Kalashnikova (Russian: Автомат Калашникова, <a href="/wiki/Literal_translation" title="Literal translation">lit.</a> 'Kalashnikov's automatic [rifle]'; also known as the Kalashnikov or just AK), is an <a href="/wiki/Assault_rifle" title="Assault rifle">assault rifle</a> that is chambered for the <a href="/wiki/7.62%C3%9739mm" title="7.62×39mm">7.62×39mm</a> cartridge. Developed in the <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet Union</a> by Russian small-arms designer <a href="/wiki/Mikhail_Kalashnikov" title="Mikhail Kalashnikov">Mikhail Kalashnikov</a>, it is the originating <a href="/wiki/Firearm" title="Firearm">firearm</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Kalashnikov_rifle" title="Kalashnikov rifle">Kalashnikov (or "AK") family of rifles</a>. After more than seven decades since its creation, the AK-47 model and its variants remain one of the most popular and widely used firearms in the world. Design work on the AK-47 began in 1945. It was presented for official military trials in 1947, and, in 1948, the fixed-<a href="/wiki/Stock_(gun)" class="mw-redirect" title="Stock (gun)">stock</a> version was introduced into active service for selected units of the <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Army" title="Soviet Army">Soviet Army</a>. In early 1949, the AK was officially accepted by the <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Armed_Forces" title="Soviet Armed Forces">Soviet Armed Forces</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMonetchikov200567Bolotin1995129-10">[10]</a> and used by the majority of the member states of the <a href="/wiki/Warsaw_Pact" title="Warsaw Pact">Warsaw Pact</a>. The model and its variants owe their global popularity to their reliability under harsh conditions, low production cost (compared to contemporary weapons), availability in virtually every geographic region, and ease of use. The AK has been manufactured in many countries and has seen service with armed forces as well as <a href="/wiki/Irregular_military" title="Irregular military">irregular forces</a> and <a href="/wiki/Insurgencies" class="mw-redirect" title="Insurgencies">insurgencies</a> throughout the world.

The rifle used a long-stroke gas piston above the barrel. The upper and lower receivers were combined into a single receiver. The selector and safety were combined into a single control lever/dust cover on the right side of the rifle and the bolt handle was attached to the bolt carrier. This simplified the design and production of the rifle. The first army trial series began in early 1948.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMonetchikov200564-35">[35]</a> The new rifle proved to be reliable under a wide range of conditions and possessed convenient handling characteristics.

Even though production of these milled rifles started in 1951, they were officially referred to as AK-49, based on the date their development started, but they are widely known in the collectors' and current commercial market as "Type 2 AK-47".<a href="#cite_note-e36-38">[37]</a><a href="#cite_note-ForgottenWeapons.com-39">[38]</a> This was a more costly process, but the use of machined receivers accelerated production as tooling and labor for the earlier Mosin–Nagant rifle's machined receiver were easily adapted.<a href="#cite_note-browningmgs.com-40">[39]</a> Partly because of these problems, the Soviets were not able to distribute large numbers of the new rifles to soldiers until 1956. During this time, production of the interim SKS rifle continued.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPoyer20068–11-36">[36]</a> Once the manufacturing difficulties of non-milled receivers had been overcome, a redesigned version designated the AKM (M for "modernized" or "upgraded"; in Russian: Автомат Калашникова Модернизированный [Avtomat Kalashnikova Modernizirovanniy]) was introduced in 1959.<a href="#cite_note-e36-38">[37]</a> This new model used a stamped sheet metal receiver and featured a slanted <a href="/wiki/Muzzle_brake" title="Muzzle brake">muzzle brake</a> on the end of the <a href="/wiki/Gun_barrel" title="Gun barrel">barrel</a> to compensate for <a href="/wiki/Muzzle_rise" title="Muzzle rise">muzzle rise</a> under recoil.

This model is the most commonly encountered, having been produced in much greater quantities. All rifles based on the Kalashnikov design are often colloquially referred to as "AK-47s" in the West and some parts of Asia, although this is only correct when applied to rifles based on the original three receiver types.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPoyer20062-41">[40]</a> In most former Eastern Bloc countries, the weapon is known simply as the "Kalashnikov" or "AK". The differences between the milled and stamped receivers includes the use of rivets rather than welds on the stamped receiver, as well as the placement of a small dimple above the magazine well for stabilization of the magazine. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Replacement">Replacement</h3></div> In 1974, the Soviets began replacing their AK-47 and AKM rifles with a newer design, the <a href="/wiki/AK-74" title="AK-74">AK-74</a>, which uses <a href="/wiki/5.45%C3%9739mm" title="5.45×39mm">5.45×39mm</a> ammunition.

In semi-automatic, the firearm fires only once, requiring the trigger to be released and depressed again for the next shot. In fully automatic, the rifle continues to fire automatically cycling fresh rounds into the chamber until the magazine is exhausted or pressure is released from the trigger. After ignition of the cartridge primer and propellant, rapidly expanding propellant gases are diverted into the gas cylinder above the barrel through a vent near the muzzle. The build-up of gases inside the gas cylinder drives the long-stroke piston and <a href="/wiki/Bolt_(firearm)" class="mw-redirect" title="Bolt (firearm)">bolt</a> carrier rearward and a cam guide machined into the underside of the bolt carrier, along with an ejector spur on the bolt carrier rail guide, rotates the bolt approximately 35° and unlocks it from the barrel extension via a camming pin on the bolt. The moving assembly has about 5.5 mm (0.2 in) of free travel, which creates a delay between the initial recoil impulse of the piston and the bolt unlocking sequence, allowing gas pressures to drop to a safe level before the seal between the chamber and the bolt is broken. The AK-47 does not have a gas valve; excess gases are ventilated through a series of radial ports in the gas cylinder. Unlike many other rifle platforms, such as the AR-15 platform, the Kalashnikov platform bolt locking lugs are chamfered allowing for <a href="/wiki/Primary_extraction" title="Primary extraction">primary extraction</a> upon bolt rotation which aids reliable feeding and extraction, albeit not with that much force due to the short distance the bolt carrier travels before acting on the locking lug.

Their heavy steel construction combined with "feed-lips" (the surfaces at the top of the magazine that control the angle at which the cartridge enters the chamber) machined from a single steel billet makes them highly resistant to damage.

href="/wiki/Circular_error_probable" title="Circular error probable">circular error probable</a> method for determining accuracy, which involves drawing two circles on the target, one for the maximum vertical dispersion of hits and one for the maximum horizontal dispersion of hits. They then disregard the hits on the outer part of the target and only count half of the hits (50% or R50) on the inner part of the circles. This significantly reduces the overall diameter of the groups. They then use both the vertical and horizontal measurements of the reduced groups to measure accuracy. When the R50 results are doubled, the hit probability increases to 93.7%. <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a
