"The improved model AKM (AKM), which was put into production in 1959, improved the above-mentioned shortcomings to a certain extent. The muzzle of the gun had a slanted cut to act as a muzzle brake. At the same time, he further used stamping and welding processes to synthesize materials, reducing weight and production costs. It was conducive to mass production. Other than the occasional fracture of the firing pin during the removal of the shell, the failure rate was low.
The AK-47 series of rifles became famous in the 1960s during the South Vietnam War. The AK-47 and the Type 56 assault rifle (AK-47 produced by China) armed the regular army and guerrillas of North Vietnam. This type of automatic weapon was highly trusted by soldiers in the jungle. During the South Vietnam War, it was said that many American soldiers abandoned their heavy M14 automatic rifles or M16 assault rifles that were not suitable for the harsh conditions of the tropical rainforest. Instead, they used the AK47s of the captured South Vietnam soldiers because the AK47s had excellent reliability, easy control, and dense firepower. The AK47s were generally suitable for assault and charge within 300 meters.
The Soviet Union had sold the AKR-47 series rifles and their manufacturing technology to all parts of the world. Once it was released, it was listed in the armory of 55 countries. Due to the astonishingly high reliability of the AKR-47 and its improved version, the AKR-47 series rifles were widely used in the armies or anti-government armed forces of many Third World countries and even Western countries due to their simple structure, solid durability, high quality, low price, great power, and flexibility. All parties in some regional conflicts were very happy to use the AKR-47. In addition, many countries in the world had produced imitations or permits, including East Germany (the imitation model was Mpi-47), the former Soviet Union, hundred-plus, China (the Chinese government's permitted production model was long known as the Type 56 submachine gun, Type 56 assault rifle, etc.), poland, Romania, bulgaria, Egypt, cuba, north Korea, etc. It was still being produced in the 21st century.
The design concept of AKR-47 also influenced the design of infantry light weapons in Israel, Finland, China and many other countries: For example, Israel's Galil assault rifle, China's Type 81 automatic rifle, and Type 56 assault rifle. The AKR-47 series rifle was one of the most widely used rifle weapons. In the history of light weapons, only the Mauser rifle and the Colt revolver could compare to the extent of its popularity. About 200 million AK-47s were produced and equipped with the armies of 53 countries. Five countries drew it on their military emblems, so Kalashnikov was known as the "world's gun king" because of the widespread use of the AK-series rifles around the world.
Today, the AK47,AKM, AK74, AK74U, SVR, sniper rifle, AK12, and other AKs had become the " standard " equipment of many anti-American and local anti-government armed forces. The Chinese Type 56 rifle was a replica of the AK47.

The AK-47 assault rifle was reliable and had good service. It was solid and durable, with a low failure rate, simple structure, easy to disassemble, and durable. However, the muzzle of the gun would jump up when shooting continuously, which would affect the accuracy. Compared to small-caliber rifles, the system was heavier and inconvenient to carry. The gun had a fixed wooden stock and a foldable metal stock.
The barrel and the casing are screwed together, and the rifling part is long.

369mm, plated barrel. Regardless of whether it was under high or low temperature conditions, its shooting performance was very good. The casing was made of forgings. The magazines were made of steel or light metal and could be exchanged regardless of the weather.
The firing mechanism was a sledgehammer type, and the firing mechanism directly controlled the sledgehammer to achieve single and continuous shooting. The launching mechanism was mainly composed of a frame, an in-place safety, a stopper, a trigger, a speed machine, a single-shot lever, a hammer, an in-place safety stopper, and so on. The speed switch was located on the right side of the gun. When the speed machine is installed in the automatic position, the rear protruding part of the single-shot anti-iron is pressed by the lower protruding part of the speed machine and cannot be rotated, so the hammer cannot be buckled. At this moment, the firing block was holding onto the hammer and was in a waiting state. After pulling the trigger, the sear released the hammer, and the hammer rotated to fire. After that, as long as the trigger was held, the firing sear and the single sear would not be able to hold the hammer. Only the safety sear that was not in place would be able to hold the hammer. When the machine frame was pushed back into place and pressed down on the safety iron transmission rod, the bamboo shoot would be separated from the hammer slot, and the hammer would turn back to fire.

