The AK-47 (shortened from Russian:
Автомат Калашникова образца 1947 года,
Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947 English:
Kalashnikov's machine gun, model of the
year 1947) is a gas-operated assault
rifle that was used in many Eastern bloc
nations during the Cold War. Adopted and
standardized in 1947, it was designed by
Mikhail Kalashnikov and produced by
Russian manufacturer Izhevsk Mechanical
Works. Compared with the auto-loading
rifles used in World War II (the StG-44
aside), the AK-47 was generally more
compact, with a shorter range and was
capable of selective fire. It was one of
the first true assault rifles and
remains the most widely used and known.
The AK47 RIS is designed for fast
action and light weight. The tactical
RIS handguard allows you attach more
tactical gear onto your Airsoft rifle.
The ergo-grip is also included.
