==Trivia==
*The AK-47 is by far the most durable weapon on the modern battlefield. This is due to the weapon's ability to withstand the elements and being a weapon needing little maintenance. 
*The AK-47's creator Mikhail Kalashnikov was recuperating in from injuries sustained in WW2 when he designed this weapon. He wasn't compensated for the creation of this rifle, but rather recognized as a hero in the eyes of the Soviet Union. He died on December 23, 2013 at the age of 94.
*Kalashnikov was believed to have based the AK design off the German STG-44, however others speculate the STG-44 was also the inspiration for the SKS which came out by 1945.
*The AK-47 seen in Ambushed was used without a pistol grip due to the fact that in California, assault rifles possessing them are illegal.
