mp5. But it depends on the situation, are we talking open field warfare? or urban? Or trench fighting?

But Mp5 would be a real contender, it fires quickly, easy to reload, low-ish recoil, and if this is based on real life, maybe a 4 shot kill at the very most.
It's tight and compact, doesn't weigh much, although it lacks any real range.

The Ak would be another contender, but only over longer distance, it's range would be a key factor here, not to mention it's got a bigger penetration, which means it would have a higher kill:shot ratio.

Last choice would be Minimi. It's just so powerful, if you just mounted it over a wall and sprayed, you'd be able to deal some real damage.

But yeah, it depends on situation...

It always depends on the situation in the war.

The AK-74 is not the same as the 47 - it's firepower is not the same given that the 74 uses 5.56mm or something rather than the usual 7.62mm, which means its less powerful, but the muzzle velocity is higher, and the 74 fires faster and is actually more accurate.

The MP5 is good, I agree, but I wouldn't find its firepower and range too impressive in some situations. For example, places with lots of barricades etc.

I don't know what the exact stopping power is of the '74 but it doesn't live up to the more common '47, since it fires the lighter 5.45mm round.

Edit: damn you STM1993 :P

Take a look at the stats.

Though the two guns are built similarly, they work rather differently.

Spas! You could tear people apart with like six bullets a shot. Spas and nades. Hmm... Killing someone with a knife by throwing it anywhere on their bodies, might help too.

Real war? Two desert eagles and some action hero movement, along with a knife.

Or just a Steyr and a LAW.
