- "Fully automatic with high power. Effective at medium range."
- — Weapon description
The AK-47 is in single player and is the weapon most frequently used by the in-game enemies, such as Ultranationalists and OpFor militants. It is never found with a red dot sight or silencer. It is far superior in terms of firepower and penetration when compared to most other rifles in the game, and it keeps an open field of view for spotting other nearby targets, although it suffers more in terms of recoil.The AK-47's recoil is mostly visual, as the sights re-settle on the target between shots. The AK-47 is most effective at close to medium range. A variant of the AK-47, called the AK-47 Grenadier (a standard AK-47 with an underslung GP-25 grenade launcher), is also relatively common. The AK-47 Grenadier has a max ammo of 308 instead of 300. The AK-47 is one of the only weapons that is more accurate in multiplayer than it is in single player.
The AK-47 is one of the first assault rifles unlocked in multiplayer, being available as soon as Create-a-Class is unlocked. It is a high-damage, slow-firing assault rifle on par with the M16A4 and MP44.
The AK-47 deals 40-30 damage depending on range, killing targets in three-to-four shots. Head shots generally reduce the number of bullets needed to kill by one. Equipping Stopping Power reduces this to two-to-three shots. In this case, head shots only help outside of effective range. The moderate rate of fire and the high damage per bullet gives the AK-47 among the fastest times to kill out of all the fully automatic assault rifles.
The AK-47 has higher recoil than most of the other assault rifles, with a recoil pattern of 60 up, left, and right, and 30 down. Its centerspeed is average, at 1500. The recoil is symmetrical so while the weapon bounces around somewhat while firing recoil tends to go straight up. Reload speed is at 2.5 seconds loaded or 3.25 unloaded, making it somewhat slower than the M4 Carbine or G36C, but not by much.
The AK-47 has the same amount of sway as the M4 Carbine and same sway speed as the G36C. The GP-25 and the ACOG Scope are the two most suitable attachments to use as the Red Dot Sight and Suppressor both limit its effectiveness; equipping either of the latter reduces minimum damage to 20, making it take five shots at range to kill in core and essentially making it a slower-firing M4 Carbine or G36C. This damage reduction also causes the gun to lose its one shot kill ability at range in hardcore. While the ACOG doesn't cause this damage reduction, the increased zoom, ADS time, and recoil hamper much of the AK-47's close range effectiveness, and the increase in idle sway will also somewhat hamper its middle range effectiveness. The AK-47 is perhaps most versatile when used bare, with no attachments, as it leaves the player with a weapon that does not hamper itself or their class selection.
In Hardcore, it kills in one hit against all enemies unless they are using Juggernaut (which can be negated with Stopping Power) or Last Stand, or those shot through cover, but loses this ability with a Suppressor or Red Dot Sight attached. The AK-47 can accept Golden Camouflage once all of the Assault Rifle challenges are completed. This exclusivity is nullified in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, as all weapons can accept Gold Camouflage.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Nintendo DS)
The AK-47 appears as one of the two assault rifles available in the game. It is available on all levels in the game. It is used by almost every enemy. Though the AK-47 bears a similar look to the one in the console versions, it has slightly less damage per round, a higher rate of fire, and much less recoil. It also has slightly different iron sights, which provide a much more open view around it. The iron sights are more above the gun than in other console games, where the sight is dug in the gun. As with all other weapons in game, all recoil is eliminated when aiming down the sights, making it effective at all ranges. This is mostly the only weapon to pick up if loss of ammo.
In multiplayer, the AK-47, like all other weapons, is available by default. It is extremely effective due to its high rate of fire, low recoil, and moderate damage. However, it is still recommended to use it at medium range (just like in the console versions), as it can be countered at long range by the more accurate M16A4 and the more powerful M1014 and MP5 at close ranges.
Call of Duty: Devil's Brigade
|The subject matter of this article was cut from the final version of a Call of Duty game.
The AK-47 can be seen in a screenshot for the cut game Call Of Duty: Devil's Brigade.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
The AK-47 returns in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, albeit heavily modified and aesthetically different to its Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare counterpart. It has a beige polymer furniture and a side bracket scope mount, as well as a collapsible stock and a railed handguard. Shots from the AK-47 sound different than those in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, possibly because of the apparent addition of a muzzle brake. The Ultranationalists and Russian Military still commonly use the AK-47, as do members of the Brazilian Militia. Many of the AKs found in the campaign are mounted with ACOGs, GP-25 Grenade Launchers, or Red Dot Sights; AK-47s with a Holographic Sight can be found in the levels "Exodus," "Of Their Own Accord" and "Wolverines!" An AK-47 with a Under-Barrel Shotgun can be found in the armory in "Loose Ends" and "Wolverines!". The AK-47 appears in almost every campaign mission with the exception of "No Russian", "Just Like Old Times", and "Endgame".
In contrast to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the AK-47 is the last assault rifle and the last overall weapon to be unlocked at level 70.
The AK-47 is a high damage-per-bullet assault rifle, best comparing to the SCAR-H and TAR-21. At any range short of 37 meters, the AK-47 will deal forty damage, taking three hits to kill, or two with headshots. Damage linearly decreases until fifty meters, where the AK-47 will deal thirty damage, taking four hits to kill, or three with headshots. The AK-47's three hit kill range to the body ends at 45 meters, and its two headshot kill range ending slightly before 45 meters. The AK-47 has medium bullet penetration power, and will kill or down enemies without interference in one shot in Hardcore game modes.
