NOTE: Please keep in mind that while "AK-47" is often a catch-all term for 7.62x39mm Kalashnikov rifles, most so-called "AK-47s" in movies - particularly American movies - are actually either Egyptian Maadi ARM copies of the highly improved [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]], or variants of the Chinese [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56]]. Please check carefully to make sure that the rifle in question is a true AK-47 and not an AKM or a Chinese Type 56. When in doubt, it is probably safer to assume AKM or Type 56.
[[File:AK-47 No1.jpg|thumb|right|400px|AK-47 serial number 1 - 7.62x39mm. '''Important note''': this is the original appearance of this prototype, in the form in which it, together with the rifles under serial numbers 2 and 3, was tested in December 1947 - January 1948. It was subsequently heavily modified in 1948 when it was used along with #2 for additional testing.]]


ALSO NOTE: since the 70s, [[AK-74]] and its update AK-74M was a standard-issue assault rifle of Russian armed forces. Therefore, all fictional depictions of 7.62x39 AK variants as modern standard-issue Russian military weapon should be considered an anachronism until proven otherwise (for example, some special forces operators and front line soldiers have been known to arm themselves with available 7.62x39 AK rifles and light machine guns as a matter of personal choice).
The '''AK-47''', officially '''''Avtomat Kalashnikova''''' (Russian: Автомат Калашникова, lit. 'Kalashnikov's automatic [rifle]'), is a select-fire, gas-operated 7.62x39mm assault rifle, developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov. The model spawned the '''Kalashnikov rifle''' family of weapon designs, whose members would be adopted by large amounts of countries as their service rifles, becoming one of the most widely used firearms in the world.


'''The AK-47 is used by the following actors in the following movies:'''
The AK-47 and its variants has been manufactured in many countries and has seen service with armed forces as well as irregular forces worldwide, and was the basis for developing many other types of individual and crew-served firearms. Multiple Communist Bloc countries manufactured copies of the AK-47 (and the AKM), some of which would go on to spawn derivative rifle families with designs distinct from Soviet/Russian designs. These include:
 
* China: [[Type 56 assault rifle]]
* Hungary: [[AKM-63]]
* Romania: [[PM md. 63]]
* Yugoslavia: [[Zastava M70]]
 
'''Note:''' This page specifically focuses on 7.62x39mm Soviet/Russian variants of the Kalashnikov rifle, as well as their near-identical copies manufactured by other countries. For 7.62x39mm Kalashnikov variants with distinctive designs used by other countries, please see their respective pages. For later modernized Soviet/Russian Kalashnikov variants, see the [[AK-74]], [[AK-100 series]], and [[AK-12]] pages.

It is noteworthy that the U.S. government had a ban on all weapons imported from Warsaw Pact nations during the Cold War years (1947-1989). Communist nations which were not part of the Warsaw pact, such as Yugoslavia and Mainland China, were allowed to negotiate trade agreements with the U.S., thus the influx of Chinese AK type rifles and Yugo AKs (Zastava).  The Maadi ARMs (the US version of the MISR) were allowed because Egypt was never a Communist country nor a member of the Warsaw Pact. But, as a result of this, '''virtually no U.S. movie has a real original AK-47 prior to a certain date.''' The exceptions are, custom build ups after the mid 1990s when original AK-47 rifle kits were available (as was done on "We Were Soldiers", using original blueprints and US made milled receivers), and movies filmed overseas where foreign movie armorers had no such restrictions.  This is particularly true for films made in Israel and some parts of Europe.  This is not the case now, with the current crop of films made outside the U.S., mostly in the newly democratic Eastern European nations (Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Poland, Czech Republic, etc.)  However, Russia has firmly blocked the export of their old AK-47 surplus guns outside of the country, having distributed most of them to client nations and guerillas throughout the world in the previous five decades. So the AK-47 one 'thinks' one sees may very well be a Poly Technologies Legend series AK (from China) or another AK Variant.

==AK-46==
[[File:AK-46.jpg|thumb|right|400px|AK-46 prototype No. 1 - 7.62x39mm]]
 
The '''AK-46''' (exact designation uncertain) is the common name for an experimental assault rifle by Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov on the basis of a self-loading carbine he developed in 1944, whose design would evolve into the AK-47. The rifle commission rejected this design in the second round of their tests, but Kalashnikov would radically revise his design and create the prototype "AK-47".
 
The AK-46's design had a certain resemblance to the mechanisms of the [[M1 Garand]], specifically action with a short stroke of the gas piston located above the barrel and a rotating bolt.


'''NOTE:''' while the English-speaking tradition is to call the Russian 7.62x39 assault rifle by Mikhail Kalashnikov "AK-47", its official nomenclature is in fact was always AK\AKM, withouth 47 added to it. The AK-74 and all its variants, though, include the year in its original naming.
There were three versions of the rifle, each slightly different from each other. The third in particular had a folding buttstock, similar to the later AKS-47.

The name '''AK-47''', as used in the English-speaking world, refers to the oldest production variants of Kalashnikov's assault rifle design, before the introduction of the AKM. These production weapons are officially designated as the '''AK''' in Soviet sources; the name "AK-47" in Russian sources instead ''only'' refers Kalashnikov's pre-production prototypes from 1947, which feature some differences from the finalized design. In Soviet sources, the AK-74 and its variants were the first to include the year in its original naming.
 
