The standard AK-47 fires the 7.62x39mm cartridge with a muzzle velocity
of 710 metres per second (2,329 ft/s, 1,588 mile/hr). Naturally, it begins
to slow down in air as soon as it leaves the muzzle.
Muzzle energy is 2,010 joules. Projectile weight is normally 7.8 grams.
The AK-47 has a maximum effective range of around 400 metres (1,300 ft).

7.62×39mm
An AK-47 bullet, typically a 7.62x39mm cartridge, can travel up to about 3,000 meters (approximately 3.3 miles) in optimal conditions. However, its effective range for accurate targeting is usually around 300 to 400 meters. Beyond this range, the bullet's accuracy and lethality significantly decrease due to factors like gravity, air resistance, and loss of velocity.
In the 2000-2200 fps range.

The bullet energy from the AK 47 is higher than a round from an M16 or M4. That doesn't mean it is necessarily a better weapon. The AK 47 is very reliable but the M16 is much more accurate.
