AK47

AK47, also known as the Kalashnikov, is a gas-operated, 7.62x39mm assault rifle first developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov in the late 1940s. It was officially adopted by the Soviet Armed Forces in 1949 and became the standard infantry rifle of the Soviet Union and other countries in the Warsaw Pact. The AK47 is known for its simplicity and durability, with a design that is easy to use, maintain, and repair, even in harsh conditions. It can function in extreme temperatures, dusty and sandy environments, and even when it is dirty or partially submerged in water.

This rifle is relatively cheap and easy to manufacture, making it one of the most widely produced firearms in the world, with an estimated 100 million units produced. About half of those outside Russia, many under no or expired Soviet-era license. It has been used in conflicts worldwide and has become a symbol of resistance and rebellion in many countries. Over the last seven decades, the AK47 Kalashnikov has become the iconic rifle of choice for everyone, from the Soviet military to terrorists to drug lords. While it has some limitations comparing to other modern assault rifles, it is still an effective weapon due to its reliability, ruggedness and ease of use.