When equipped with Stopping Power, the AK-47's damage profile changes. The AK-47 will now deal 56 damage at any range shy of 37 meters, getting two shot kills, and will decrease linearly until fifty meters, dealing 42 damage, netting a three hit kill, or a two hit kill with headshots. The AK-47's two hit kill range with Stopping Power will end at about forty meters. With Stopping Power, the AK-47's damage per bullet becomes very powerful and fairly consistent over range, making the AK-47 solid.
The AK-47's rate of fire is somewhat slow, only firing at 705 RPM. While this fire rate is faster than the SCAR-H and the burst-fire assault rifles, all other assault rifles, including the TAR-21, fire faster. The fire rate isn't bad in the grand scheme, but is unimpressive.
The AK-47 is quite accurate. Its iron sights are very clean and simple, and its recoil profile is quite manageable, kicking equally upwards and to the sides. However, the AK-47 has a heavy amount of visual kick that doesn't represent the AK-47's actual recoil profile, which can deter less experienced players from using it. A trait unique to the AK-47 is that adding any attachment bar the ACOG Scope will multiply the idle sway amount by twenty times, the same effect the Thermal Scope has on idle sway. This is a unique weakness to the AK-47, as all other weapons only have their idle sway multiplied by twenty times while using the Thermal Scope, but in the case of the AK-47, all attachments bar the ACOG will bring this effect. Using no attachments at all will keep the idle sway at its normal amount.
The AK-47's handling traits are quite poor for assault rifles. Its switch speeds are some of the slowest in tier, the aim down sight speed is the assault rifle standard, the AK-47 will limit movement speed to 95% if it is the heaviest weapon equipped, and the hip-fire spread is a moderate size. Each reload is quite slow on the AK-47, taking 1.75 seconds to Reload Cancel the AK-47. All around, the AK-47 is a poor-handling assault rifle.
The AK-47 has a standard thirty round magazine, making the AK-47 have a ninety round starting ammo loadout when the player spawns in without Scavenger Pro.
The AK-47 has the usual set of attachments available to it. The Grenade Launcher is the GP-25 model instead of the M203, and while the grenades themselves are unchanged, the GP-25 can be switched to faster, but will reload slower than the M203. This makes using the GP-25 quickly easier (such as on a Sleight of Hand class), but makes prolonged usage harder (such as with a One Man Army class). The GP-25, like in Call of Duty 4, will add a sight on the right side of the AK-47, which has no functional purpose in-game besides to distinguish what attachment the AK-47 has.
The Shotgun is an unnecessary attachment for the AK-47, which already has plenty of close quarters power.
The optical attachments are available for the AK-47. The Red Dot Sight is somewhat of a poor choice on the AK-47, as the front post is not folded down when aiming, and with the visual kick, serves as a large visual distraction, taking away from the Red Dot Sight's value. The Holographic Sight shares a lot of the Red Dot Sight's characteristics, but is glitched in that it will increase the AK-47's wall penetration power, basically giving the AK-47 FMJ for free. As such, the Holographic Sight should be the only sight in use on the AK-47, if so desired.
The ACOG Scope will not increase the AK-47's idle sway when in use, but combining any attachment with it via Bling will add the idle sway. The ACOG Scope also lowers the AK-47's centerspeed from 1500 to 1100, making recoil quite large and difficult to control, combined with the visual kick and the front post.
The Thermal Scope is statistically indifferent despite the added idle sway, which is a natural side effect of the Thermal Scope. The Thermal Scope removes a lot of definition on the real world when aiming, and will lower the AK-47's centerspeed to 1300, making shot placement, again, difficult.
The Heartbeat Sensor gives the AK-47 portable radar on the side, but is effectively counteracted by Ninja users, which are hard to hear with footsteps. The Heartbeat Sensor shouldn't be relied on, but can be a useful tool in alerting the player to unsuspecting nearby enemies.
The Silencer removes the AK-47's muzzle flash and lowers the AK-47's acoustic signature when firing, but will reduce range. It will reduce the AK-47's maximum damage range by two-thirds, and will halve the AK-47's minimum damage range. As such, the Silencer is a risky attachment to use on the AK-47, having heavy cost in the form of extra idle sway and less range. However, it can work well for some players who put the stealth advantage to use.
FMJ increases the AK-47's ability to shoot through cover. For the most part, players shouldn't be using FMJ on the AK-47 too often, as the Holographic Sight has the same effect while changing the sight picture, reducing the severity of the muzzle flash, and fires less tracer rounds which can visually alert enemies to the player's presence. However, FMJ is a good attachment should players want to use the iron sights and have more wall penetration power. However, the player should never combine the Holographic Sight and FMJ through Bling, as FMJ will have no effect whatsoever with the attachment combination besides fire extra tracer rounds.
Extended Mags increases the AK-47's magazine capacity to 45 rounds instead of thirty. This makes reloads less frequent and allows the player to delay their reloads for longer periods of time. This attachment pairs well with players who naturally waste ammunition.
The AK-47 best compares to the SCAR-H and TAR-21 in terms of gameplay, as all three of them are extremely strong in terms of per shot power. The AK-47 effectively acts as a bridge between its two competitors, sharing some of the SCAR-H's superior accuracy and simple iron sights, while sharing some of the TAR-21's superior fire rate up close and ammo loadout.

