AK-47 Gun


The AK-47 is a selective-fire, gas-operated 7.62×39mm assault rifle, first developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov. It is officially known as Avtomat Kalashnikova (Автомат Калашникова). It is also known as a Kalashnikov, an "AK", or, in Russian slang, Kalash.
Design work on the AK-47 began in the last year of World War II (1945). After the war in 1946, the AK-46 was presented for official military trials. In 1947 the fixed-stock version was introduced into service with select units of the Soviet Army. An early development of the design was the AKS-47 (S—Skladnoy or "folding"), which was equipped with an underfolding metal shoulder stock. In 1949, the AK-47 was officially accepted by the Soviet Armed Forces and used by the majority of the member states of the Warsaw Pact.

    I commented on another photo, I am an Amazon Kindle/CreateSpace author/publisher interested in publishing this or the other AK-47 bullets/mag as the cover for my book UPRIGHT AMERICAN CITIZENS, Miami based Latino crime family saga. Tag line: Achieving the American Dream at the point of a gun.

    Please advise.
