Kick ass gun made by a russian weapons designer by the name of Kalashnikov. It's the weapon of choice of the third world, dictator militias in developing countries, coup d'etats, gangs, and just about anyone who wants an inexpensive, durable, SMG performance rifle that's feared by every law enforcement group in the world (except for russian police, AK's are a standard issue there).
They fire the mid-sized but powerful 7.62x39 mm round at a mid-range fire rate, but the shiznit they punch out makes an american m-4 look like it's airsoft counterpart. This advantage is even complimented with the ease of use of the gun, easy found ammo, and durability of the carbine. You can literally throw a kalashnikov in the mud and stuff it with sand and fire it after without any jamming or messing of the barrel.
However, the AK isn't much of of a long range advocate. With open iron sights and warping wood stocks, you can't really trust the aim of the gun at any moment. But hell, that's where the phrase "spray and sweep" gets it's name from. Unload a 30 clip in the general direction of your target and your bound to put at least 5 rounds into em.

Get the AK-47 mug.A gas-operated Russian assault rifle (called the Kalishnikov) developed in the 1940s by a man with the same name. The AK-47 has spawned many variants and was more effective than the German assault rifles of the time. The AK-47 appeared poorly made, but was nearly indestructible. Some countries and guerrilla fighters used, and still use, the AK-47 as their primary weapon due to its reliability. This is especially true during the Vietnam war, where US soldiers would drop their M16A1 rifles in favor of AK-47s (the M16 has since improved.) The AK-47 is commonly seen in the media and is featured in all kinds of video games. It's also the stereotypical assault rifle used by gangs.
Big Dawg began firing his AK 47 at the rival gang, but couldn't hit anything because he wasn't looking down the damn sights.
The Soviets mowed down the attackers with AK-47s.

Get the AK-47 mug.Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947. A gun made in 1947 by Mikhail Kalashnikov. Very cheap. Has the best qualities of M1 Garand and StG 44. uses 7.62 × 41mm ammo. Widely used by terorists and soldiers of poor countries because of absurd cheapness and hy reliability. Reliability comes from lost of free space between parts inside the gun and cromed oparts (chromed parts are now in most of military weapons). Has absurd ammount of modifications, the most common is AK-74. Also, the latest versions use NATO rounds. Still, all AK look almost alike.

Get the AK-47 mug.The AK-47, or AK as it is officially known (also known as the Kalashnikov) is a selective-fire (semi-automatic and automatic), gas-operated 7.62×39 mm assault rifle, developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov. It is officially known in the Soviet documentation as Avtomat Kalashnikova.
Design work on the AK-47 began in the last year of World War II (1945). In 1946, the AK-47 was presented for official military trials, and in 1948, the fixed-stock version was introduced into active service with selected units of the Soviet Army. An early development of the design was the AKS (S—Skladnoy or "folding"), which was equipped with an underfolding metal shoulder stock. In the spring of 1949, the AK-47 was officially accepted by the Soviet Armed Forces8
Even after almost seven decades, the model and its variants remain the most popular and widely used assault rifles in the world because of their substantial reliability under harsh conditions, low production costs compared to contemporary Western weapons, availability in virtually every geographic region and ease of use. The AK-47 has been manufactured in many countries and has seen service with armed forces as well as irregular forces worldwide, and was the basis for developing many other types of individual and crew-served firearms. As of 2004, "Of the estimated 500 million firearms worldwide, approximately 100 million belong to the Kalashnikov family, three-quarters of which are AK-47s"
