In Counter-Strike, the standard AK-47 magazine holds 30 rounds.
The AK-47 is the iconic terrorist-side assault rifle in the classic Counter-Strike weapon lineup. Its in-game magazine capacity reflects the familiar 30-round magazine associated with the real-world rifle family, although Counter-Strike balances the weapon through recoil, accuracy, price, and reload characteristics.
The rifle is popular because it can eliminate an opponent with a single headshot, even through some helmets, while offering strong damage at long range. Its high damage is balanced by a distinctive recoil pattern that players must learn to control.
The magazine size is easy to confuse with other rifles. The M4A4 also carries 30 rounds in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Counter-Strike 2, while the M4A1-S uses a 20-round magazine in those games. Magazine capacity is separate from reserve ammunition, which depends on the game and weapon rules.
