When it was adopted by the Soviet Army, the rifle was simply designated "AK" for ''Avtomat Kalashnikova'' (Автомат Калашникова). The name "AK-47" was applied by Western countries, but was not used officially by the Soviet military. However, the name became so common worldwide that some Russian sources and films can be found using it (see ''[[Kalashnikov (2020)\|Kalashnikov]]'').
