A community portal about AK-47 with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The AK-47 is a gas-operated assault rifle designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov, and produced by Russian manufacturer Izhevsk Mechanical Works and used in many Eastern bloc nations during the Cold War. It was adopted and standardized in 1947. Compared with the auto-loading rifles used in World War II, the AK-47 was generally more compact, with a shorter range, a smaller 7.62 × 39 mm cartridge, and was capable of selective fire. It was one of the first true assault rifles and remains the most widely used and known. More AK-47 rifles and variants have been produced than any other assault rifle; production continues to this day.

The first I really knew about the AK-47 was in the 1980s when the Sandinistas were getting Soviet-made AK-47s while Oliver North was busy buying Chinese-made AK-47s for the Contras. Well, I just read a piece about the AK-47 that surprised me. The surprise was that I had just assumed the AK-47 was not really that popular and, well, that the M-16 was the "standard" assault rifle. An article titled Automatic for the People: The AK-47 says...
