Who has not heard of the most known assault rifle series ever created? Avtomat Kalashinikova, at least that is how the Russians call it. The assault rifle first appeared in Russia in 1947. It was called the AK-47 and came as the replacement of Fedorov's assault rifle. The AK-47 was unlike any of it's kind at that time. It was fast, powerful and had good clip size. Even to this day, it's still widely used by mostly terrorist groups because it is an outdated weapon and is very cheap compare to other weapons. One of the things that made AK-47 so popular is how easy to maintain the gun. Unlike the other assault rifles, this one was not so complex, thus it was very easy to take it apart and clean it.
The reason the rifle is called AK-47 is very simple. The number that comes after the letters AK simply tell you the year it was first introduced in. With later versions such as AK-107, it means that this is an AK rifle created in 2007.Caliber 7.62x39 mm
