AK-47

The AK-47, also known as AR1 (Assault Rifle 1), is a cut mirrored weapon from Half-Life 2. It can be found in the playable Half-Life 2 Beta.^[1] It was to be used by the Combine and Conscripts.

Overview

In the playable Half-Life 2 Beta, not all the weapons can be spawned with impulse 101. To spawn the AK-47, give weapon_ar1 must be entered. It can fire in semi-auto mode, three or five-burst mode, or full-auto mode. It uses medium rounds, the same rounds used by the OICW and MP7.

Trivia

• An early texture for the AK-47 can be found in the playable Half-Life 2 Beta files, in the folder "materials/Models/Weapons/Obsolete/V_ak47".

• In the Half-Life 2 files, several texture files for HUD weapon icons can be found, most of which still contain the icons for almost all of the cut weapons. The AK-47 is among them.

• The AK-47 is featured in Counter-Strike: Source and Left 4 Dead 2 and most contentiously Hunt Down The Freeman.

• The bolt and the fire mode selector appear on the left side, while they actually are on the right in real life.

• The weapon is actually modeled after the improved AKM, not the original AK-47. This is a common mistake in video games.

• The AK-47 is a rather cheap and robust weapon, with its derivatives existing all around the world, so it would have been a common weapon for the Resistance.

• In leaked Valve's repo, in "HL2" folders, there were founded .smd files for animations to AR1, this leads to point where Valve actually animated AR1 but never putted these animations to actual model. All animations were compiled by user (and Youtuber) "The One Epicplayer" on VCC Discord server.

• Similar to most guns in Half-Life Gordon doesn't actually use the charging handle when doing a empty reload.
