- For this weapon as it appears in Max Payne 2, see Kalashnikov.
- "The AK-47 is a great weapon due to its ease of use and durability. Stat-wise, it's a little heavy. But it's a well-balanced weapon and a great choice to take into any battle."
- ―Social Club description
The AK-47 is an assault rifle in Max Payne 3.
Overview[]
The Kalashnikov makes a return in 3 as the AK-47, this time modeled on the original Soviet design instead of the Chinese Type 56.
