100 million rifles. 106 countries. Every major conflict since 1950.
This is the story of the AK-47 – the most widespread weapon in human history.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
In 1945, a wounded Soviet tank sergeant lay in a hospital bed, sketching weapon designs on scraps of paper. He had no engineering degree. He was a peasant's son from Siberia.
His name was Mikhail Kalashnikov. He was 25 years old.
Two years later, he would create something that would shape the entire world.
