Stands for Avtomat Kalashnikova model 1947
Designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov while wounded in hospital - though he later said he wished he invented the lawnmower instead
Produced in greater numbers than any other 20th century assault rifle
Fires 600 rounds a minute
Estimated 70-100m in the world
The AK47 has spawned many derivatives, such as the Chinese-manufactured Type 56
