AK47

The famous Avtomat Klashnikova Model 1947 (AK47) is, along with it's scores of variants, the most widely used and manufacutured assault rifle in the world. Developed orginally for mobile units of the Russian Army, the AK rifles have found their way into the hands from hundreds of other militaries, as well as terrorist groups. Caliber of the orginal AK47/AKM was 7.62x39mm. The 7.62mm caliber has been phased out in Russia, which now favors the 5.45x39mm, chambered in the AK74.

In the days of the Cold War, the USSR made and distributed countless AK47 assault rifles.

FN P90

A bullpup submachine gun manufactured in Belgium by Fabrique Nationale. The P90 is prehaps the most versitile weapon of it's kind: It's 5.7x28mm round possess better ballistic capabilities than the 9mm, with greater range and armor penetration. However, due to the uncommon round and doubtless high expense, the 9mm SMG will be around for a long, long time to come, which is perhaps a good thing, with guns like the Heckler & Koch MP5.

Dr. Evil cursed his cheap gun and picked up a P90, only to be eaten by his own laser beam-headed sharks, after the frikin' thing jammed.

British Guy #2: Here here!
