I think I've said it before, but the invention of the AK-47 was like bringing the concept of a spear to the modern age. Sharp, effective, and _literally anyone_ can use it.
I heard 10 dollars on the North West Frontier. Also that people, "shoot shoot shoot" at everything. And accidents happen. But they can make their own AK-47s. No idea where they get the ammunition, but it does seem to be a capable proposition for a man with time on his hands.
@Bruh Momento hum depends on the perspective. Would you consider yourself the enemy when you are fighting to protect your homeland from foreign powers?
That's not what "loose tolerances" means. "Engineering tolerance is the permissible limit or limits of variation in dimensions, operating temperature, etc." It's essentially the minimal allowed level of quality control. The tighter the tolerance, the closer each individual part to the theoretical design. A 100k resistor is never 100k in practice. With 10% tolerance, it can be anywhere from 90k to 110k. With 2% tolerance, the ranges tighten to 98k to 102k. So with looser tolerances, the AK could be made by more unskilled workers, with less sophisticated tools, at a lower cost, and in higher numbers.

It's more like by the time he successfully created his gun, Sudeyev had come up with PPS-43 which have foldable buttstock (hence suitable for vehicle crews), and much simpler to manufacture.
Funny story: Someone once made a custom AK stock by using a shovel handle. The story was pretty popular that it was known as the Shovel Ak. The Shovel Ak also appeared in some games such as RUST, and Fallout 4 as the Handmade Rifle.
Ak 47 Very powerful Very easy to find Very popular Very old Very cheap rifle in AR categories Very easy to clean Very light recoil Very countable And more important is very easy to use 😉
Not cheap in the USA anymore. NATO style rifles are way cheaper now than the Ak and 7.62x39 ammo used for the ak is alot alot more expensive than nato caliber
Czechoslovakia (Czech Republic) used the "Samopal vz.58" rifle of its own production, not the AK-47. The "Samopal vz.58" is visually similar to the AK-47, but it is not a clone of the AK, it has its own construction.
@@AliAli-et7zy The weapons are only visually similar. The technical differences make them completely different weapons, a clone is out of the question. Please study the weapons in question before you write something so out of line next time.
@@AliAli-et7zy Visual similarity does not make one weapon a clone of another. You're underestimating the Sa-58. Take your time and look at some cross testing between the Ak-47 and Sa-58, there's plenty on YT. You'll be surprised how good a weapon the Sa-58 is, and that it even outperforms the Ak-47 in many aspects. Anyway, the word "clone" has no justification in a comparison between these weapons, because the technical design is diametrically opposed. Saying it's a clone because of its appearance is as meaningless as saying a self-propelled howitzer is a tank clone just because they look alike in appearance because they have tracks and a gun turret.
@@sparkplug1018 really? like them saying Kalashnikov developed the M43 7.62x39mm cartridge? When in fact it was designed by Nickolay Elizarov and Boris Semin.
The AK-47, is the definition of a user intent. You can oppress or liberate with it. In the Vietnam war GIs often switched their M-16s that kept on jamming and breaking down for enemy Viet Cong AK-47s and often preferred them in combat.
0:42 The marker for Georgia should be in the Caucasus, Georgia isn't in Turkey. And Latvia, Belarus, Lithuania, Moldova, Ukraine, and Estonia didn't become satellite states but rather they were socialist republics within the USSR
That's right. if Soviet Union somehow decided to invade Turkey in the past, we'll be on a Deserted Nuclear War aftermath World now. (and since my parents would die i never would've existed)
Fun fact: A common misconception of the AK is that all of the rifles in 7.62x39 are called the “AK-47”. Most are actually the AKM(manufactured in 1959), which was cheaper to manufacture and was lighter, with stamped steel parts instead of the original AK’s milled parts, which totaled to almost 9 pounds.
