No, no, no.

AK stands for "Auto Kleening." 47 is how many years you can go without physically cleaning an AK before it malfunctions

This is the secret of the AK's reliability: A design that only every other peasant generation has to actually maintain.

How do I know? I was a secret agent during the Cold War and I stole this and other state secrets, such as KFC's Original Recipe, from the Russkies.


Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947??? The Reds are still laughing at us over their vodka for swallowing that tidbit of misinformation!
