I think it odd that drum mags and bullet belt adapters aren't more of a staple for the AK-47. It's basically an armor-piercing machine gun without the sustained fire capacity of a 100 or 150 round magazine. 7.62x39 goes through almost any infantry or civilian equipment, why not decorate the whole cake with it?

That's what the RPK is for. Same ammunition, same operating system, same user interface (for the most part)--same gun, essentially, only a bit more robust for longer range and better sustained-fire durability.
