Avtomat Kalashnikova The AK-47/AKM Assault Rifles (VHS Video, NOT DVD)

The AK-47 is one of the most widely recognized and issued weapons in the world.  Not surprisingly, it is also one of the most influential firearm designs ever produced.  A tool of revolution as well as tyranny, the AK has spawned more variants and inspired more similar designs than virtually any other firearm.

In this video, firearms expert Clark Hodges tells the complete AK-47 story as it has never been told before.  Using rare collectors' pieces and seldom-seen prototype guns, Hodges traces the history of the design and development of the AK-47 from its origins in World War II to today's breed of state-of-the-art AK variants.  Along the way, he takes a critical look at other firearms and historical events that influenced Mikhail Kalashnikov's design.  In addition to explaining the subtle difference between the miliary and civilian versions of the many AK designs, Hodges also provides step-by-step instruction in their operation, loading, origin, disassembly, and reassembbly.  This video is the definitive reference work on the AK-47 family of weapons and an invaluable resource for historians, collectors, and gun buffs. 1995, VHS, color, approximately 65 minutes.
