Since 1947 the AK47 has been the standard weapon of enemies and allies of America. It is arguably the most used riffle platform in the world. At this time over 106 nations use the AK47 as their national riffle. There are at least 100 million AK47 in use based on a number of variations around the world.
The AK 47 stand for Avtomat Kalashnikova -- also known simply as the Kalashnikov. The design is all about simplicity and ease of use and maintenance. There were many guns at the time whose design influenced the design for the AK47 one of these was Germany's Sturmgewehr-44. The stG-44 was intended to lay down heavy fire with smaller rounds, and the AK47 followed with that same goal in mind.
The AK 47 was designed to fire in almost any condition. It was also designed to clear jams easily, but because of its simplistic design it rarely jams. Many have fired rounds with sand, mud, or dirt in the weapon and it still has not jammed.
A fully automatic AK 47 has the ability to fire at up to a 600 rounds per minute rate of fire. This makes the AK one of the deadliest weapons ever designed. The rate of fire, ease of use, and design make it a powerful weapon of choice. Today’s AKs are actually AKMs were the design has been updated with modern components for even more ease of use.

They have a great deal of manufacturers who love to work with this legendary design.

The AK-47 was designed to be a simple, reliable fully automatic rifle that could be manufactured quickly and cheaply, using mass production methods that were state of the art in the Soviet Union during the late 1940s.
The AK-47 uses a long stroke gas system that is generally associated with great reliability in adverse conditions.
The large gas piston, generous clearances between moving parts, and tapered cartridge case design allow the gun to endure large amounts of foreign matter and fouling without failing to cycle.
Wound Profiles of Russian small-arms ammunition compiled by Dr.
Martin Fackler on behalf of the U.S. military The AK fires the 7.62×39mm cartridge with a muzzle velocity of 715 m/s (2,350 ft/s).
The cartridge weight is 16.3 g (0.6 oz), the projectile weight is 7.9 g (122 gr).
The original Soviet M43 bullets are 123 grain boat-tail bullets with a copper-plated steel jacket, a large steel core, and some lead between the core and the jacket. The AK has excellent penetration when shooting through heavy foliage, walls or a common vehicle's metal body and into an opponent attempting to use these things as cover. The 7.62×39mm M43 projectile does not generally fragment when striking an opponent and has an unusual tendency to remain intact even after making contact with bone. The 7.62×39mm round produces significant wounding in cases where the bullet tumbles (yaws) in tissue, but produces relatively minor wounds in cases where the bullet exits before beginning to yaw.
In the absence of yaw, the M43 round can pencil through tissue with relatively little injury.
Most, if not all, of the 7.62×39mm ammunition found today is of the upgraded M67 variety. This variety deleted the steel insert, shifting the center of gravity rearward, and allowing the projectile to destabilize (or yaw) at about 3.3 in (8.4 cm), nearly 6.7 in (17 cm) earlier in tissue than the M43 round.
This change also reduces penetration in ballistic gelatin to ~25 in (64 cm) for the newer M67 round versus ~29 in (74 cm) for the older M43 round.
However, the wounding potential of M67 is mostly limited to the small permanent wound channel the bullet itself makes, especially when the bullet yaws.
The 3rd reason these guns are so beloved is their dependability. Due to the basic design elements and manufacturing, these have proved to be the most dependable 7.62MM design on the market. Even after modern updates the core design does not fail to deliver. The reason so many governments choose the design for their military is because they have proven to fire in most conditions.
