I believe it to be a glitch, because I used to use the AK with the medium scope. However, it wouldn't do that 100% of the time. Most of the time (I haven't tried it on CA so I do not know if it was changed) you could fire in fully automatic while in scope and you would not be taken out of the scope or have little (if any) recoil.

When I did slap a scope on the AK, I found it to be a harder weapon to use while running and gunning than I did without it. If you want a good assault rifle that can fit a scope on it and still maintain the features favored by run and gunners, I would say use other rifles, like the STG, M16, or 552. Of course, this is just my personal feelings. Try it out with and without a scope. I just find that if I want to not be a full on rusher and snipe a bit, I will use a different gun, mainly the 552.

It would also help your "sniping" gameplay (when not equipped with a scope) with the AK if you practice hitting your enemy from a distance, as I described. Try flipping it to semi for further targets, it may work for you, too.

As I said before, not many people use the AK, so if you do well in a room, you're bound to get comments on it when in the lobby. Like many rifles, the AK fires the 7.62mm round, so ammo is all over the place. Hopefully this helped, if you need anything else, let me know. I have yet to use a different assault rifle as a terrorist since posting this thread (as well as in the past month or so) and I couldn't be happier.