Modern Warfare 2: Ghost
The AK-47 is used by the terrorists who took the children at a school in Lisichansk, Ukraine hostage.
Call of Duty: Black Ops
The AK-47 looks very different compared to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and, to a lesser extent, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The rifle has its wooden furniture, stock, and pistol grip, lacks a muzzle brake and has different yet still clean iron sights. The magazine is also less curved and the handguard is plain. It is frequently seen being carried by Viet Cong, NVA, and Soviet soldiers throughout the campaign.
Notable exclusions are "Operation 40" and "The Defector", where it is replaced by the FN FAL, in "Rebirth" and "Redemption", where it is replaced by the AK74u and in "Numbers" where it is replaced with the Kiparis. In the mission "Payback", Alex Mason and Frank Woods use AK-47's to escape the compound and hijack the Mi-24 Hind. In "S.O.G." and "Payback", it is possible to find an AK-47 with a Flamethrower attached. In the mission "Payback", Some of the SOG team and Reznov can be seen wielding their AK-47's in the compound where Kravchenko was at.
The AK-47 is unlocked at level 38, costing the player 2000. The AK-47 is a high-damage, fully-automatic weapon firing at 750 RPM and has almost completely identical stats to the Commando. However, the AK-47 has a longer reload than the Commando along with a slightly slower switch speed as well. The actual recoil patterns of the two guns are also identical, although the AK-47's visual recoil is greater than the Commando's, where the sights kick up before returning to its original position, which hinders long range combat with moving targets. Due to the AK-47's statistical disadvantages compared to the Commando and the severe similarity they bear, the AK-47 is, by definition, an inferior weapon. While the weapon is very well-rounded, the Commando is an overall improvement over the AK-47. The AK-47's only advantages over the Commando are that it's unlocked earlier and that its GP-25 Grenade Launcher bears statistical uniqueness from the M203 the Commando uses.

