"On Akmir we do things old school, get used to it."

- Kaatje Detrick-

The AWC-47 and it derivatives are Helghast copies of the famous AK-47.

Build[]

The AWC-47 is an Akmiri copy of the venerable AK-47 therefore the construction is the same with small deviations from the original firearm. The major difference between the AWC-47 and the AK-47 is the gas cylinder on the barrel, instead of it being slanted it is a straight drop to the barrel. Other notable design modifications include a burst fire select which the original AK-47 did not have.

Ammunition, Attachments, and Variants[]

The AWC-47 fires the same round as its more advanced counterparts the StA-52 and the StA-409. There is a limited amount of attachments for the AWC including and limited to: ACOG scope, red dot sight, reflex sight, thermal sight, 8x magnification scope, AWC-25 and AWC-30 grenade launchers, and a bayonet.