Back during the time it was first made, the ak was like a rifle, sub machinegun and a machine gun put together. Single fire capable taking care of enemies at long ranges like a semiautomatic rifle, and also full auto with the same range for suppressive fire like a machine gun, but still small and light enough to use at close range like a submachinegun
@@kysim2rk ik but he just mentioned that the ak-47 Gained much more popularity during 1947 and the further wars such as the Soviet-Afghan war or chechclear
I feel like this totally glossed over the SKS o.O I know it wasn't directly a part of the AKs evolution, but it was definitely what they were planning on using en masse before the AK, and had already started using it. Many former soviet nations and allies still use it regularly.
@@lucastonoli3256 this totally depends on definition of controllable. I havent shot the actual ak's but i have shot rk62 which is similar. And i can say that they are controllable in a sense that shots wont be all over the place but in 150m you wont hit consistently on full auto.
1:20 Ah yes, here we have a child with the dimensions of a man, wearing modern clothing while standing next to a modern tractor. Really immerses you into the setting of 192/30's siberia, doesn't it?
2:30 Kalashnikov didn't design the 7.62x39. It was made by a group of ammo experts on a decision of the Soviet army (inspired by German's STG-44) to have an intermediate ammunition to create a system of different weapons all using the same cartridge.
Was about to point that out. I'd argue commies were on track for something intermediate before 7.92 kurz became a thing, the Fedorov was kind of on track, close to the overall characteristics of a modern 6.5 Grendel in terms of overall dimensions and energy at muzzle.
No we need those. AN-94 is a joke. Hard to maintain clean, too many parts, too difficult to disassemble, have a habit for jamming. AK-47 is way better than this.
@@deathkorpstrooper8228 yes, the one with balanced out automatic system. Thing is magical. I have family in Ukraine where those things are a little more available if you know the right people. I was able to handle it once.
@@its_saval it was AK-48 was used in the army untill AKM started being mass produced there were some woerd problems about the name thats why most people call it 47
3:46 me: *watching the vid.* also me: wait, something is off *gets back 10 seconds and slows down the vid.* SCP foundation personnel: sup (the orange haired guy in the time i wrote has a SCPF logo on his shoulder)
A few errors. The original AK-47 had a milled receiver. Due to the ease of manufacturing, the AK-47 was then modernized into the AKM which contained a stamped receiver. Also the loose tolerances have nothing to do with debris. Having a loose tolerance means that the measurement of each part can range slightly in accuracy. This benefits the manufacturing process as it means that a greater amount of less accurate parts can be produced at a cheaper price without effecting the operation of the weapon.
@@HenrikSherwood Yes, I am not disputing that. I was just replying to the OP's wrong statement that the original AK, thus the type 1, had a milled receiver.
The AKM features detail improvements and enhancements that optimize the rifle for mass production. Which I meant it was the modern version of the AK47.
@@IrfanKhan-px5rk not the original M16(M16A1). It had a habit of Jamming in the Vietnamese forests, which is why a better model was created. The M16A2.
Lets be honest,guns are one of the coolest achievements humanity has ever gotten(im not the kind of person that likes wars btw,im a simple guy who just wants the world to be peaceful)
when I first fired an AK-47 I didn’t know how to use its iron sight and the recoil was so powerful that the round completely missed the target. After that I didn’t bother to aim properly anymore LOL.
The recoil shouldn't have affected the first shot and the 7.62 x 39 is considered a very mild recoiling rifle. Maybe start with a .22 to learn the basics and work your way up. I've seen if people develop a flinch early from being scared of the recoil of a gun that it takes a lot of practice to stop it. When one works up in increments, many can shoot quite powerful rounds.
the many versions of the AK: AK-47: the standard AK-74: AK-47 but 5.45x39mm AK-74u: AK-74 but small RPK: AK-47 but L O N G RPD: RPK but old PKM: AK-47 but upside down.
As in India arms are illegeal, and only revolvers are the arms that can be kept that also with proper paperwork and license. So i am not able to use any. But my father is in Indian police "Special Task Force". So he frequently fires Ak-47 and several other automatic guns at firing range. He told me that AK-47 is a beast. It can work in any condition, also is really effective till 200m. But the real beast for 400m-800m is 303 Lee-Enfield rifles. This gun is highly accurate, is still used in indian police lower ranks.
