During the Cold War, both the Warsaw Pact nations and the Chinese Communist Party were attempting to spread their bloody “People’s Revolution” all over Asia, Africa, Central and South America. Soviet, Chinese, and even Cuban “Military Advisors” were sent to spread hate and discontent and with them came the AK-47/AKM and the Chinese Type 56. 

All of these rifles were built upon the original Kalashnikov design and chambered in the 7.62x39mm Russian cartridge. The Soviets kept a close hold on their AK-74 5.45x39mm rifles. Promising rebels and revolutionaries were sold or “gifted” AK style rifles.

During the Rhodesian Bush War, the Rhodesians faced ZANLA and ZIRPA communist terrorists armed with AK’s as well as SKS rifles. Additionally, the famous Selous Scouts conducted behind the lines/cross border raids on terrorist camps and were themselves armed with captured AK’s.
