The
AK-47 is a gas-operated assault rifle that is chambered for the 7.62×39mm cartridge. Developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov, it is the originating firearm of the Kalashnikov family of rifles. After more than seven decades, the
AK-47 model and its variants remain the most popular and widely used rifles and the weapon of choice of revolutionaries all around the world. The
AK-47 has become a symbol of the
revolutionary flag in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Colombia, and Mozambique. Conversely, throughout the developing world, the
AK-47 can be positively attributed with revolutionaries against foreign occupation,
imperialism, or colonialism.
Guerrilla warfare is a form of irregular warfare in which small groups of combatants, such as paramilitary personnel, armed civilians, or irregulars, use military tactics including ambushes,
sabotage, raids, petty warfare, hit-and-run tactics, and mobility, to
fight a larger and less-mobile traditional military.