These early production AK variants are divided by western firearm collectors into three distinctive types:
 
* Type 1: The first production model, produced from 1948-1951. The Type 1 AK featured an early stamped receiver. It can be distinguished by a raised section of the stamped receiver underneath its charging handle, as well as a slightly differently shaped pistol grip.
* Type 2: The second production model, produced from 1951-1957. The Type 2 AK featured a milled receiver; while it was intended for the AK to use all stamped parts for cost reasons, the Soviet metalworking industry was simply not ready to do this at the time, and the high rejection rate of the early stamped AK receivers led to a switch to milling that lasted until the introduction of the AKM. It can be distinguished by a metal stock mounting bracket on its buttstock.
* Type 3: The third production model, produced from 1955-1959. The Type 3 AK is an improved version of the Type 2 AK, and also had a milled receiver. Most milled receiver AKs are derived from the Type 3 design. The Type 3 AK was phased out in 1959 by the improved stamped receiver AKM.
 
It is noteworthy that the U.S. government had a ban on all weapons imported from Warsaw Pact nations during the Cold War years (1947-1989). Communist nations which were not part of the Warsaw pact, such as Yugoslavia and Mainland China, were allowed to negotiate trade agreements with the U.S., thus the influx of Chinese AK type rifles and Yugoslavian AKs (Zastava).  The Maadi ARMs (the US version of the MISR) were allowed because Egypt was never a Communist country nor a member of the Warsaw Pact. But, as a result of this, '''virtually no U.S. movie has a real original AK-47 prior to a certain date.'''  The exceptions are, custom build ups after the mid 1990s when original AK-47 rifle kits were available (as was done on ''[[We Were Soldiers]]'', using original blueprints and US-made milled receivers), and movies filmed overseas where foreign movie armorers had no such restrictions.  This is particularly true for films made in Israel and some parts of Europe.
 
This is not the case now, with the current crop of films made outside the U.S., mostly in the newly democratic Eastern European nations (Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Poland, Czech Republic, etc.)  However, Russia has firmly blocked the export of their old AK-47 surplus guns outside of the country, having distributed most of them to client nations and guerrillas throughout the world in the previous five decades. So the AK-47 one 'thinks' one sees may very well be a Poly Technologies Legend series AK (from China) or another AK Variant.
 
As an additional note, early production AKs used the slab sided magazine featured in Kalashnikov's original design, and the ribbed magazine design was introduced later.

[[Image:AKMRifle.jpg|thumb|right|450px|AKM, Stamped Steel Receiver w/ slant muzzle brake - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:MaadiARM.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Maadi ARM - most of the AKMs seen in movies during the 1980s were imported ARMs that were legally converted to full auto fire.  This image is of an actual movie gun. The laminated buttstock was replaced with a hardwood one when the original stock was broken during a stunt. This example is also loaded with a 30-round bakelite plastic magazine - 7.62x39mm]]
 
The improved version of the AK-47, featuring a number of refinements such as a stamped receiver (as opposed to the milled receiver of the original AK-47), a slant compensator on the tip of the barrel (to reduce recoil), an improved gas tube (without vents), and use of lighter materials to reduce weight and simplify construction.
 
Most of the AKMs seen in Hollywood movies are actually Egyptian Maadi MISR copies, which were sold in the U.S. as the ARM in the 1980s - such weapons were first procured by Stembridge Gun Rentals for ''[[Red Dawn]]'' and subsequently re-used in numerous other motion pictures. The Maadi is almost identical to the original Soviet-built AKM, save for the markings, and is nearly impossible to tell apart.
 
'''NOTE:''' while the English-speaking tradition is to call any Russian 7.62x39 assault rifle by Mikhail Kalashnikov "AK-47", its official nomenclature is in fact was always AK\AKM, withouth 47 added to it. The AK-74 and all its variants, though, include the year in its original naming.

The '''AKS-47''' is a variant of the AK-47 where the rear-trunion is altered with a swiveling mechanism to allow for the under-folding stock. The AKS may feature any of the three AK-47 receiver types.  Very few original Russian versions of this rifle were ever allowed into the U.S. Market.  The vast majority of milled receiver underfolders seen in American movies were Chinese Norinco Rifles or Chinese Polytech legend series (which was by far the most accurate Chinese clone of the original AK 47 to date). Original Russian AK (especially the milled versions) were most common in movies and tv shows filmed OUTSIDE of the USA.

[[Image:AKMS.jpg|thumb|right|450px|AKMS, stamped steel receiver w/ slant muzzle brake and under-folding stock - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:AKMSPistol.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Custom AKMS with shortened barrel, as seen in ''[[Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines]]'', ''[[Pineapple Express]]'', ''[[Rambo (2008)|Rambo]]'', and ''[[Taken]]'' - 7.62x39mm]]
Basically the same as the AKM, but the rear-trunion is altered with a swiveling mechanism to allow for the under-folding stock.  The AKMS nomenclature also indicates that the rifle is not a milled receiver variant and has the AKM style of gas block, top cover, barrel assembly, front sight, and appropriate forearm furniture.

