The AK FamilyGeneral OverviewIn military applications, the AK-47 is a select-fire weapon first introduced in 1947 by Mikhail Kalashnikov. In civilian applications, AK rifles are semi-automatic only, and probably the most frequently targetted in media and political gun-ban campaigns. Although frequently confused with the AK-47, SKSes are not related. For a good overview of the history behind this rifle, check the Wikipedia article. GunWiki is primarily concerned with how-to's, not history books.Notable variants of the AK
