An indigenously developed light weight, modular design gas operated 7.62 x 39 mm. The main advantage of the rifle is it’s simple design, fairly compact size, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to clean and maintain. One of the most important rifles ever developed. Reliably is one thing that sets the AK-47 apart from many other low-cost rifles. The AK-47 is a popular weapon in sand and desert environments because it continues to function well even when sand and other debris gets inside the rifle. Ease of use and availability mean the AK can be used effectively by those with little training. The gun hardly jams and requires little maintenance, so the operator won’t have to know much about gun maintenance, jam procedures, etc. It’s probably the most important gun in history. It’s a great rifle and because it is so affordable, reliable, and easy to mass produce it is one of the most demanded weapon gun in the world.
