The KalAshnikov assault rifle displayed in the exposition of the Museum of History and Local Lore is a version of the weapon dating back to 1947 with a folding stock and a 7.62 mm caliber. This Kalashnikov rifle was extremely reliable and easy to use.
The standard equipment of this assault rifle included a barrel with a receiver, sights and a buttstock, a bolt carrier with a gas piston, the bolt itself, a counter-recoil mechanism, a gas tube with a hand guard, a trigger and firing mechanism, the front part of the rifle stock (forend), as well as a magazine for 30 rounds, and a bayonet for close combat.
The AK-47 and its modifications are the most widespread small arms in the world as of 2019. The Russian assault rifle is primarily appreciated for its reliability. You can shoot and effectively hit enemy targets in almost any weather conditions. If this weapon is handled carefully and according to the rules, rain, snow, dirt, dust and even falling onto a hard surface from a height of three meters will not affect its operation.
Its drawbacks include low accuracy of fire. But its other characteristics, such as reliability, rounds shot before failure, storage quality, mechanical strength and many others, make this assault rifle the most common and popular small arm.
The Kalashnikov is popular far beyond the borders of Russia. In 2006, one of the most popular newspapers in the United State, The Washington Post, published an article: ‘AK-47: Weapon of Mass Destruction’. The article also confirmed that the Russian assault rifle is the most reliable and popular weapon in the world.
The Kalashnikov is a standard military weapon in more than 100 countries. In its country of origin it has been used for seventy years. The silhouette of the AK can be seen on the coat of arms of several states: East Timor, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. In the 1980s and 1990s it adorned the coat of arms of Burkina Faso as well, and one of Mozambique’s banknotes also has a picture of the assault rifle. In Afghanistan the image of the AK-47 is embroidered on rugs.
