The AK-47 is a selective-fire, gas-operated 7.62x39mm Assault Rifle, first developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov.
It is the most widely used and popular assault rifle in the world because of its durability, low production cost, and ease of use. The AK-47 produces significant wounding effects when the projectile tumbles and fragments in tissue.
The standard AK-47 or AKM fires the 7.62x39mm cartridge with a muzzle velocity of 710 metres per second (2,300 ft/s). Muzzle energy is 2,010 joules (1,480 ft·lbf). Projectile weight is normally 7.8 grams (120 gr). The AK-47 and AKM, with the 7.62×39mm cartridge, have a maximum effective range of around 400 metres (1,300 ft).
