You see, many of you think that this gun is overpowered and should be nerfed. Well, if it is nerfed, then people would complain about the MP5K because it's the next best gun. People are going to complain about the most frequently used gun, that's how it was with the UMP45 and SCAR-H in MW2, both balanced, but just over used.

For those of you who still think it is overpowered, have a look at the stats, And compare the AK74u with other SMG's

It does have 10 more damage than most of the SMG's but what they lack in damage, they make up for with certain qualities such as the rapid rate of fire and more

If it is hard to tell the stats using the spoilers, here is a link with even more exact stats for every single gun, you can compare any two guns side by side.

what makes the ak74u more popular is that its a sub machine gun which is so beastly short range and long range.

something which like another sub machine gun eg Uzi is not (long range)

Problem is not the stats how the gun works.....
It like a AR at close to mid range but works like a SMG , moves fast across the screen Winky Winky
Lower that you would fix the problem

Decrease the movement speed problem solved
Well....that if there a problem , i feel that would dare i say decrease angry.

Do a barrel roll!
the ak74 is just balanced well, it doesnt excel in anything particular, the skorpion beats it in damage, the pm63 beats it in fire rate, the aug beats it in recoil+accuracy. its just well rounded is all, there is never a situation that you cant beat the ak74 with a different gun...

-Its damage is barely reduced by attaching a Supressor
-It has really long range

So it has:
-The fire rate of an SMG
-The power of an Assault Rifle
-The range of a Sniper Rifle
-The Close-Quarters Combat capability of a Shotgun


LOLZ

4 bullets to kill and you're calling it overpowered? i remember other COD games used to take 2-3 bullets to kill

YOU will always find an "overpowered" weapon in COD, why? because people usually use the weapons that have low recoil and not too heavy thats it, then from there comes the 'overused' then from being overused people say it is overpowered, and then from there comes the false statements "is it like an assault rifle" "it is like a shotgun" "it has no recoil" "it only takes 2 bullets to kill" and so on.... so basically what people want is that everybody use different weapon (or what they like)