== AKMSU ==
[[Image:AK-Krinkov.jpg|thumb|right|450px|AKMSU Krinkov - 7.62x39mm.  This is a blank adapted full auto transferable AKM (7.62x39mm) pistol that was converted into a Krinkov via parts kit.  Guns just like this one have been used in ''[[Tropic Thunder]]'', ''[[Three Kings]]'', and numerous other movies and TV shows.]]
[[File:AKPDW01.jpg|thumb|450px|right|AKMSU with RIS handguard - 7.62x39mm]]
Chopped and shortened version of the AKM, made to resemble the [[AKS-74U]] except that it is still a 7.62x39mm gun.  The AKMSU was never manufactured by the Soviet Union; however, many other countries, including Yugoslavia, built their own versions.
 
Most of the so-called "AKMSU" carbines seen in Hollywood movies, such as ''[[Three Kings]]'', ''[[Tropic Thunder]]'', ''[[Bad Boys II]]'', etc. are actually full-size AK variants that have been converted with Krinkov parts kits; many feature side-folding [[AKS-74U]]-style stocks. The picture to the right is an actual movie gun that is identical to those that have appeared in many films and TV shows.

== AKM ==
[[File:AKMRifle.jpg|thumb|right|450px|AKM - 7.62x39mm]]
[[File:Maadi ARM.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Maadi ARM - 7.62x39mm. This Egyptian clone of AK is often seen in American movies.]]
[[File:AKM Synthetic Furniture.jpg|thumb|right|451px|Romanian AKM with synthetic furniture - 7.62x39mm]]
[[File:Akm gp25.jpg|thumb|right|450px|AKM with [[GP-25]] grenade launcher - 7.62x39mm / 40mm]]
 
The '''AKM''' is the improved version of the AK-47, featuring a number of refinements such as a stamped receiver (as opposed to the milled receiver of the original Type 2 and Type 3 AK-47), a slant compensator on the tip of the barrel (to reduce recoil), an improved gas tube (without vents), and use of lighter materials to reduce weight and simplify construction.
 
Most of the AKMs seen in Hollywood movies are actually Egyptian Maadi MISR copies, which were sold in the U.S. as the ARM in the 1980s - such weapons were first procured by Stembridge Gun Rentals for ''[[Red Dawn (1984)|Red Dawn]]'' and subsequently re-used in numerous other motion pictures. The Maadi is almost identical to the original Soviet-built AKM, save for the markings, and is nearly impossible to tell apart.

The Chinese Type 56 assault rifle (manufactured by China North Industries Corporation, or Norinco) is by far the most commonly-seen AK derivative in Hollywood productions, both film and television. They are frequently seen impersonating Russian weapons in many films, since the Russians never sold a civilian AK model in the U.S. (or Europe) during the latter half of the 20th century.  Most of the movie prop rental houses in Hollywood had dozens if not hundreds of Chinese AKs -  mostly the Type 56s (7.62x39mm version) or the similar [[AK-47#Norinco Type 84S|Type 84s]] (5.56x45mm version). These were usually semi-automatic civilian versions (commonly designated "AK47S" or "AKS47" by the importers), in many cases converted to full-auto by Class III manufacturers.
 
There are three main variants of the Type 56 - the standard Type 56, which has a fixed stock, the Type 56-1, which has an under-folding stock, and the Type 56-2, which has a side-folding stock. Most fixed-stock Type 56 rifles have an under-folding spike bayonet, known as the "pig sticker"; this rifle is often seen in movies about the Vietnam War, and is correct for NVA throughout most of the conflict. Quite a few of the Type 56s seen in movies also have [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]]-style slant compensators fitted; this was a common feature on semi-auto Type 56s exported to the U.S., but NOT the full-auto military model.
 
The easiest way to tell when an AK-type rifle seen in a movie or TV show is a Chinese Type 56 is by looking at the front sight; Chinese AKs have a distinctive full-circle ("hooded") front sight that no other AKs (including those made in Russia) have.

==Norinco Type 84S==
[[Image:NorincoType84SRifle.jpg |thumb|right|500px|Norinco Type 84S - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:NorincoType84SFolder.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Norinco Type 84S Underfolder Model - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:NorincoType84STarget.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Norinco Type 84S "Target" Rifle - 5.56x45mm.  Basically a standard Norinco Type 84S with a slightly longer barrel.  This variant was ready for market just as the 1989 US import ban was implemented, so it is mostly seen in Canada.  It has an 18.5" barrel and was very rarely seen in the U.S. Gun market.]]
[[Image:NorincoType84SMatch.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Norinco Type 84S Match Rifle - 5.56x45mm.  Norinco was stuck sitting on a pile of 21" RPK barrels chambered for 5.56mm when the door slammed shut on U.S. imports in 1989. Norinco saved money by mating their 21" long RPK-style barrels to their stockpile of 84S Folding Stock receiver bodies and thus exported the '''Type 84S Match''' to countries such as Canada and Australia.  Canada would suffer their own import ban on 'frightening looking guns' in 1995.  Australian gun owners would suffer such a fate in 1997.]]
 
