Ak47 - what is it?
The AK47 is a Russian automatic rifle, caliber 7.62x39. Legal semi-auto only copies of the AK47 are common in the USA amongst law-abiding gun owners. Fully automatic versions are not legal unless it is a pre-1986 registered "machine gun" and those are so rare and prohibitively expensive that they are limited to collectors. The true maximum effective range of an AK is about 300 yards. AK's are typically not very accurate, anywhere from 3-5 inch groups at 100 yards is the norm, and some shoot even worse than this. This lack of accuracy combined with the bullet's arcing trajectory, limit the range to about 300 yards for combat purposes in the hands of a trained soldier. For hunting/civilian use, the effective range is really about 100 yards or so (to hunt deer, the rifle must be able to keep all it's shots within a 8 inch group at 100 yards, minimum). Many jurisidictions have banned/regulated AK47-type rifles based on their appearance and on political misinformation. In fact, it's 7.62x39 cartridge is a intermediate-powered round, ballistically equal to .30-30 Winchester, but usually loaded with inferior FMJ bullets as opposed to JSP in the case of hunting rounds for the .30-30. Conventional deer rifles in calibers like .308, .30-'06, .300 Winchester Magnum, etc, are significantly more powerful than the AK47 and it's 7.62x39 round. The AK is known for being a simple, inexpensive, reliable and effective weapon. Contrary to popular belief, criminals seldom use AK47's or other assault weapons because their size makes them impractical for criminal use. You can't hide one of these weapons under your coat when trying to rob a convenience store, after all. Criminals use whatever weapons are available and convenient for them, which almost always means cheap pistols/revolvers and the occasional illegally-modified short barreled shotgun (legal short barreled shotguns require registration with the ATF and paying a $200 tax, as well as law enforcement approval). Many other automatic rifles were derived from the AK, designs such as the Israeli Galil series, Finnish Valmet series of rifles, the Belgian FNC, Swiss SIG55x series of rifles, etc. The AK uses a simple gas piston in the tube above the barrel to drive the cam-roatating bolt action using gas pressure tapped off the barrel when the weapon is fired. This is how the weapon is able to rechamber between shots (why it's semi-automatic). Military AK variants are capable of automatic fire at about 600 rounds a minute, but because of recoil, automatic fire needs to be limited to short bursts of 2-3 rounds for it to be effective. Automatic AK's are not legally available in the USA because of the provisions of the National Firearms Act of 1934 (establishing law enforcement approval, the $200 tax, etc) followed by the 1968 Gun Control Act, which banned the import of automatic weapons for civilian use, then the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 which banned all manufacture of new fully automatic weapons for civilian use. So to own an automatic AK legally, you have to find a pre-1986 registered weapon, find a Class III dealer to do the transfer for you, then you have to go through the ATF paperwork and get the local PD chief to approve you, then you pay a $200 tax stamp to the ATF, then you have to buy the actual weapon. Usual going price for a legal, fully-automatic AK that is available to be transferred is anywhere from $10,000-$15,000. For civilian use, the semi-automatic AK variants are very fun range plinking (informal target shooting) guns and can be used effectively to hunt deer and similar game, even though there are better rifles for this purpose. The AK would be a very good rifle for property defense in rural areas, not so good for home defense because of the extreme overpenetration hazard of 7.62x39 FMJ ammo (and the relative non-existence of JHP ammo that actually expands properly) and because of the muzzle flash, which could easily blind a person at night. For home defense, use a 12 gauge loaded with OO Buck, standard power loads because you want a easy-handling gun for that purpose. While many people feel the AK has no civilian use because of it's history as a military weapon, it's simply a fun, inexpensive, interesting rifle for many shooters.

Ak47 - meaning
The Avtomat Kalashnikova Modernizirovannyj Model 1947 (AK47 or AKM47) is the most widespread (although not most produced: That is the M16) weapon in the modern world. It fires the extremely powerful 7.62x39mm SOVIET ammunition at 600 RPM. The standard magazine is a curved, black, machine-grooved curved magazine that contains 30 rounds, although 40 round box, 75 & 100 round drum magazines are also avaliable. It is very famous for it's role in today's videogames. Battlefield Vietnam has it, Battlefield 2 has a newer version of it, America's army has it, Counter-Strike has it, a lot of Rainbow Six's terrorists have it, etc. The AK47 is most likely the second most influential gun of all time, the first being the german StG 44, which looks quite similar and has similar statistics to an AK. The AK47 is so widespread as it is extremely reliable and tough, you can beat people with it and almost completely ignore maintenance and it'll work fine, unlike the M16, which constantly jams and is very hard to clean. It has a fairly fast rate of fire at 600 rounds per minute (RPM) and fires an extremely powerful round with better baslistics than most other rounds. It is cheap and easy to make, unlike the M16 which isn't. The only real drawback is that it's very heavy, at over 4.3 kg for the AK, and 3.14 kg for the AKM.
The AK47 was made by Mikhail Kalashnikov. When Kalashnikov was in hospital from a wound during World War II, he started developing and making plans and designs for small arms. In 1944 he was assigned to the Izhevsk Machinebuilding Plant where he developed a gas-operated semi-automatic carbine. 45-46, he made an assault rifle using this design, and submitted the AK46 as it was then known, to Soviet army trials. 46-47 he redesigned it and submitted it again in 1947. It was officially adopted in 1949, and chrisened the AK47. In 1974, the Russian military adopted a new assault rifle, the AK74 or AKS74U as it was later known, which fired 5.45x39mm round. Although it was adopted by Russian infantry, the AK47 is still used by Special Forces, and many Warsaw pact countries and even terrorist groups. A video was published featuring Osama Bin Laden with an AK47. It is in many movies, games, and books. The Ak47 is most likely the best assault rifle of all time. It was also one of the first. It is reliable, powerful, with a good rate of fire. It has somewhat moderate recoil, but it fires with surgical accuracy on semi-auto and the first 2-3 shots of full-auto. It was used by the Vietcong in the Vietnam War. American soldiers, seeing the superior rifle, tossed away their M16s and picked up AK47s. The peace of mind brought by a more powerful round and bigger magazines and almost zero possibility of it jamming was quickly eliminated by the possibility of being shot by friendlies due to the distinct sound.

The famous Avtomat Klashnikova Model 1947 (AK47) is, along with it's scores of variants, the most widely used and manufacutured assault rifle in the world. Developed orginally for mobile units of the Russian Army, the AK rifles have found their way into the hands from hundreds of other militaries, as well as terrorist groups. Caliber of the orginal AK47/AKM was 7.62x39mm. The 7.62mm caliber has been phased out in Russia, which now favors the 5.45x39mm, chambered in the AK74.
In the days of the Cold War, the USSR made and distributed countless AK47 assault rifles.
