I really suck at using the AK-47 on CS:GO. I seem to play people who are able to just one-shot me with them.
Is there a trick to using the AK-47?

No quickscoping like in 1.6 does not work anymore there are a few things that cause this:
- Zooming in/out takes a lot longer it is no longer instant as in 1.6.
- If you are moving when zoomed in your accuracy is greatly reduced thus making it impossible to do real quickscopes like in 1.6 seeing you have to stand perfectly still for your shots to go anywhere near your target.
These 2 points make it impossible to quickscope cs 1.6 style.
the quickscoping you can do now is more like quickscoping in call of duty albeit less accurate.
Go stand on the metal piece (X on the image) and then jump slightly towards the center of the alley (arrow on the image indicates direction), crouch and strafe towards the cart.

All the weapons in CS:GO have a static spray pattern. If you hold down the button and empty a clip the bullets will always come out in the same patterns. How this differs from other games is that it is -not- going to move your whole screen so all you have to do is keep the cross-hair on your target. This is why many people refer to CS:GO as a skill based FPS, you have to learn how to adjust for the spray pattern.
There is a very well written page detailing the spray patterns of all the guns on the community forums. I will however duplicate the AK47 information here since it is what the question is specifically about
The AK47 Spray Pattern:
This is the pattern of the bullets and these are found by standing still in the game, shooting the wall, and seeing where the bullets go. In order to send all of the bullets into a single location you need to reverse-echo this pattern with your mouse.
For the AK47 this is the recoil path:
People who learn the patterns can send more of the bullets to where they want, this is how they increase their 'accuracy' and get better chances at headshots as they are now sending 30 bullets in a much smaller location.
Again, I highly recommend checking out the community forums link above, and there are quite a few good series of Youtube videos of people showing how to do this, which ever way helps you learn. Eventually though you should hop into a bot game, aim at a wall and try to use these patterns to get smaller and smaller clusters of bullets.
