No. There are AK variants which are chambered for the 5.56 cartridge (such as the AK-101, variants of the Rk. 62/76 and Rk. 95, the Zastava M-21, etc.), but the AK-47 (as well as the AKM, which is often mistakenly referred to as an AK-47) fire the 7.62x39 cartridge.

The ak74 is deffinetaly the better choice better rate of fire and better accuracy. However 1 bullet of the ak47 does more damage than 1 bullet of the ak74. So ak47 is mainly for hitpoints and ak 74 is better for fire rate and accuracy.

Can 308 ammo fit ak47?

From what i no about ak47's, no. You can get an ak that will shot a .223 round though. <><><><><><><> The AK47 is caliber 7.62x39. The .308 is a much longer (about a half inch longer), more powerful cartridge, with a heavier bullet, and is too long to cycle through the AK action.
