who discovered AK 47 rifle?

Answer 1

The AK-47 (Russian: Автомат Калашникова образца 1947 года, Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947) is a gas-operated assault rifle designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov, produced by Russian manufacturer IZH and used in many Eastern bloc nations during the Cold War. It was adopted and standardized in 1947[2]. Compared with the auto-loading rifles used in World War II, the AK-47 was generally lighter, 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. The AK-47 and its numerous variants and descendants have been produced in greater numbers than any other assault rifle and are in production to this day

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union, China and the United States supplied arms and technical knowledge to numerous client-state countries and rebel forces to promote their interests. This period saw the proliferation, sometimes free of charge, of AK-47s by the Soviet Union and China to pro-communist countries and groups such as the Nicaraguan Sandinistas and Viet-Cong. The AK-47 design was spread to a total of 55 national armies.[31]

The proliferation of this weapon is reflected by more than just numbers. The AK-47 is included in the flag of Mozambique and coat of arms (formerly also in Burkina Faso coat of arms) and the Hezbollah flag. "Kalash", a shortened form of "Kalashnikov", is used as a name for boys in some African countries.

In the U.S., movie makers often arm criminals, gang member and terrorist characters in AK-47s (e.g. films like Boyz N The Hood). Numerous computer games, video games, and rap songs feature AK-47s. Toy makers and the airsoft industry make millions of replica AK-47's.

The sheer ubiquity of the AK-47, its iconography and the fact that it possesses easily the most distinguishable profile ensures a significant and conspicuous impact on society

It was Mikhail Kalashnikov of Russia. www.kalashnikov.ru
He was a Soviet tank crew member in WW2 and was injured in battle. While recovering in the hospital he occupied hmself with designing a more user friendly rifle other than the Soviet PPsh-41 currently in use. He borrowed a lot from the German WW2 gun , the MP-43.
