AK-47 — The World’s Most Famous Rifle The AK-47, designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov in 1947, is the most recognisable assault rifle on Earth. Chambered in 7.62×39mm, it became the backbone of the Soviet Army and a symbol of power throughout the Cold War. Built to survive the harshest battlefields, it could fire through mud, sand, and ice when others jammed. Over 100 million AK-47s and its variants have been made — more than any other firearm in history. Its rugged simplicity and unmistakable design turned it into a cultural icon, seen everywhere from battlefields to cinema screens.
