One cartridge is about 20 cents retail. When the military buys in huge quantities, it is less.
About 123 grains.
7.62x39
The bullet used in the 7.62 x 38 CARTRIDGE can be of different weights. The standard bullet loaded for the SKS and AK47 is about 123 grains.
Although there are many variations, most AK47 shoot a ~30 caliber bullet (7.62mm).
The standard AK47 fires a 123 grain bullet at 2,400 feet per second. This produces 1,600 ft lbs of energy.
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.
There is no one answer- it depends on the rifle. They are generally less powerful than a full size battle rifle cartridge. The M16 rifle uses a 5.56mm bullet, the AK47 a 7.62mm bullet, etc.
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.
The AK-47 and AKM use the 7.62x39 cartridge.
it is 300-400 yards. AK74 is 500 yards
the bar because it shoots a 30.6 and an ak47 shoots a 7.62x39 the bar has a bigger bullet the ak47 probbably has better penetration though because it often uses steel core full metal jacket ammo
If by fast you mean rate of fire- thre have been rifles that can fire 3000 shots per minute. But not the AK47. If you mean the speed of the bullet, I have one that shoots at 4500 feet per second. But it is not the AK47. The AK has no great power, speed nor accuracy. It is cheap to make, works in harsh environments, can be used by a poorly trained soldier.
