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:
- 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.
The AK-47 and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
Soviet/Russian Models
AK-46
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.

AK-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.

AKS-47
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
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.

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.

MPi-KM/MPi-KMS-72
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.

AKU-94
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"
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".

Converted AKM Pistol / "Krinkov" / "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.

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.