In Zombies, the AK-47 is unavailable in normal conditions. It can be acquired only with the give all command on PC as well as the "give ak47_zm" command/bind on Apple Mac. This cycles a few weapons for the player while gradually draining all their points. Eventually, the player ends up with an M1911, Default Weapon, Dirty Harry and an AK-47. The weapon has no sounds when it is firing or reloading, and does little damage per shot, only 2.5 times that of the M1911. The AK-47 also cannot be Pack-a-Punched, however, console commands show that the AK-47 was going to be able to be Pack-a-Punched, to which it would gain a Flamethrower attachment.
The AK-47 (with a GP-25) is also seen in the Call of the Dead poster being held by Michael Rooker.

Call of Duty: Black Ops (Nintendo DS)
The AK-47 makes its return in Call of Duty: Black Ops (Nintendo DS). The AK-47 resembles both Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare's and the console version of Call of Duty: Black Ops's own wooden AK-47.
The AK-47 is the most common weapon in the campaign, as it appears in every mission, which means that the ammo would never be a problem. It has the standard 30-rounds magazine, high power and high recoil, low accuracy, and the iron-sights are somewhat difficult to use; adding a scope resolves the problem, and also changes the recoil magnifying it, but only upwards, making it somehow more controllable.
In Zombies, it can be found with or without the scope in the Mystery Boxes for 950 points. It has high recoil, low accuracy and is not very effective against zombies. Although it is better than the weapons in the starting area as far as statistics go, most other full-auto weapons are superior to it statistically.
In multiplayer, it is pre-unlocked for the Insurgency factions, and 150 kills with it will unlock its scoped version. 100 headshots with any enemy weapon will unlock the grenade launcher for the AK-47. It is advised to use the perk "Nerves of Steel" to resolve the recoil.
Find Makarov
The AK-47 is used by two Ultranationalists accompanying Imran Zakhaev.
Find Makarov: Operation Kingfish
The AK-47 is used by the majority of the Russian troops.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
- "The ever-popular AK-47 offers an aggressive attack with high damage and a slower rate of fire for more manageable handling. Unpredictable recoil can cause problems in long-distance engagements, but the weapon shines in mid-range, forward moving combat."
- — Call of Duty: Elite description
The AK-47 returns in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It was first shown with other weapons in the reveal trailer. It also appeared in the E3 Demo and the Survival Mode trailer. It is similar to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 variant and sports similar polymer furniture, albeit in a black finish. It also has a different stock, which bears strong resemblance to the M4A1's stock from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and a different handguard, which has rails on the sides that are covered with rail guards.
The AK-47 is again commonly used by the Ultranationalists and the Russian Military, and is also a common sight in the Africa Militia. The AK-47 can only be found after the plane crash in "Turbulence". The AK-47 is also a starting weapon for Yuri in "Persona Non Grata", equipped with a Red Dot Sight, and in "Back on the Grid", equipped with a Red Dot Sight and a Suppressor. The AK-47 appears in every campaign mission with the exception of "Hunter Killer" and "Mind the Gap".
The AK-47 is unlocked at Level 68 and is a high damage weapon with a relatively low rate of fire. Although the AK-47 is tied for the highest damage of all automatic Assault Rifles, matched only with the CM901. It still requires the same number of bullets to kill at close range; three bullets under normal circumstances, two if one is a headshot.
Since the bullets-to-kill profile of the AK-47 is the same as other weapons of its class, its slower rate of fire makes the weapon less competitive in close ranges since it will take more time to kill. This disadvantage is offset by its range, as the AK-47 has the longest three-shot-kill range of all the fully automatic assault rifles.
This means that the Suppressor is a viable attachment as the three-shot kill range still extends to medium-range engagements even with the range reduction. Despite the long range capabilities, the ACOG Scope is not recommended, as the magnified recoil makes it unsuitable for accurate automatic fire. If a sight is necessary, the Red Dot Sight or Holographic Sight are better choices, although the AK-47's iron sights are by no means a hindrance.
The AK-47 is very similar to the CM901, but ousts it in some regards. While their maximum and minimum damages are the same, their damage drop-offs are dramatically different. The CM901's maximum damage begins to drop at 20 meters and ends at 47.5 meters, while the AK-47's drop-off begins at 31 meters and ends at 45 meters. Despite having a wider bullet spread and slightly slower reload (2.5 seconds, as opposed to the CM901's 2.3 seconds), the AK-47 boasts somewhat more predictable recoil, but the difference is marginal, and is offset by the noticeable higher visual recoil. However, both of the weapon's three-hit-kill distances are around the same (40 meters for the AK-47 and 37 meters for the CM901).
Infinity Ward has released a hotfix that has decreased the AK-47's gun kick. Overall recoil of the weapon remains unchanged however.
Special Ops
The AK-47 is available for both Survival and Mission modes.
Mission Mode
The AK-47 is available as either an alternate or an enemy weapon in almost every Mission Mode challenge, except Firewall, Charges Set, and Hostage Taker, and is also a starting weapon in Milehigh Jack.
Survival Mode
The AK-47 is available in Survival Mode at level 24 and costs $3000.
The AK-47 is also used by heavy troops in earlier waves. The AK-47 is very powerful, especially up close, but moderate to high recoil limits its effectiveness at range. As with all weapons, headshots are recommended to increase the killing speed. The AK-47 can be very effective deep into Survival matches, but only if the player tries to stay in close-quarters combat and goes for headshots. Also, its high damage and moderate fire rate result in a slower ammo consumption than most other rifles and submachine guns, allowing the player to refill ammo less often.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Defiance
The AK-47 appears in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Defiance, and retains most of its qualities from the Call of Duty: Black Ops DS variant.
Once again, the AK-47 proves itself popular with the Russian forces and ammunition is almost never a problem. The AK-47 can be considered the Russian counterpart to the American M4 Carbine, as both have the same attachments in both campaign and multiplayer.
In campaign, the Russians favor this weapon in use against the player and their allies. Russians often go on the offensive with the standard AK-47 or the AK-74. Russians with the scoped AK-47 actually take shots to the players head, killing them instantly or dealing high damage per shot although when the player uses the scoped AK-47, it still deals the same amount of damage as its normal variant. Russians with the AK-47 Grenade launcher never use it as, oddly enough, the grenade launchers are always empty rendering the grenade launcher variant a mere change to how it looks.
The AK-47 is one of the initially unlocked weapons in multiplayer, the same as the M4. When used it also unlocks its scoped counterpart which can be unlocked with 150 kills with the AK-47. The AK-47 grenade launcher also appears ready and loaded as a pop up "Mystery Weapon" on multiplayer maps.
Weapon Attachments
- Scope - Unlocked at 150 kills with standard AK-47
- Grenade Launcher - Found in multiplayer maps as a pop up "Mystery Weapon", if enabled.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II
- "Fully automatic with high power. Effective at medium range."
- — Description
The AK-47 in Call of Duty: Black Ops II is similar to its Call of Duty: Black Ops variant. The gun's appearance has not changed, but it lacks the gun-kick. It is only available in the campaign and Zombies, and is unlocked at the beginning of the campaign. The AK-47 can be used in all of the missions except Strike Force missions. AK-47 is use by the Mujahideen in "Old Wounds" and Strike Force mission "I.E.D.".
The AK-47 is featured in the Zombies map Mob of the Dead, included within the downloadable content pack Uprising. It starts out with a 30-round magazine with a fair amount of reserved ammunition of 240 rounds. Pack-A-Punched, it becomes the Reznov's Revenge. It still retains its 30-round magazine with 270 in reserve, but comes with a massive increase in damage, and is one of the highest damage Assault Rifles in Zombies, even without Double Tap Root Beer.

Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified
The AK-47 reappears in Call of Duty Black Ops: Declassified. It is similar to its Black Ops counterpart, but with less recoil. It is accurate, but generally considered underpowered compared to the Famas and other assault rifles. It is featured in the Assault default class. In campaign, the AK-47 is the standard assault rifle for Russian and Viet Cong forces. It is also used by the cartel forces

Call of Duty Online
The AK-47 returns in Call of Duty Online. While early versions of the game sported a similar look to that of its Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 variant, except with wooden furniture, the final updated version is now on par with the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare variant.

- "Back by popular demand – the AK47 is returning to Call of Duty! This fan-favorite fully automatic Assault Rifle can deliver some great damage at close to medium range. Players will want to be careful and fire the weapon in short bursts to keep the recoil under control. The AK47 base weapon will be unlocked once you receive one of the five variants in a Supply Drop or Advanced Supply Drop."
- — Sledgehammer Games description
The AK-47 returns in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
Some reveal images for the Reckoning DLC featured soldiers wielding AK-47s.
After that, the AK-47 was introduced to Xbox One players on September 1, 2015, and a month later for PC and PlayStation 4 players. To unlock the base weapon, players must first receive a Supply Drop variant. Between February 26th and 29th, 2016, the Unforgiving variant was given to players who played at least one public multiplayer match for free by itself in a Supply Drop.
The AK-47 is a high damage, but low ranged weapon. Up to 10 meters it will take three shots to kill, which is average for Assault Rifles, after which it will take four shots to kill. It is also a one hit kill in Hardcore game modes up to 40 meters.
One interesting downside to the AK-47 is that it has a slower than average aiming time, at 350 milliseconds, compared to the normal Assault Rifle time of 250 milliseconds, which can make it even harder to use in close quarters combat. Another bad handling point on the AK-47 is its recoil. Because of the high numbers and low centerspeed, fully automatic fire is only recommended for close to medium range engagements. If an enemy is at long range, it may be preferable to try and get closer before engaging. Firing in single shots or bursts might work, but the lower centerspeed makes this less effective than on other assault rifles.
There are some attachments that are worth using with this gun: the Quickdraw Grip is a helpful attachment for counteracting the AK-47's slow ADS time. The Foregrip is another useful attachment as it increases the center speed, making the gun more accurate for longer range combat. The Silencer can work to one's benefit if they can use it to get closer to an enemy through stealth, but it's not recommended overall as the AK-12 can kill in four hits up to a fair 30 meters with the Suppressor.

