!

[@badger297]

I routinely watch these every day while I'm at work

[@ken-nan0197]

Dude, SUCH an underrated content creator.

[@PeterPlayerOne]

Probably my favorite weapon in the game, both aesthetically and functionally. I learned a little bit about it, thanks!

[@Voidreflect]

5:51 Reflexively pressed the button Y to write gg. XD

[@SickSnipes]

This is too relatable it's not even funny

[@ChiefQueef_]

the AKS or AKM with quick reload grip, extended clip and 2 molotovs is the ultimate spot rusher loadout

[@jorgeo1492]

Great info, great edits

[@nuclearnitra194]

I own an airsoft replica of it in real life, it is very comfortable, maneuverable and esady to use Its my fovorite AK just after the AKMS

[@jesseangeles2475]

You’re so funny! Love your content

[@roadrasher8913]

I likes your videos good sense of humour

[@borgar_pizza_cat]

All the time I thought I played with her correctly... But I haven't seen that drum adds you horizontal recoil and I'm so sorry right now.

[@SlippyJim1]

Bro you are mad under-rated holy sh*t ❤️😂😂

[@LegeFles]

I never felt picking this over the alpha AK, since the alpha has way lower horizontal recoil. Good video though, will probably end up using the gun more. Subbed.

[@SickSnipes]

I actually prefer the alpha too for the same reason.

[@baker90338]

The way it feels like is an insurgent mk18. it has one thing over the mk18. it's got middle eastern status. for context, the aks74u was only able to be obtained via killing a helicopter pilot. consider how hard it is to kill helo's in this game, and get rid of any amr's

[@mayhem9052]

@@baker90338 maybe another reason it’s adviser only, wasn’t Sudan Husain obsessed with the krink? Swear I saw hella pictures of him with various krinks over the year

[@baker90338]

@@mayhem9052 that’s what I’m referring to, if you’re a big man, you have a krink.

[@Death_Trooper-177]

Old comment but I hate that they changed the Alpha AK mags so I can’t pick up AKM mags when I’m low on ammo

[@bonky_in_space2025]

This is my favorite gun in IS its so good

[@Georgy_47]

welcome to the rice field earned a sub

[@rundownthriftstore]

I don’t know why the okp-7 optic is mounted on a rail when it is also specially mounted for AKs

[@ransomdekafenya2584]

Just curious as to whether or not we will ever see another usage page from you. 👀

[@Looaaf]

going through all of these vids before console release :)

[@DasMonke]

I think the drum magazine is definitely worth it on coop.

[@MarkB58]

Hell it's still gettin LIKE a month later!!!!

[@ArchiesWorkshop]

Ak74 feels more accurate as it just has lower rate of fire, so easier to control

[@lambsauce5312]

And actually 2 shots people with armor

[@Someth1n_]

Im curious. If u equip a flashhider n u fire lasers, why u equip the flashhider?

[@natsuccubus]

tracers in cqb can help assist in hip-fire. The flash hider keeps really harsh flash from obstructing aim and also removes the fireball that is really visible at range.

[@rooftoprunner3598]

mad video

[@ethanrowling6070]

Oh but you can use a barrat as a shotty

[@wadewade3790]

I like to use it because it was in Black Ops.

[@adudefrompoland579]

on console u need to put foregrips on everything (apart from bolt actions)

[@ysph]

hard to pick this over the fn p90 now.

[@metalstorm478]

5:18 How does something that increases the weight of your gun doubles your recoil?

[@lambsauce5312]

Unergonomic i guess, + weight hanging off the sides
