Kalashnikov (also known as AK-47 in the West) is a 2020 Russian biographical drama directed by Konstantin Buslov about the inventor of the AK-47, Mikhail Kalashnikov. The film takes place from 1943 to 1949, and chronicles the story of how Kalashnikov went from a tanker on the Eastern Front to the inventor of the service rifle of the Soviet Union.
The following weapons were used in the film Kalashnikov:
Alexey Sudaev (Dmitry Bogdan) presents his PPS-43 at the 1943 weapons competition. In 1945, some Red Army soldiers are seen armed with PPS-43s and celebrating the defeat of Nazi Germany.
Mikhail Kalashnikov (Yuri Borisov) modifies his prototype to the PPK-42 in order to present it at state trials. His weapon, however, loses the contest to the PPS-43.
Red Army soldiers are seen at the beginning of the film armed with shoulder-slung Mosin Nagant rifles, although they are somewhat difficult to make out.
Together with the AK-47, Mikhail Kalashnikov (Yuri Borisov) creates and presents the AKS-47 at state trials. It competes against the AD-46 and the AB-46, managing to surpass them both. In the film, Kalashnikov produces and submits for trials an early development of the AK design, the AKS (S—Skladnoy or "folding"), equipped with an underfolding metal shoulder stock. The AK-47 was officially accepted by the Soviet Armed Forces in 1949 and used by the majority of the member states of the Warsaw Pact thereafter. The weapon and its derivatives quickly became legendary, the most ubiquitous assault rifle in the world since then, known for its ease of use, reliability and simplicity.
Kalashnikov's work culminates in the creation of the legendary AK-47 rifle series.
Type I
Mikhail Kalashnikov (Yuri Borisov) creates the first AK at the Degtyaryov plant, but it is not seen in the film; only the AKS is shown and submitted to state trials.
Along with the AK-47, AD-46 and other assault rifles, the AB-46 is presented at the assault rifle state trials. It competes against the AD-46 and the AKS-47.
