A mate of mine just said "That`s not an AK47 , it`s a Kalshnikov"
I just looked at him and said "Google Kalashnikov and select images"
His reply "Well bugger me , Kalashnikov make a copy of the AK"
My reply , "They MAKE the AK you IGNORAMUS"

Correct.

What many people don't know is that Israel changed the AK 47 by bring the first sight back to the butt of the gun and changing the stock, which increased the accuracy of it ten fold, they called it the Galil. They also made a 5.56m instead of the 7.62m

There is some controversy over how much the AK was "influenced" by the German StG44, but the StG used a tilting bolt quite similar to a gas-op shotgun rather than the rotating bolt of the AK.



I think a weapon chambered for 5.56m might be a bit of a handful :-P

Useless trivia; the isreali galil series is chambered for the .223 win mag cartridge (5.56 NATO), whereas the Russians use 5.45mm.
