AK-47

The AK-47 is a Soviet 7.62mm assault rifle designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov. It is regarded as the world's first true assault rifle, based off of the German STG-44.

Introduced into service with the Soviet Army in 1949, the AK-47 is still in major use worldwide despite being replaced in the Soviet Military in the 1950s. The AK-47 served as the basis for all Soviet and Russian assault rifles made after, and served as the primary inspiration for other countries' assault rifle development. More AK rifles have been produced than all other assault rifle types combined. It is the first assault rifle seen in the video game, appearing in Season 2. AK type rifles have appeared in other media, but not the AK-47 model.
