Assault rifle of Kalashnikov is the most famous weapon on Earth, and his designer - Michael Timothy Kalashnikov became the known man 20 ages. There are not equal on an amount countries this automat, where he stands on the armament of army and police. The numerous doublets of this automat are produced all over the world. He is even represented on the coat of arms of Mozambique.
      Assault rifle of Kalashnikov, AK-47 (first model), and yet more - AKM (modernized), uses such glory legally. Exceptionally reliable and stand, he combines in itself exactness and power with a compactness and small weight. AKM is not afraid of water, dirt and dust. Soldier can all days long to plod on a bog, for a breast in water, failed in dirt together with a weapon, or on sands of the desert, or on snow, but when he will go out to to on fire position, an automat will be ready to the fight. All of difficult is not needed, all of necessary - not difficultly. Such was is a motto of Michael Kalashnikova at creation of the offspring.
     Good parametrs of AK:
     -Simple constructions.
     -Hi-Technology.
     -Hi reliability.
     -Good exploitations.
      An automat can be exploited in any climatic terms, at any temperatures of air, from arctic frosts to the equatorial heat. Large enough gaps in mobile details and high rates of movement of knots do his not sensitive to contaminations - it is possible, for example, to conduct a fire from an automat which right before firing fallen in dirty water or in fine sand.
      Largely an unpretentiousness is arrived at due to that energy of gas engine is substantially higher, than it is necessary for recharging clean and well smeared weapon, and this surplus allows a mechanism easily to overcome the increase of friction from contaminations.
      The automatic action of AK is based on the use of energy of gunpowder gases which are taken through the lateral opening in the wall of channel of barrel. The shock mechanism of cock type and all of details of automation is compact collected in a barrel box.
      In 1959 the automat of Kalashnikova was modernized, and a new model got the name AKM (the automat of Kalashnikova is modernized). Izhevskiy and Vyatsko-polyanskiy machine-building plants became the producers of automats of the system of Kalashnikova.
      The reliable, debugged construction of AK maximally utillizes possibilities of the chart and considered one of the best automats in the world.
