The Perfect Soldier Machine

Born on the battlefield and forged by necessity, the Kalashnikov Avtomat Model 1947 was the product of a practical mind and ruthless warfare. Its exhaust-powered reloading system made it a robust, reliable, and easy-to-maintain rifle, even in the most extreme conditions.

One of its most iconic elements is the curved magazine , designed to adapt to the shape of the cartridges and allow for greater capacity in less space, providing not only functionality but also an unmistakable silhouette.

Officially adopted by the Red Army in 1949 , the AK-47 replaced the veteran PPSh-41 and became the lifeblood of the Soviet soldier. Its effectiveness, low production cost, and ease of use made it the preferred weapon of choice for all Warsaw Pact countries , extending its influence from Eastern Europe to Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

For decades, the AK-47 was more than a weapon: it was a symbol of insurgency, resistance, and revolution , present in the hands of armies, guerrillas, and revolutionary movements around the world.

This faithful Denix replica is constructed of genuine wood and high-quality metal , accurately reproducing the design and proportions of the original rifle.