Pointless Dingoo ModsPosted 2010.04.22 9.44 in Computers/Internet/Technology by
Last night I was a bit bored so I sat down and did some pointless hardware mods to my Dingoo.
First, I added a power LED. When the backlight is off, or if you boot it with the B button to go into flashing mode, it's hard to know if the Dingoo is on or off. And in any event, I'm a sucker for LEDs. "Real electronics should glow in the dark."
The easy part was attaching the LED, I used a surface mount blue LED that draws 10mA at 3.6v and stuck it near the start button, then wired it between Vcc and ground. I found a point on the rear of the board where the power is switched so I just ran a bit of 28 gauge wire around from the back to the front. The hard part was getting a hole in the black layer of the front case, without also going through the clear part of the front case. I used a cheap soldering iron to melt some of the plastic then some small precision chisels to cut out the plastic and get the hole to be just about right. Actually it was about 80% luck, I'm usually not this good at modifying the plastic parts.
The other thing I did while I was in there was add a serial port. I'd seen someone else's mod for this, and it looked easy enough. I don't know that it's needed or useful in any way, but hey, it was possible so I did it. Using some more of the 28-gauge wire, I tapped onto the TX / RX pads under the screen, then fed the wires around to the back. In the empty space where the 2nd flash chip would go, I mounted a 4×1 socket with 0.1″ spacing. The two outside pins I soldered right to the board's ground plane for signal ground & stability, then the two inside pins were used for the tx/rx signal.
This time my plastic cutting skillz were back to normal and I made the hole rather too big… but at least it's accessable.
From left to right, the pins are (unused), RX, TX, Ground. I coloured the one on the right silver so I'd know which way was which, and plugged the one on the far left. The crazy thing is I don't know if I even have a computer with a serial port, so I haven't tested this yet. I know I have an FTDI chip in my parts bin so I might have to make a serial->usb adapter before I can test the Dingoo's serial port.
Unfortunately it didn't occur to me to take any pics of the mods while I was doing them… duh.

If you have been looking for a place to get emergency cash, but without all the hassle and worry of a standard loan from a bank, you've come to the right place. At USACashAdvance.com our network of lenders offer payday loans designed for people who need money now. If unexpected expenses are keeping you from maintaining healthy finances, our secure services can help you repair your financial woes as soon as possible.
Defining Quick Cash Loan
Quick cash loans are short-term loans that provide advances on incoming paychecks. They were created with the intent of making emergency funds available to the widest amount of people as possible.
When dealing with USACashAdvance.com's network of lenders, loans can range from $100 to $1,000. Laws regarding the term limit of a loan will vary between states, but these limits tend to range between two weeks to two months. Although cash advance loans tend to have higher interest rates than usual loans, they are faster and don't rely on credit scores to weed out individuals with poor credit. Therefore, almost anyone can benefit from payday loans, regardless of credit score history.
USACashAdvance.com is not an actual cash advance loan lender. We provide a free service that can quickly connect customers with lenders that offer loans that may work for them. To request a loan, you only need to enter your name, zip code, email address, desired funds and several additional items into the request form.
If approved, the next step requires you to deal personally with a lender, rather than USACashAdvance.com. The lender will be responsible for setting terms and fees. You should carefully review the lender's loan offer before accepting the terms. If you choose to accept the terms, you can sign the e-signature form and continue along the simple path to receiving your cash advance loan. Sometimes, you may find that you don't agree with the loan offer presented by the lender. If this is the case, you can decline the loan offer. You are under no obligation.
Our online service is entirely free and works to find potential lenders in our network. Simply fill out and submit our secure online form. If we find a possible lender, you will be presented with the next steps to complete your loan request. If you are presented with a loan offer, you will have the option to review the terms of the loan, which you may approve or decline. We encourage you to always read the terms of your loan thoroughly before accepting them, no matter where you get your loan.
Laws and regulations concerning cash advance loans are not the same in every state. In fact, several states have banned these types of loans altogether. Most states have flexible views on payday loan lenders. Research your state's policies on payday loans to see if you qualify for this financial service.
The following are some of the requirements individuals seeking cash advance loans must meet. Please note that meeting these requirements does not mean that you will be connected to a lender:
- Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
- Be 18 years of age or older
- Have a U.S. bank account
- Be able to provide proof of income
- Have a valid email address and phone number
Those who use USACashAdvance.com will discover that cash advance loans come with a variety of benefits. Here are several advantages of payday loans:
- Quick and convenient process
- Large lender network
- Perfect credit not required
- Cash as fast as the next business day, if approved
- Encryption protection
Escaping Debt
Payday loans grant you access to emergency funds that can help you deal with debts that pile up due to unexpected incidents. For example, a medical emergency could render you too sick to work, but the cost of a doctor could be too much for your current funds. No money, no doctor. No doctor, no work. No work, no money. Unfortunate cycles like this can lock you into a no-win situation.
Turn to cash advance loans when you need to tame your spiraling debt.
It is important to note that payday loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates associated with other types of loans. If you fail to repay your loans, you will find yourself quickly amassing additional debt. Because of this, cash advance loans should stand as a last resort for those in debt, rather than a first choice for those with minor financial problems. USACashAdvance.com is a tool for handling emergency expenses and redirecting your financial situation.
Here are several issues you should consider when dealing with payday loans:
- Be certain that you can pay back any amount of money that you borrow from lenders.
- Spend the funds on urgently needed items, rather than treating the loan as a source of money for new clothes or a television.
- Consider interest rates and plan to pay off the loan as soon as possible.
If you manage to pay your loans in a timely manner, your credit score may benefit from your efforts. With a positive credit score, you may discover that interest rates on items such as mortgages and car loans decrease. However, failing to pay your lenders may rob you of credibility and inflict long-lasting damage on your credit score. Again, only take out loans that you know you will be capable of paying off in the near future.
Payday loans can help you to manage finances. We provide a free service that quickly connects customers with lenders that offer loans that may work for them.
Representative APR Range
USACashAdvance.com is not a lender and does not provide short-term loans but refers consumers to lenders who may provide such loans. For this reason, we are unable to supply you with an exact APR (Annual Percentage Rate) that you will be charged if you are approved for a loan. APRs vary according to the information supplied by you in your loan request and your lender. You will be given the APR, loan fees, and other terms by your lender when you are redirected to your loan agreement in the loan request process. The APR on a cash loan can range from 200% to 2,290% depending on how the APR is calculated (nominal vs. effective), the duration of the loan, loan fees incurred, late payment fees, non-payment fees, loan renewal actions, and other factors. Keep in mind that the APR range is not your finance charge and your finance charge will be disclosed later on, if applicable.

