A mass produced 7.62mm automatic rifle with metal body and wood stock (orignal version, many other makes and models have been created by the Chinese, Hungarians, Romanians, Koreans, and numerous other countries). The gun was orginally designed by a Russian man Mikhail Kalashnikov in 1947. The weapon itself is designed on one factor, simplicity. You can litterally pull back the bolt back, throw a handfull of sand in, and it will still function properly. There is a lot of free space inbetween internal parts allowing quite a lot of build up to resinate before malfunctioning. Although it is just a weapon, it is also a symbol of resistance. You will see any Taliban member or terrorist sporting one of these rifles. The rifle can even be seen on the flag of Mozambique.
The infamous Osama bin Laden can even be seen holding and shooting an AK47 in the numerous videos he has released.

A weapon of remarkable simplicity and reliability. Though not as accurate as a Colt, it will continue to function effectively in adverse environmental conditions when others fail. Lightweight and user friendly, it is inexpensive and uses easily obtainable rounds. It's unique report identifies the user as a foe of U.S. forces.

The Ak-47 is the worlds most exported gun in the world. Designed by a former soviet tank commander, Avtomat Timovaich Kalashnikov, in 1947. Some people think that he based the idea off of the germans STG 44, this is not true. It operates on a completely different system. Chambered at 7.62 x 39mm, it operates on a rotating bolt. It can be fed from a 30 round and 10 round box magazines or 50-100 round drum magazines. It is dependable and powerful. Simple design and spaceing between parts means You can do whatever you want with it and it will still work. Used by many countries around the world, more than 10 million produced with the latest version being the Ak-74 which is chambered at 5.55 x 39 for easier control.

The hallmark of the assault rifle, everyone knows about it, even the yuppies who live next door. It never jams, you can literally pop open the bolt, pinch a loaf in there and it'll still shoot. It has sights that can be used up to 800m away, and it can put groups at 3-4 inches at 100yards. It answers the question of "what if i drop my gun in the mud, and a truck runs it over?" this gun is perfect for the wanna be terrorist, as for me ill take my AK over any American made Ar-15. In my opinion, the AK can enhance your cap-busting abilities