After that, he would repeat the above actions to achieve continuous shooting. When the speed machine was set to the semi-automatic position, before the first bullet was fired, the iron block held the hammer and was in a waiting state. After pulling the trigger, the sear was released from the hammer, and the single sear rotated forward. If the trigger was held tight, the hammer would be pressed down by the frame after firing, and at the same time, it would be held back by the single sear. At this time, because the machine frame had not been put in place, the safety iron transmission rod was lifted up, and there was a little gap between the bamboo shoot and the hammer slot. When the frame was moved back into place and the safety sear was not released in place again, the hammer was held by the single-shot sear. If it was fired again, the trigger must be released first to release the single-shot sear from the hammer, and the hammer would be held by the firing sear again to be fired. If the frame was not in place, the lock of the gun would not be accurate. At this time, the frame's release protruding bamboo shoot did not press down in place, so the safety iron block bamboo shoot could not be separated from the hammer card slot. Therefore, even if the trigger was pulled, the hammer could not be rotated forward, thus forming an out-of-place safety. When the speed lever is at the top position, the lower protruding part of the handle supports the rear protruding part of the single-shot sear and the right side of the rear protruding part of the trigger, so the trigger cannot be pulled and the safety is realized. If the hammer was in the waiting position, there would be bullets in the chamber. Since the trigger could not be pulled, the hammer could not be released, so it formed a rear safety. If the hammer was in the firing position, the anti-iron could not rotate forward because the trigger could not be pulled. When the hammer fell back, it was blocked by the anti-iron. The frame could only sit back for a short distance and could not push the bullet in the magazine into the chamber, thus forming a front safety. The gun's aiming device used a mechanical sight and was equipped with a night vision sight. The cylindrical crosshair and the U-shaped gap of the rear sight were equipped with foldable attachments, which contained the fluorescent material Radium-221. The rear sight was divided into 100 to 800 meters, one was divided into 100 meters, and the combat rear sight was set to 300 meters. However, when aiming with a scope, one could only adjust the crosshair up and down for height correction, and could not correct the wind deviation. Moreover, when shooting at night, the crosshair wing was often mistaken for the crosshair.
The automatic mode of the gun was air-guided, and the locking mode was revolving. It could be used for single and continuous shooting. The fixed stock was 870mm long, the folding stock was 870mm long, and the folding stock was 645mm long. The barrel was 415mm long. The whole gun weighed 4.3KG, the magazine capacity was 30 rounds, the initial speed was 710m/s, the theoretical firing rate was 600 rounds/min, and the effective range was 300m.

The AK-47 assault rifle standard model was finalized and officially put into production in 1949. It was developed for mechanized infantry. In the same year, the Soviet army officially adopted the AK-47.
The AKO-74U was designed by the former Soviet firearms designer Kalasnikov in A.
АКС-74Y（AKS-74U）
АКС-74Y（AKS-74U）
It was an improved version of the K74 rifle. It was manufactured by the former Soviet Union's national arsenal. It was finalized in 1974 and installed in 1977. The gun used a small caliber and fired specially developed 5.45mm bullets. The length of the barrel, the twist of the rifling, the shape of the chamber, the automatic mechanism, and the bullet feeding mechanism were all improved. Some of the parts could still be used with the AK-74. The AK-74 rifle had two types of stock: The fixed stock was called the AK-74. The folding stock was called AKC-74 (for elite troops such as paratroopers).
A large number of parts were made by stamping and welding. The casing was made by stamping instead of mechanical processing, and the weight was reduced to 3.15 kilograms. A hammer deceleration device was added to the trigger component to eliminate the possibility of misfiring when the firing pin hit the bullet's base fire. A simple anti-jump device was installed at the muzzle of the gun to improve the accuracy of the continuous shooting. AKMC was the model of AKMC's folding stock.
The AK-74 was equipped with the Soviet army in the early 1970s and gradually replaced the AKM.

His first appearance was on November 7, 1974, at the Red Square parade in Moscow. Due to the success of the M16, many countries developed small-caliber rifles in the 1960s and 1970s. The comprehensive performance of small-caliber bullets was higher than that of the 7.62mm medium-power bullets, so the Soviet Union began to develop new small-caliber rifle bullets and weapons.
A light machine gun developed on the basis of the AKM assault rifle. RPK was the short form of the Kalashnikov light machine gun. It was equipped with an extended barrel, a foldable tripod, 40-round magazines, and 75-round drums. It weighed 5.6 kilograms. The shooting range was close.
AKMSUs were short barrel-type AKMs, extremely rare and difficult to find. Therefore, there were several rumors about the authenticity of this gun: Firstly, the production of this gun was extremely low, and only a small number of special forces were equipped with it. Secondly, they had only designed a prototype gun and had not produced or equipped it with troops. Third, the factory did not design or produce this gun at all. It was just a product modified by some individuals.
A light machine gun with a caliber of 5.45mm, which was based on the RPK, had better performance than the RPK.
Rather than saying that it belonged to the AK gun family, it was more like an independent gun family. Whether it was performance, appearance, or other aspects, it was very different or even better than the AK-47. It appeared at the 2012 gun exhibition and was said to be ready to equip the army.
These nine guns were not designed by Kalashnikov, but by Alexander, and were mostly for sale.
The " LV47 " was not a real model. It first appeared in the famous first-person shooter game Counter Strike produced by the American company, ValveSoftware. Counter-Strike; In version 1.1, it was a display error of " AK-47 " due to the addition of a string file. The so-called " AK-47 is an improved version of the CCV47 " and " AK-47 and CCV47 are different models " were misunderstandings.
Tornado AK was not a real model. It was a virtual gun in Counter Strike Online (CSOL). The Tornado AK47 was originally named as the RV-4760R. It was a modified version of the AK47 equipped with a U-shaped magazine. It had 60 rounds and a large number of bullets, but its power was not reduced at all. The Tornado AK-47 in Counter Strike Online (CSOL) was a special gun for Bio-Mode II, Bio-Mode III, and Bio-Alliance warfare, all of which were obtained from the supply box. In the biochemical mode, it could shoot at close range or from a long distance. Its damage, trajectory, and recoil were the most outstanding and perfect among the automatic rifles. It performed well in the biochemical mode.”
