Military Parade presents Kalashnikov Arms Catalog.
More than 300 models of small arms. Fully
illustrated with high quality photos. Published by Military Parade Ltd.,
Moscow, 245 pp.
Between 1950 and 1970, a series of unified
small arms weapons developed by Kalashnikov AKM, AKMS, AK-74, AKS-74, AK-74U,
RPK, RPRS, RPK-74, RPKS-74, PK, PKS, PKM, PKSM, PKT, PKTM, PKB, PKMB were
adopted.
According to various sources, about 70
million Kalashnikov assault rifles of various modifications were manufactured
by the middle of 1990, both in Russia and abroad, including those made
under license and piratically (for the invention made in the1940s Kalashnikov
has still not held a patent). Unfortunately, we could not describe in full
all modified versions of Kalashnikov small arms produced by foreign weapon
makers. Nonetheless, the versions described speak volumes about geography
of their distribution.
