📋 About This Mod
This is simply a replacement weapons.ymt file for KristianD3's AK47/AKM mod that adjusts the operation of the AKM in several ways. I liked the result so I am sharing it for everyone to enjoy with permission from the author.
- []Cyclic rate of fire has been increased: It is much faster but not unrealistically fast. I just timed how long it took to empty a mag after adjusting the settings, did some clickity clack on the calculator, and ended up close to 600 RPM for hip fire and shouldered. The hip fire rate has a different setting that I need to adjust a little more so the two are not exactly the same but it is not a night and day difference.
-
[]Range has been increased bigly: The range adjustment is the most dramatic adjustment and you will be able to hit whoever needs hittin' at IRL effective range.
[]Projectile force has been lowered: But only for the AKM. The other guns still retain the Hollywood knockdown effect that Rockstar gave them. This helps so that the enemies don't just get gradually yeeted into the next county when force is applied at the increased rate of fire. I am starting with a light touch on this adjustment so it can certainly be lowered more in the future.

A replacement weapons.ymt file for KristianD3's AK47/AKM mod in Red Dead Redemption 2, boosting the AKM's fire rate to ~600 RPM, increasing range to real-life effective distances, and reducing projectile force to prevent enemies from being knocked back too hard. Requires the original mod and is a simple file swap.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 782 endorsements and over 36k downloads, so plenty of folks are running it.
- The fire rate bump to ~600 RPM makes the AKM feel punchier without going full bullet hose.
- Range increase is the big win here—you can actually reach out and touch someone at distance.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires KristianD3's AK47/AKM mod as a base, so it's useless without that dependency.
- Hip fire and shouldered rates aren't perfectly matched yet—author notes it's a work in progress.
- Only tweaks the AKM; other guns keep Rockstar's over-the-top knockdown, so it's a niche fix.
For RDR2 players who already run KristianD3's AK47 mod and want a more realistic, combat-effective AKM. If you're after a full weapon overhaul or don't use that specific mod, this isn't for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure the original AK47 mod works in your game before swapping the weapons.ymt file.
- Back up the original weapons.ymt so you can revert if the changes feel off.
- If you're on PC, ensure your game is fully closed before replacing the file to avoid conflicts.