The Type 84 rifle is nearly identical to the Chinese Type 56 (seen above), but it is chambered in 5.56x45mm /.223 Remington. It is often seen impersonating the [[AK-74]] in movies and TV shows (particularly ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'', where it is carried by Russian SG teams).
 
The Type 84 was imported and sold with an AK birdcage flash hider and had a deep polished factory blue. Several other variants of the 84S Rifle (that are mostly unfamiliar to American Gun Owners) were victims of the 1989 Import Ban that barred most new 'assault rifles' from entering the United States.  These rifles were thus mostly exported to Canada and Australia, and as a result, appeared in television shows or movies that were filmed in those countries.  Listed here are two of the variants seen in Canadian or Australian television (the Target and the Match versions).  If it were not for Canadian or Australian movie armorers, most of us in the U.S. would never have known these variants existed.

==Zastava M70==
[[Image:Zastava M70B1.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Zastava M70B1 fixed stock rifle - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Zastava M70 AB2.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Zastava M70AB2 folding stock rifle - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Zastava M70AB2.jpg |thumb|right|400px|Zastava M70AB2 folding stock rifle - 7.62x39mm (non-standard pistol grip).  The military version of the M70AB2 underfolder rifle has a black plastic pistol grip as seen in the image above. However all of the Zastava M70AB2 rifles imported in the U.S. by Mitchell Arms had the wooden pistol grip seen in this photo.  So a wooden pistol grip is indicative of a 'Mitchell Arms' rifle.]]
 
The Zastava M70 was the Yugoslavian variant of the Russian AK-47 (later AKM), however, it utilized a strengthened lower receiver, more akin to the RPK than the AK-47/AKM.  It also has other design variations which make it immediately recognizable from its Russian cousin. M70 has grenade launcher sights that when raised cut off gas flow to the piston allowing use of blanks for grenade launching; the rear trunion has a plunger to lock the receiver cover to prevent loss when used with a grenade launcher. Flip-up sights are standard equipment for optional night use: two dot rear and one dot front filled with phosphorescent material. M70 magazines are standard AK-47 type, but have a follower that blocks the bolt open when empty (much like the 30 round M1 Carbine magazine follower). The forearm is distinctly longer and has 3 cooling vents.
 
Some of the variants also have finned barrels to aid in heat dispersion. It was made by Zavodi Crvena Zastava (Red Banner Plant), now Zastava Oružje / Zastava Arms in a Yugoslavian (now Serbian) city of Kragujevac.
 
It was most widely used and seen in the Wars in the 1990s of the former Yugoslavian republics - Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro (Slovenia and Macedonia were not a major combatants in the fighting). Yugoslavia also sold them to many countries such as Iraq (which produced a licensed copy known as the Tabuk, which lacked the grenade-launching sight) and Kuwait.
 
The Zastava M70 was produced in the following variants:
 
* M70 - milled receiver, fixed stock
* M70A – milled receiver, underfolding stock
* M70A1 – milled receiver, underfolding stock, mount for night or optical sights
* M70B1 – stamped receiver, fixed stock
* M70AB2 – stamped receiver, underfolding stock
* M70B1N – stamped receiver, fixed stock, mount for night or optical sights
* M70AB2N – stamped receiver, underfolding stock, mount for night or optical sights
 
* Variants M70B, M70AB and M70AB1 also exist, but they are rare and their specifications are unclear.

The Romanian clones of the AKM and AKMS, identifiable by the vertical foregrip integrated into the handguard. The folding-stock version of the AIM, known as the AIMS, originally had a conventional under-folding stock and the grip curving inwards at a convex angle. This was eventually replaced by a version which had a side-folding stock (copied from the East German MPi-KMS), as shown here.

Basically the same as the AKM, but the rear-trunion is altered with a swiveling mechanism to allow for the under-folding stock.  The AKMS nomenclature also indicates that the rifle is not a milled receiver variant and has the AKM style of gas block, top cover, barrel assembly, front sight, and appropriate forearm furniture.

The MPi-KM/MPi-KMS-72 are East German license-manufactured versions of the AKM/AKMS. Early versions of the rifles had wooden furniture, but later models have distinctive stippled brown buttstocks and pistol grips. The MPi-KMS also has a side folding single strut "coat hanger" stock, a feature which is shared with the Romanian AIMS rifle. After the German reunification, all variants of the MPi were removed from service, with most rifles being sold as surplus to the militaries of such countries as Finland and Turkey.

Note: The chance of seeing a 100% original East German MPi-K series of rifle in a movie or television show is extremely unlikely.  Most of the "East German" AKs that are seen in visual media are regular AKMs using East German Parts kits.

