Officially known as the Avtomat Kalashnikova, the AK-47 is a gas-operated rifle developed in the Soviet Union by Russian engineer and WWII veteran Mikhail Kalashnikov that today is possibly the most historical and prolific shoulder weapon in the world. From the moment of its official adoption by the Soviet military in 1949, has been prized for its simplicity, ruggedness, and construction that allows for wide production.
The Most Widely-Manufactured Rifle In The World
The AK-47 is the most widely-manufactured rifle in the world because its relatively simple components make it affordable and easy to assemble. Plus, it can function in a wide range of environmental conditions, from extreme cold to hot and dusty environments, which makes it prolific, used by everyone from militias to national armies, especially in regions with harsh climates. The AK-47 is so popular that it’s featured on the flag and emblem of Mozambique and on the Zimbabwe Coat of Arms. Its historical significance is due to the many worldwide military conflicts in which it has been used, from the Vietnam War to the Gulf War to the Iraq War.