A haunting debut literary noir about a former pastor's search to find a missing woman in the toxic, contradictory underbelly of southern California.
"He was finished with church, with God, with all of it. But to find the girl, he has to go back."
In Mark Haines's former life, he was an evangelical youth pastor, a role model, and a family man—until he abandoned his wife, his daughter, and his beliefs. Now he's marking time between sunny days surfing and dark nights working security at an industrial complex. His isolation is broken when Cindy, a charming twenty-two-year old drifter he sees hitchhiking on the Pacific Coast Highway, hustles him for a breakfast and a place to crash—two cynical kindred spirits.
Then his co-worker is murdered in a robbery gone wrong and Cindy disappears on the same night. Haines knows he should let it go and return to his safe life of solitude. Instead, he's driven to find out where Cindy went, under stranger and stranger circumstances. Soon Mark is chasing leads, each one taking him back into a world where his old life came crashing down—into the seedier side of southern California's drug trade and ultimately into the secrets of an Evangelical megachurch where his past and his future are about to converge. What begins as an investigation becomes a haunting mystery and a psychological journey both for Mark, and for the elusive young stranger he won't let get away.
Set in the early 2000s, The Churchgoer is a gripping noir, a quiet subversion of the genre, and a powerful meditation on belief, morality, and the nature of evil in contemporary life.
Michael Andreasen, author of THE SEABEAST TAKES A LOVER will introduce Patrick Coleman on November 5th
PATRICK COLEMAN graduated from UCI with a BA in English in 2006. His debut novel, The Churchgoer, is a "LitHub Most Anticipated Book of Summer." His debut poetry collection, Fire Season, was written after the birth of his first child by speaking aloud into a digital audio recorder on the long commute between the art museum where he worked and his home in a rural neighborhood that burned in the Witch Creek Fire of 2007. It won the 2015 Berkshire Prize. His other writing has appeared in Hobart, ZYZZYVA, Zócalo Public Square, the Black Warrior Review, and the Utne Reader, among others. Coleman also edited and contributed to The Art of Music, an exhibition catalogue on the relationship between visual arts and music (Yale University Press with the San Diego Museum of Art). He lives in Ramona, California and works at the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination at UC San Diego.

2016 Nissan Maxima | First Drive
* Fantastic interior fit and finish
* Plethora of features
* Competitively priced
* Wears a facade of sportiness
* Tacky 4DSC badges
The Nissan Maxima is no newcomer to the brand's line-up. Currently in its eighth generation, it builds on its cult following that originated in the early Nineties and rivals the likes of the Toyota Avalon and Ford Taurus. With an all-new exterior and a host of technological improvements to accompany, the Maxima is back to claim its righteous place on the throne.
Trading the taut, softly defined creases of the previous generation model for sharper and more pronounced contours, the 2016 Nissan Maxima sports a muscular stance and bears a menacing aura. Following a very familiar design doctrine, the Nissan Maxima appears to be the love child of an Infiniti Q50 and a Nissan Altima – the former of which is clearly responsible for its flamboyance.
Designed spectacularly and exquisitely put together, the interiors strike the right balance between opulence and sportiness. While supple leather and wood trim embellish the cabin, a flat-bottomed steering wheel and low seating position don't allow for the Maxima's sporting pretensions to be forgotten.
Although entertainment, comfort, and convenience features are aplenty, it is the Maxima's dedication to safety that is truly staggering. With six airbags as standard, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Predictive Forward Collision Warning systems in place, the Japanese sedan leaves nothing to be desired. From the segment's first Driver Attention Alert to a banging eleven speaker Bose audio system, it's all present.
Residing under the carefully sculpted hood of the 2016 Maxima is a 3.5 litre V6 engine that directs 300 horsepower and 354 Nm of torque through a CVT transmission to the front wheels. While it isn't a significant bump compared to the previous generation model (291 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque), the eighth generation Maxima's diet regime sees it weigh in at 37 kilograms less.
Borrowing technology from the GT-R, the protagonist of many boy racers' dreams, the Maxima welcomes sodium-filled exhaust valves, a forged crankshaft and anodised pistons. In an attempt to further persuade individuals into accepting its 4DSC (4 Door Sports Car) claim, it even sharpens throttle response, steering feel and the transmission once Sports Mode is engaged.
With ZF Sachs dampers and a reinforced chassis, the Maxima is an extremely capable, comfortable and adequately powered urban cruiser. With technologies such as Active Trace Control, Active Engine Braking and Active Ride Control working harmoniously, it's the E-segment contender that is set to redefine the segment's benchmarks.
Falling well between the price spectrums of its Aichi and Michigan rivals, the 2016 Maxima is a well priced offering that packs in a host of features to accompany its striking exterior. A splendid offering, it surely is, but a 4 Door Sports Car is something it can only aspire to be. And yes, the tacky insignia in the tail lamps only help strengthen my opinion.