==FEG NGM-81==
[[File:FEG-NGM 81.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Hungarian FEG NGM-81 with original PKM style flash hider - 5.56x45mm]]
The Hungarian FEG NGM-81 was a domestic rifle based on the indigenous Hungarian AK74, but built for export. For that reason, it was chambered in 5.56x45mm, though some 5.45x39mm variants exist. The Rifle was built between 1981-1990.  The original rifles were only offered with a fixed butt and a wooden fore-end, made in the same Hungarian Blonde wood as the SA-85M export rifle. The folding stock version of this rifle was called the NGV-81. Due to Cold War prohibitions against Combloc weapons within the U.S. (except those exempted by treaty), the vast majority of the export NGM-81 rifles went to Europe and Africa. Most versions omit the large [[PK machine gun|PKM]] style flash hider, opting instead for the standard AK-47 style muzzle nut. The FEG NGM rifle was noteworthy in that it kept the AK-47/Type 56 style of gas block system, with the gas relief holes in the gas tube, not the gas block (as is the case with the AKM and later style rifles). The Gas block itself and the front sight is the AKM style in shape and the rifle takes a Hungarian stamped metal 5.56mm magazine similar but not identical to the Wieger style AK magazine.

The AKU-94 is a bullpup conversion kit (built and originally sold as a kit by K-VAR) for the AK type rifle,  Both the European style AKs (like the Romanian AKs or Egyptian Maadis) and the Chinese style of AK rifle (Type 56) can fit into the kit.  In the Mid-2000s, KVAR stopped making and selling the AKU-94 conversion kit.  All remaining kits were purchased by Century Arms International, and subsequently used to 'spruce up' AK rifles with a futuristic bullpup look.  Currently various imported AK rifles (mostly WASRs) with kit installed, is sold by Century Arms International.  This bullpup configuration retains the standard barrel length but the design makes the AK rifle more compact making it more suitable for close quarters battle.

==Firing Replicas of the AK-47==
 
===Bollywood Replica AK-47===
 
Commonly seen in [http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Category:Bollywood Bollywood] productions due to Indian firearms restrictions, these replica AK-47s are designed to fire blank ammunition and are most likely custom fabricated by Indian armorers. Virtually all "AK-47s" seen in Bollywood movies (excepting films made with the help of the Indian military) will be such blank-firing replicas.

The most common of all movie AK-47s in scenes where a real firearm was not used, is the all metal Japanese "Hudson AK-47".  Hudson, a replica gun company like Model Gun Corp. (MGC) made many metal replicas in the 1970s and 1980s.

The MPi-K/MPi-KmS are East German license-manufactured versions of the AK/AKS. It was introduced in 1958, put into regular service in 1961, and was subsequently replaced by the MPi-KM from 1964.
 
One of the features of MPi-K is the absence of a cleaning rod and a socket in the buttstock for a pencil case with accessories, since instead of them a cleaning kit of the [[Karabiner 98k]] pattern was used. However, the original AK kit later was considered more effective (in particular, the ramrod could allow knocking out a stuck shell), and was introduced on the subsequent MPi-KM.

[[File:East German Mpi-KMS with sling and side-folding stock.jpg|thumb|right|450px|MPi-KMS-72 - 7.62x39mm]]
 
The MPi-KM/MPi-KMS-72 are East German license-manufactured versions of the AKM/AKMS. It was introduced in 1961 and entered to regular service from 1964. Early version of the MPi-KM rifle had wooden furniture and was similar to the original AKM, but later models have distinctive stippled brown pistol and top hand grips (from 1965), and buttstocks (from 1966). In 1970 were designed the updated models, introduced into service in 1972, under the designations MPi-KM-72 and MPi-KMS-72. The MPi-KMS-72 also has a side folding single strut "coat hanger" stock, a feature which is shared with the later Romanian rifles. It is worth noting that the MPi-KMS-72 was the first version of the new rifle with a folding buttstock, taken into service, the earlier MPi-KMS (similar to the original AKMS) was not adopted.
 
Since 1984, they have been replaced by the [[AK-74|MPi AK-74]]. After the German reunification, all variants of the MPi were removed from service, with most rifles being sold as surplus to the militaries of such countries as Finland and Turkey.
 
Note: The chance of seeing a 100% original East German MPi-K series of rifle in a movie or television show is extremely unlikely.  Most of the "East German" AKs that are seen in visual media are regular AKMs using East German Parts kits.

The AKU-94 is a bullpup conversion kit for the AK type rifle, originally created and sold by American company K-VAR Corporation. Both the European style AKs (like the Romanian AKs or Egyptian Maadis) and the Chinese style of AK rifle (Type 56) can fit into the kit.  In the Mid-2000s, KVAR stopped making and selling the AKU-94 conversion kit.  All remaining kits were purchased by Century Arms International, and subsequently used to 'spruce up' AK rifles with a futuristic bullpup look.  Currently various imported AK rifles (mostly WASRs) with kit installed, is sold by Century Arms International.  This bullpup configuration retains the standard barrel length but the design makes the AK rifle more compact making it more suitable for close quarters battle.

== "AKMSU" ==
[[File:AKMSU-original.jpg|thumb|right|450px|"AKMSU" in the National Firearms Centre - 7.62x39mm]]
 
The '''AKMSU''', as used by most sources outside of IMFDB, specifically designates a custom 7.62x39mm AK-based carbine in the possession of the National Firearms Centre (of the Royal Armouries) in Leeds, United Kingdom. The AKMSU was gifted to the National Firearms Centre in 2005 by UK's MOD Pattern Room, who in turn received the weapon in June 1986. The weapon's exact background is unclear, but most authoritative sources today believe that the AKMSU is a one-off custom carbine made outside of the Soviet Union, likely made in the Khyber Pass region of Pakistan.
 
