The AK-47 has seen action in numerous communist uprisings over the last six decades. It has forever changed the rules of modern warfare as it provides reliable firepower even to the least fortunate of fighting men \u2013 the untrained and unskilled who, more often than not, have none of the prerequisite military knowledge to win any kind of armed conflict. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If there\u2019s one word in the previous paragraph that AK-47 pundits swear by, that word is \u201creliable\u201d.<\/i> A serious classic<\/a>, the AK-47 is known as one of the world\u2019s most reliable firearm. In fact, because of its legendary reliability, it has become so popular that it\u2019s being produced in well over a hundred different countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Estimates put the total number of AK-47s manufactured since its year of release at over 200 million units worldwide<\/a>. No other firearms in history have been produced with such staggering figures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Doing an online search on its reliability returns thousands of independent tests done by gun enthusiasts, manufacturers and people in the military and law enforcement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sure, there will always be non-believers, people who find fault in everything (and there\u2019s no problem with that \u2013 they\u2019re the reason air bags are a thing, in a manner of speaking) \u2013 and some tend to subject their AK-47 to unnecessary abuse to prove that it too, like its major rival the M16<\/a>, has flaws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
