The Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947 is a gas operated, selective fire assault rifle designed from 1945 to 1946 by Soviet tank commander Mikhail Kalashnikov to fill the need for a rifle-caliber automatic infantry weapon within the Soviet military, after experiences against the German StG-44 which deeply influenced Soviet doctrine in the post-war years. It has become the single most prolific weapon ever created, with models in use by military and police, or civilian consumers in nearly every country in the world. Chambered in the intermediate 7.62x39mm R.
The AK-47 is best described as an amalgamation of several previous weapons designs. It has the Trigger, Double locking lugs, and unlocking raceway of the M1 Garand and M1 Carbine, the Safety mechanism of the John Browning designed Remington Model 8, and the layout and gas system of the StG-44.
Versions of the AK-47 include the following:
AK-47 Type 1/2(1948-1951) - Most rifles manufactured with a milled steel receiver.
AK-47 Type 3(1952) - All rifles manufactured with a milled steel receiver.
RPK - Handheld Automatic-Rifle variant with a longer barrel and a bipod.
AKM - Modernized variant with various improvements over the AK-47.
AK-74 series - Series of the AK-type rifle which replaced the AK-47 in 1978. Chambered in 5.45x39mm
AK-101/AK-102/AK-103/AK-104 series - modernizations of the AK-74
AK-107/AK-108 series - incorporates a balanced bolt group, reducing muzzle jump, vibrations, and felt recoil.
The Avtomat Kalashnikova model 1947, or AK-47, is the single most prolific assault rifle ever created, second to none, although the rifles quality is questionable.

A new modular assault rifle developed by Izhmash to replace the AK-74M and AK-10x series. Chambered in 5.45x39mm, 5.56x45mm NATO, 7.62x39mm, and 7.62x51mm NATO. The prototype was called the AK-200. It's called the AK12 now because it's supposed to enter production in 2012. It may replace or supplement the AK-74M as the standard Russian service rifle, since the Russian government can't afford to buy AN-94s for everybody (except certain Spetsnaz groups) at the moment. The 60-round 5.45x39mm magazine designed for the AK-12 will also work in the AK-74, RPK-74, AEK-971, and AN-94, as all of these guns share the same magazine design.
Apparently some hicks also call the Saiga-12, Vepr-12, and KS-K (Karabin Spetsialny Kalashnikova- the military version of the Saiga-12) "AK-12s" because they're chambered for 12 gauge shotshells.
I really hope they replace the AK-47 with the AK-12 and AN-94 in the next Call of Duty since only seriously impoverished terrorists use AK-47s these days.

Avtomat Kalashnikov 1947
Invented by Mikhail Kalashnikov. Quite possibly the most popular assault rifle in existence, mostly because of mass proliferation.
7.62x39mm Soviet, 30-round clip. Has countless variants. Today it is black-marketted by terrorist cells (mostly because the AK is easy to make).
The AK-47 has been reported to have certain performances that surpass that of the Colt M16 series, and one reason is because the AK doesn't contain as many moving parts (therefore, maintenance is very easy). The AK-47 can also brave any type of harsh condition and environment.
There are ALL kinds of variants to the AK-47:
*AK-74 (5.45x39mm Soviet assault rifle)
*AKS-74u (5.45x39mm Soviet carbine)
*Saiga 12 (12g auto shotgun)
*Dragunov SVD (7.62x39mm Soviet sniper/infantry-backup rifle)
These 4 are just some.

The AK-50 is an alleged prototype gun designed and supposedly being built by Brandon Herrera and AKG industries. The AK-50 is a common myth spread by radical ak-47 users and white claw drinkers
The AK-50 is as fake as Brandon’s AR allergy is real

Originally developed and finalized by Mikhail Kalashnikov in the year 1947, the AK47 was meant to be a rifle for tank crews, who could not fit a full sized rifle into their tank. It was so successful that it was adopted by the Russian army, and exported to all of Russia's allies. It's most recognizable feature is its superb reliability, it will function in environments that other weapons would malfunction in. It fires 7.62 x 39mm ammunition(by comparison, an M16 fires 5.56 x 45mm).
This is the AK47 assault rifle. It is the preferred weapon of your enemy, and it makes a very distinct sound when fired at you.
