The AK-47 (shortened from Russian: Автомат Калашникова образца 1947 года, Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947) 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.[2] 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. 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.

LOL obviously not too many AK47 owners here . The AK47 is NOT only made in Russia. I was Invented in Russia however there are many varients of it Yugoslavian , romanian ( being the better model of all the varients) and also China produced the AK47. ALSO it is NOT ONLY a full automatic firearm it is also semi auto which is legal to own in most states and the full auto is legal if youre like me and can afford to pay the government the high dollars for a federal class III firearms permit.