A false history came to be attributed to the weapon during the weapon's time in the MOD Pattern Room, which described it as a rare prototype carbine intended for Soviet airborne troops, before being found to be inconvenient to use and phased out by the [[AKS-74U]]; this history is refuted by the lack of Soviet documentation on a weapon of this configuration, and the fact that the AKMSU uses non-Russian AK components (see below).
 
The AKMSU's identity as a custom model is primarily evidenced by its diverse range of components: it features a [[Type 56 assault rifle|Type 56]] receiver (indicated by the rivet positions at the rear of the receiver), an AKS-74U-like barrel and handguard, an [[AKMS]]-style stock, a custom thumbhole foregrip, and a custom muzzle brake containing an expansion chamber, required for cycling.
 
The name AKMSU, following the naming pattern set by other Soviet AK variants, is short for "Автомат Калашникова Mодернизированный Складной Укороченный", or "Kalashnikov's shortened modernized assault rifle with a folding stock". It is unclear how the name was invented, attributed to the weapon, and became its common name; one of the earliest public depictions of the rifle comes from Masami Tokoi's ''AK-47 & Kalashnikov Variations'', who named it "AKMS Carbine" rather than "AKMSU".

== Converted AKM Pistol / "Krinkov" / "AKMSU" ==
[[File:AK-Krinkov.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Converted AKM pistol - 7.62x39mm. This is a blank adapted full auto transferable AKM pistol that was converted into a Krinkov via parts kit. Guns just like this one have been used in ''[[Tropic Thunder]]'', ''[[Three Kings]]'', and numerous other movies and TV shows.]]
[[File:AKPDW01.jpg|thumb|450px|right|Converted AKM pistol with RIS handguard - 7.62x39mm]]
 
Full-size 7.62x39mm AK variants converted with [[AKS-74U]] parts kits exist in recognizable quantities in Hollywood productions, such as ''[[Three Kings]]'', ''[[Tropic Thunder]]'', ''[[Bad Boys II]]'', etc. They are usually nicknamed "Krinkov", originally a nickname for the AKS-74U, by the movie production community.
 
<u>On IMFDB</u>, such carbines are commonly designated "AKMSU", even though they are configured differently from the National Firearms Centre AKMSU, and are not clones or derivatives of it.

Commonly seen in Bollywood productions due to Indian firearms restrictions, these replica AK-47s are designed to fire blank ammunition and are most likely custom fabricated by Indian armorers. Virtually all "AK-47s" seen in Bollywood movies (excepting films made with the help of the Indian military) will be such blank-firing replicas.

The '''AK-47 Beta Spetsnaz''' (stylized as "β-Spetsnaz"; Japanese: AK47 ヴェータ・スペツナズ) is a visually distinct airsoft AK-47 replica featuring [[AKS-74U]] elements an a ''very'' short foreend, shorter than that of the AKS-74U. It was originally released by Tokyo Marui in 2001. The weapon comes with a fixed stock and by default uses an airsoft AK magazine visually based on the shortened AK magazine used by the RWGŁ-3 (a.k.a. WG-GS-4).
 
Tokyo Marui also released a different airsoft AK with the foreend of the Beta Spetsnaz and an M4 stock in 2010, known as the AK47 HC.
 
Clones of the Beta Spetsnaz have been produced by Jing Gong and CYMA.

AK-47 serial number 1 - 7.62x39mm. Important note: this is the original appearance of this prototype, in the form in which it, together with the rifles under serial numbers 2 and 3, was tested in December 1947 - January 1948. It was subsequently heavily modified in 1948 when it was used along with #2 for additional testing.

The AK-47, officially Avtomat Kalashnikova (Russian: Автомат Калашникова, lit. 'Kalashnikov's automatic [rifle]'), is a select-fire, gas-operated 7.62x39mm assault rifle, developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov. The model spawned the Kalashnikov rifle family of weapon designs, whose members would be adopted by large amounts of countries as their service rifles, becoming one of the most widely used firearms in the world.

The AK-47 and its variants has been manufactured in many countries and has seen service with armed forces as well as irregular forces worldwide, and was the basis for developing many other types of individual and crew-served firearms. Multiple Communist Bloc countries manufactured copies of the AK-47 (and the AKM), some of which would go on to spawn derivative rifle families with designs distinct from Soviet/Russian designs. These include:

Note: This page specifically focuses on 7.62x39mm Soviet/Russian variants of the Kalashnikov rifle, as well as their near-identical copies manufactured by other countries. For 7.62x39mm Kalashnikov variants with distinctive designs used by other countries, please see their respective pages. For later modernized Soviet/Russian Kalashnikov variants, see the AK-74, AK-100 series, and AK-12 pages.

The AK-47 and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:

AK-46 prototype No. 1 - 7.62x39mm

The AK-46 (exact designation uncertain) is the common name for an experimental assault rifle by Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov on the basis of a self-loading carbine he developed in 1944, whose design would evolve into the AK-47. The rifle commission rejected this design in the second round of their tests, but Kalashnikov would radically revise his design and create the prototype "AK-47".

The AK-46's design had a certain resemblance to the mechanisms of the M1 Garand, specifically action with a short stroke of the gas piston located above the barrel and a rotating bolt.

