Do this look real or manipulated?

I'm leaning towards manipulated.

I remember when this came out, it still cracks me up but it is staged:

The footage is not real; the video was actually created to build hype for the concept of the movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". The movie made into theaters on 5 August 2011 and had the storyline saying monkeys can rebel and use the advanced weapons we humans have developed against us. The video showing Chimp with AK-47 was in fact a part of viral ad campaign for promoting the film. To make the video appear real, it was shot as a documentary footage. There were also few other videos showing weapon-wielding apes, like this video clip showing a chimp hacking a carcass to bits with a machete (heavy knife used as weapon).

Therefore, the video of Chimp firing at the African soldiers with an AK-47 gun is a hoax. The footage is staged, and the Chimp is trained as an ‘actor’. However, it is a fact that Chimps can be trained to use a diverse armory of weapons.

CGI can be very real looking. If they trained a chimp to pull the trigger that is one thing, charging, loading and aiming are another. If it is true they trained it to pull the trigger is an accomplishment for the trainers. Wild chimps have been seen using tools to get termites for food.
