After World War II, Mikhail Kalashnikov created the selective-fire, gas-operated assault rifle known as the AK-47 in the Soviet Union.
It is one of the most often used assault rifles in the world and is renowned for its toughness and dependability under adverse circumstances.
The maximum effective range of the AK-47, which uses 7.62x39mm rounds, is about 400 metres.
Since its invention in 1948, it has been utilised by militaries, guerrilla groups, and terrorist organisations all over the world.
The AK-47 has emerged as a popular culture symbol and is frequently shown in television shows, video games, and other media.