There were three versions of the rifle, each slightly different from each other. The third in particular had a folding buttstock, similar to the later AKS-47.

The name AK-47, as used in the English-speaking world, refers to the oldest production variants of Kalashnikov's assault rifle design, before the introduction of the AKM. These production weapons are officially designated as the AK in Soviet sources; the name "AK-47" in Russian sources instead only refers Kalashnikov's pre-production prototypes from 1947, which feature some differences from the finalized design. In Soviet sources, the AK-74 and its variants were the first to include the year in its original naming.

These early production AK variants are divided by western firearm collectors into three distinctive types:

  • Type 1: The first production model, produced from 1948-1951. The Type 1 AK featured an early stamped receiver. It can be distinguished by a raised section of the stamped receiver underneath its charging handle, as well as a slightly differently shaped pistol grip.
  • Type 2: The second production model, produced from 1951-1957. The Type 2 AK featured a milled receiver; while it was intended for the AK to use all stamped parts for cost reasons, the Soviet metalworking industry was simply not ready to do this at the time, and the high rejection rate of the early stamped AK receivers led to a switch to milling that lasted until the introduction of the AKM. It can be distinguished by a metal stock mounting bracket on its buttstock.
  • Type 3: The third production model, produced from 1955-1959. The Type 3 AK is an improved version of the Type 2 AK, and also had a milled receiver. Most milled receiver AKs are derived from the Type 3 design. The Type 3 AK was phased out in 1959 by the improved stamped receiver AKM.

It is noteworthy that the U.S. government had a ban on all weapons imported from Warsaw Pact nations during the Cold War years (1947-1989). Communist nations which were not part of the Warsaw pact, such as Yugoslavia and Mainland China, were allowed to negotiate trade agreements with the U.S., thus the influx of Chinese AK type rifles and Yugoslavian AKs (Zastava). The Maadi ARMs (the US version of the MISR) were allowed because Egypt was never a Communist country nor a member of the Warsaw Pact. But, as a result of this, virtually no U.S. movie has a real original AK-47 prior to a certain date. The exceptions are, custom build ups after the mid 1990s when original AK-47 rifle kits were available (as was done on We Were Soldiers, using original blueprints and US-made milled receivers), and movies filmed overseas where foreign movie armorers had no such restrictions. This is particularly true for films made in Israel and some parts of Europe.

This is not the case now, with the current crop of films made outside the U.S., mostly in the newly democratic Eastern European nations (Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Poland, Czech Republic, etc.) However, Russia has firmly blocked the export of their old AK-47 surplus guns outside of the country, having distributed most of them to client nations and guerrillas throughout the world in the previous five decades. So the AK-47 one 'thinks' one sees may very well be a Poly Technologies Legend series AK (from China) or another AK Variant.

As an additional note, early production AKs used the slab sided magazine featured in Kalashnikov's original design, and the ribbed magazine design was introduced later.

Poly Tech Model AK-47S Semi-Automatic Carbine - 7.62x39mm

The AKS-47 is a variant of the AK-47 where the rear-trunion is altered with a swiveling mechanism to allow for the under-folding stock. The AKS may feature any of the three AK-47 receiver types. Very few original Russian versions of this rifle were ever allowed into the U.S. Market. The vast majority of milled receiver underfolders seen in American movies were Chinese Norinco Rifles or Chinese Polytech legend series (which was by far the most accurate Chinese clone of the original AK 47 to date). Original Russian AK (especially the milled versions) were most common in movies and tv shows filmed OUTSIDE of the USA.

AKM with GP-25 grenade launcher - 7.62x39mm / 40mm

The AKM is the improved version of the AK-47, featuring a number of refinements such as a stamped receiver (as opposed to the milled receiver of the original Type 2 and Type 3 AK-47), a slant compensator on the tip of the barrel (to reduce recoil), an improved gas tube (without vents), and use of lighter materials to reduce weight and simplify construction.

Most of the AKMs seen in Hollywood movies are actually Egyptian Maadi MISR copies, which were sold in the U.S. as the ARM in the 1980s - such weapons were first procured by Stembridge Gun Rentals for Red Dawn and subsequently re-used in numerous other motion pictures. The Maadi is almost identical to the original Soviet-built AKM, save for the markings, and is nearly impossible to tell apart.

AKMS

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
AKMS - 7.62x39mm
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Custom AKMS with shortened barrel, similar to the one seen in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Pineapple Express, Rambo and Taken - 7.62x39mm. The configuration shown here has parts from the AKMS and the Norinco Type 56-1.

Basically the same as the AKM, but the rear-trunion is altered with a swiveling mechanism to allow for the under-folding stock. The AKMS nomenclature also indicates that the rifle is not a milled receiver variant and has the AKM style of gas block, top cover, barrel assembly, front sight, and appropriate forearm furniture.

7,62-mm-Maschinenpistole „Kalaschnikow" (MPi-K) both sides - 7.62x39mm. Note: Early versions of the MPi-K has the design of front sight is different.

The MPi-K/MPi-KmS are East German license-manufactured versions of the AK/AKS. It was introduced in 1958, put into regular service in 1961, and was subsequently replaced by the MPi-KM from 1964.