Mobile payments research study reveals explosive growth trend
According to a new study, mobile transactions will become more prominent in the future.
The results of a recent study, conducted by Javelin Strategy and Research, has found that mobile payments have increased in popularity and that over the course of the next five years, they are likely to be the payment method that grows the fastest compared to all other types of transactions.
More consumers will turn to mobile devices to make in-store purchases.
While online shopping has gained a lot of attention, researchers who performed the Javelin study discovered that despite the popularity of e-commerce, 93% of the entire U.S. retail dollar volume is made up in brick and mortar retail stores. The study went on to report that it will not be long before mobile payments start to have a profound effect on the retail POS (point-of-sale) market.
Mobile payments are predicted to exceed $5 billion by 2018.
Results of the Javelin study revealed that the POS retail market is developing at an incredible speed. This is due mostly to the ever-increasing popularity of both the mobile payments and e-commerce markets. Consumers of today want a fast and convenient shopping experience and it is believed that digitized transaction methods will allow shoppers to achieve the superior in-store experience they not only crave, but expect.
Although mobile payments have yet to become one of the top payment options among retail shoppers, this is anticipated to change within the next five years. According to the study, by 2018, mobile payments in the U.S. will hit $5.4 billion. That being said, the researchers did also point out that they approximate retail POS purchases on the whole will be worth closer to the $4.2 trillion mark in 2018.
However, despite this much larger overall number, the amount estimated for mobile transactions appears to be nothing short of extraordinary. What's more, the Javelin Strategy and Research study mentioned that, within five years, mobile payments will surpass all other types of payments in terms of having the biggest compound annual growth rate. Thus, in such a rapidly changing environment that is becoming more and more mobile-friendly, a big change in POS retail market trends is highly likely.

Hi everyone! I just finished day two of a five-day training session, and I am exhausted. I was hoping to do some writing or work on my blog, but my brain is just foggy, so I thought I'd host an open thread instead! Later on (or soon) I'll go out and get some junk food to accompany my beer and cold pizza.
So talk amongst yourselves! I will try to give (unprofessional, unguaranteed) advice if anyone wants some. I feel opinionated tonight.

Cheesecake Boys Coloring
Pinup girls from the '40s and '50s had such a hard time keeping their clothes on. A loose nail, a curious pup, or even a brisk wind all seemed to exist for the purpose of disrobing unsuspecting cuties. But one important question has gone unanswered—until now: how did men always manage to dodge these obstacles? Now it's time to even the score! Welcome to the colorful world of the Cheesecake Boys, pinups for a new generation where skin-baring wardrobe malfunctions take an equal opportunity approach. Grab your crayons, markers, or colored pencils because these fellows need your magic touch—all over!

OK, I have to do this. I've been thinking about it for several days but today's Gospel (Luke 1:39-45) made my decision for me. The story is about Mary's visit to Elizabeth. The presence of Jesus in Mary's womb makes John in Elizabeth's womb "jump for joy". Two unborn infants: one the Son of God and one the prophet who would go before the Lord to prepare His way. We've heard this story countless times and it may never occur to us that this story could have ended differently.
Think about it. Mary was a young girl. Although she was engaged to Joseph, clearly this wasn't his child. "Modern society" would council Mary to terminate the pregnancy. She was too young to take on such responsibility. Planned Parenthood would have the "solution" to her "problem".
Then there's Elizabeth. She's an old lady. Surely delivering a baby at her advanced age would be very dangerous. She might even die. Even if abortion were illegal, she would fall under the so-called "exception" for danger to the mother's life.
I'm not saying that anyone is walking around today with God in their womb, or even a prophet. But who else have we killed? Maybe the person who would have found the cure for cancer. Maybe the person who could broker peace in the Middle East. Maybe the person who could save Twinkies. We've killed millions of children in this country since Roe vs. Wade became law. If just one percent of those children, and they were children regardless of what the abortion-rights folks call them, if just one percent had been men and women of great promise, imagine what a difference that would have made in the world. Ten percent or twenty percent? Who knows?
People ask what's wrong with this country? That's easy. We're killing our potential.
What I'm about to say may offend you, but please hear me out. The tragedy that took place in Newtown, CT is beyond belief. I can't begin to imagine how awful that must have been and will continue to be for the parents and loved ones of those who were senselessly murdered. The outcry has been world-wide as it should be. Even one child is too many to lose to violence. But, in the week that's passed since the Sandy Hook massacre, hundreds of babies have been killed by abortionists and no one bats an eye. It may be a bit of a stretch, but what if one of the millions of children we've killed by abortion was meant to be the person who would have stepped in and prevented the killings at Sandy Hook? Just a thought.
Where's the outrage for those children? Many of the same people who are demanding that the government do something about mass murders support the extermination of millions of kids and call it a "woman's right". Sorry, it just doesn't make sense to me.

