Yes, but that only means the AK-47 is so good it is still useful in some situations. Not at all what BlairWitch is saying, that the AK-74 was worse and basically a sissy-gun. If given the choice I'd rather have a 74, more useful in most cases.
if you have a pissed off afgahni rebel high as a kite on opium or a somali on their local brew comming after you the 47 is the better bet. complete and immediate stopping power. the splinter and shock effect doesnt occur at all ranges. most soldiers end up getting supplied with ball ammo which in the 5.45-5.56 has an extremely high velocity which is more likely to punch through without doing the necessary lethal damages