One of the features of MPi-K is the absence of a cleaning rod and a socket in the buttstock for a pencil case with accessories, since instead of them a cleaning kit of the Karabiner 98k pattern was used. However, the original AK kit later was considered more effective (in particular, the ramrod could allow knocking out a stuck shell), and was introduced on the subsequent MPi-KM.

The MPi-KM/MPi-KMS-72 are East German license-manufactured versions of the AKM/AKMS. It was introduced in 1961 and entered to regular service from 1964. Early version of the MPi-KM rifle had wooden furniture and was similar to the original AKM, but later models have distinctive stippled brown pistol and top hand grips (from 1965), and buttstocks (from 1966). In 1970 were designed the updated models, introduced into service in 1972, under the designations MPi-KM-72 and MPi-KMS-72. The MPi-KMS-72 also has a side folding single strut "coat hanger" stock, a feature which is shared with the later Romanian rifles. It is worth noting that the MPi-KMS-72 was the first version of the new rifle with a folding buttstock, taken into service, the earlier MPi-KMS (similar to the original AKMS) was not adopted.

Since 1984, they have been replaced by the MPi AK-74. After the German reunification, all variants of the MPi were removed from service, with most rifles being sold as surplus to the militaries of such countries as Finland and Turkey.

Note: The chance of seeing a 100% original East German MPi-K series of rifle in a movie or television show is extremely unlikely. Most of the "East German" AKs that are seen in visual media are regular AKMs using East German Parts kits.

AK variant in AKU-94 bullpup kit with polymer magazine - 7.62x39mm

The AKU-94 is a bullpup conversion kit for the AK type rifle, originally created and sold by American company K-VAR Corporation. Both the European style AKs (like the Romanian AKs or Egyptian Maadis) and the Chinese style of AK rifle (Type 56) can fit into the kit. In the Mid-2000s, KVAR stopped making and selling the AKU-94 conversion kit. All remaining kits were purchased by Century Arms International, and subsequently used to 'spruce up' AK rifles with a futuristic bullpup look. Currently various imported AK rifles (mostly WASRs) with kit installed, is sold by Century Arms International. This bullpup configuration retains the standard barrel length but the design makes the AK rifle more compact making it more suitable for close quarters battle.

"AKMSU"

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
"AKMSU" in the National Firearms Centre - 7.62x39mm

The AKMSU, as used by most sources outside of IMFDB, specifically designates a custom 7.62x39mm AK-based carbine in the possession of the National Firearms Centre (of the Royal Armouries) in Leeds, United Kingdom. The AKMSU was gifted to the National Firearms Centre in 2005 by UK's MOD Pattern Room, who in turn received the weapon in June 1986. The weapon's exact background is unclear, but most authoritative sources today believe that the AKMSU is a one-off custom carbine made outside of the Soviet Union, likely made in the Khyber Pass region of Pakistan.

A false history came to be attributed to the weapon during the weapon's time in the MOD Pattern Room, which described it as a rare prototype carbine intended for Soviet airborne troops, before being found to be inconvenient to use and phased out by the AKS-74U; this history is refuted by the lack of Soviet documentation on a weapon of this configuration, and the fact that the AKMSU uses non-Russian AK components (see below).

The AKMSU's identity as a custom model is primarily evidenced by its diverse range of components: it features a Type 56 receiver (indicated by the rivet positions at the rear of the receiver), an AKS-74U-like barrel and handguard, an AKMS-style stock, a custom thumbhole foregrip, and a custom muzzle brake containing an expansion chamber, required for cycling.

The name AKMSU, following the naming pattern set by other Soviet AK variants, is short for "Автомат Калашникова Mодернизированный Складной Укороченный", or "Kalashnikov's shortened modernized assault rifle with a folding stock". It is unclear how the name was invented, attributed to the weapon, and became its common name; one of the earliest public depictions of the rifle comes from Masami Tokoi's AK-47 & Kalashnikov Variations, who named it "AKMS Carbine" rather than "AKMSU".

Full-size 7.62x39mm AK variants converted with AKS-74U parts kits exist in recognizable quantities in Hollywood productions, such as Three Kings, Tropic Thunder, Bad Boys II, etc. They are usually nicknamed "Krinkov", originally a nickname for the AKS-74U, by the movie production community.

On IMFDB, such carbines are commonly designated "AKMSU", even though they are configured differently from the National Firearms Centre AKMSU, and are not clones or derivatives of it.

The AK-47 Beta Spetsnaz (stylized as "β-Spetsnaz"; Japanese: AK47 ヴェータ・スペツナズ) is a visually distinct airsoft AK-47 replica featuring AKS-74U elements an a very short foreend, shorter than that of the AKS-74U. It was originally released by Tokyo Marui in 2001. The weapon comes with a fixed stock and by default uses an airsoft AK magazine visually based on the shortened AK magazine used by the RWGŁ-3 (a.k.a. WG-GS-4).

Tokyo Marui also released a different airsoft AK with the foreend of the Beta Spetsnaz and an M4 stock in 2010, known as the AK47 HC.

Clones of the Beta Spetsnaz have been produced by Jing Gong and CYMA.
