The Kalashnikov (Kallash), also known as the AK-47, is an automatic rifle used by most Eastern Bloc armies after World War II.
That rifle was designed in 1947 by Mikhail Kalashnikov as the world's first true automatic rifle.
Unlike most automatic rifles of the Second World War, the AK-47 was a compact and lightweight rifle that had a good range, a strong weapon with the ability to control fire (automatic, semi-automatic and single) .
Kalashnikov is still used today, so it is at the top of the world in terms of the number of parts produced.