One of the four estate agents fined by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) for price-fixing has spoken about the details of its sanction.
Charles Clark, chairman of Greenslade Taylor Hunt, said his firm's involvement in the collusion was down to the 'misguided' actions of one of its partners.
He told Burnham-on-Sea.com that 'no other office or department was involved in any way whatsoever'.
News broke last week that four firms in the Somerset town of Burnham-on-Sea had agreed to pay fines totalling over £370,000 after a year-long investigation by the CMA.
The agencies agreed to set minimum commission rates for residential property sales at 1.5%, which the CMA says denied local homeowners the chance of securing the best deal.
Greenslade Taylor Hunt was handed the biggest fine (£186,054) which includes a reduction of 20% for settlement and a reduction of 15% for leniency.
"Any discussion of commission rates, however informal, between competing businesses, is not permissible and the firm condemns such behaviour in the strongest terms," Clark told the local news website.
He went on to say that the partner involved recognises that his actions amounted to 'gross misconduct'.
"He is completely mortified, recognises his error and regrets his involvement in every way," said Clark.
"Discussions are continuing as to the individual's future responsibilities with the firm."
The other firms to be fined were Abbott and Frost (£30,099), Gary Berryman Estate Agents (£97,807) and West Coast Property Services (£58,273).
Another agency, Annagram Estate Agents, trading as C J Hole, escaped a fine after being the first company to confess to being involved in the practice.
The CMA has now fined agents over £1 million in two landmark cases concerning price-fixing.
"Price-fixing cheats customers and we are committed to tackling it regardless of the size of the businesses involved. We have taken action against estate agents before, and will do so again if firms break the law," said Stephen Blake, the CMA's senior director of cartel enforcement in a statement last week.

Ashley Cole has announced he is set to leave Chelsea.
The 33-year-old is out of contract this summer following eight years at Stamford Bridge.
The left-back, who retired from international football after being left out of England's World Cup squad, said on Twitter: "I am weighing up my options for playing next season with my agent and sadly it does not look like chelsea will be one of them.
"Thank u Chelsea FC for making my 8 years there a pleasure to work all the staff and players, we've been through a lot, good and bad.
"And of course the fans, how do I start, I can only say thank u for giving the boys confidence to win some amazing trophies, and once again.
"And this tweet is to the FANS that have stood (sic) buy me through thick and thin, I will always have u in my hearts, #cfcfans.
"And now I'll be looking for another journey in my life hope it can be like my others full of fun and of course WIN something."
Cole was kept out of the side by Cesar Azpilicueta for much of last season, making just 17 Barclays Premier League appearances, his lowest total in a single campaign for the club.
He was in tears after the final home game of the season, which now looks certain to have been his Stamford Bridge farewell.
The former Arsenal man was one of a trio of experienced players whose deals were up in the summer, along with Frank Lampard and John Terry, but captain Terry has since signed a one-year extension.
The future of Lampard, who will be 36 next month, is still undecided, with the midfielder's immediate focus on England and the World Cup.
Defender Cole, who won 107 caps for England, will not be short of suitors, despite being in the final years of his career.
Since his move across London from Arsenal in 2006, he has won one league title, four FA Cups, the Europa League and, most memorably, the Champions League with the Blues.
Cole, whose contract expires on June 30, has removed "Chelsea and England left-back" from his Twitter biography.

NPL provides a complete solution for all surface texture measurement requirements, including calibration of surface texture artefacts, and surface characterisation using both contact and non-contact measurement techniques. The range of bespoke primary surface texture measuring instruments enable the measurement and understanding of surface texture and provide valuable functional information about a surface.
The continuous research work in this area carried out by NPL together with our involvement in the development and evolution of ISO Standards in the field of surface texture metrology underpins our reputation as an authoritative source of advice and knowledge.
Benefits of surface texture measurements:
We calibrate and provide surface texture calibration artefacts compliant to:
ISO 5436-1:2000 Geometrical product specifi cation (GPS) – Surface texture: Profile method; Measurement standards – Part 1: Material measures
ISO 5436-2:2001 Geometrical product specification (GPS) – Surface texture: Profile method; Measurement standards – Part 2: Software measurement standards.
The calibration artefacts and software measuring standards specifi ed in these documents are designed to calibrate and/or check different characteristics of stylus profile measuring instruments such as vertical and lateral scales, tip condition and software validity.
Surface analysis
We also provide three-dimensional or areal surface texture measurements on a variety of industrial components such as optical components (e.g. lenses), machined parts (e.g. cylinders liners), industrial coatings (e.g. machine tools), wafers for microelectronics and MEMS. We have a wide range of instrumentation using both contact and noncontact methods that provide three-dimensional maps of the surface and three-dimensional surface parameters. These in turn are used to analyse the surface qualitatively and quantitatively.
NPL provides consultancy services on all aspects of surface measurement including: calibration, measurement uncertainties, best measurement practice, training and parameter interpretation.
