Which is the fastest rifle. Is it ak47?

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.
