The AK-47 and AKM use the 7.62x39 cartridge.
7.62x39
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.
Cannot give you one simple answer. It will depend on the type of steel, the angle of impact, the distance to the plate, and what type of cartridge the AK47 is firing. They DO make an armor piercing cartridge, and it goes through more armor than a regular ball 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.
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.
click google and then click images and type ak47
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

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.
