The AKM assault rifle in reality.
The AKM is a modernized variant of the AK-47 with a wide range of improvements over nearly every part of the AK-47. It was developed in the 1950s by Mikhail Kalashnikov, and adopted as the Soviet service rifle in 1959. It has since become the most prolific of the AK series of rifles, finding its way all around the world and continuing to be used. It is often mistaken or mislabeled as an AK-47.
Battlefield Vietnam
The AKMS, a folding-stock variant of the AKM, makes an appearance in Battlefield Vietnam. It is issued uniquely to the Viet Cong Assault kit. The weapon has decent power and accuracy, however firing fully automatically is not recommended. Firing in 2 round bursts can take out any target from a medium distance. The weapon also has a quick reload time which can prove useful during desperate times. It is a direct equivalent in stats to the AK-47.
