But they certainly are not banned on the World Wide Web. That URL tells me this site is in Russia. This attractively presented English-language site organizes almost anything you would ever want to know about the AK47. The rifle was developed in 1947 and chambered for the 5.45-mm cartridge. Subpages include links, modifications, history, patent, photos, bookstore, web board, feedback, credits, link back, and manual.
History gives a chronology of the modifications to the gun.
Links provides an index of link categories to accessories, air guns, ammunition, dealers, firearms forums, manufacturers, miscellaneous, organizations, personal pages, publications, shooting ranges, and sniping. Personal Pages are links to individuals' web site having to do with the AK47. The two Manufacturers pages lists links to some manufacturers I hadn't even heard of. The Facts page has more data than you'd ever want to know on the number of guns produced by firearm type, year of highest production, and ranks handgun producers by caliber. The top three rifle manufacturers, according to this web site's data, are Sturm Ruger, Marlin, and Remington.
