How Many Bullets Does an AK-47 Hold?
The standard detachable box magazine of an AK-47 holds 30 rounds of 7.62x39mm ammunition. This curved, banana-shaped magazine fits flush into the rifle‘s receiver and allows smooth feeding for reliable functioning.
While 30 rounds is standard, a wide range of other magazine capacities can also be used with the AK-47 platform. Let‘s analyze why 30 is common, how other sizes stack up, and what to consider from a recreational shooter or gamer perspective.
AK-47 Overview and Background
First, to understand magazine choice, it helps to be familiar with AK-47 specs and history…

Given the AK-47‘s widespread military use, high ammunition capacity and reliability were key considerations that led to a standard 30-round magazine.
For soldiers, 30 rounds enables sustaining fire in a combat situation while retaining magazine reliability and weapon handling. It‘s easy to carry several 30-round mags rather than bulkier high-capacity ones too.
In my experience gaming, I‘ve found 30-round AK mags to strike the ideal balance for assault, providing ample suppressive ability without being cumbersome. I can focus on my movement and aim rather than reloading too frequently.
Other Common Capacities
While 30 is standard, the AK-47 is highly versatile when it comes to magazines…

While 30 rounds is time-tested, we could see higher capacity or drum magazines increase in reliability down the road. [Speculation on potential future tweaks.]
