The AK-46 prototype had a safety catch separate from the fire selector and its charging handle on the left hand side, but they inconveniently poked users in the ribs when slung like Western submachine guns, which explains why they were moved to the right-hand side. This also prevents the possibility of unintentional discharge when reloading, because any soldier using his trigger hand to change the magazine while his off-hand holds the rifle by the fore-stock cannot accidentally yank the trigger when under stress.
As is all too often the case with Russian technology, "Western capitalist control ergonomics" was an afterthought at best, with the fire selector-safety lever and charging handle being attached to the right note The AK was designed for a very traditional manual-of-arms which calls for using the right hand to do just about everything, from racking the bolt to changing the magazine. Thankfully, the AK is easy to field-strip and can be cleaned afterwards by throwing water on the mud-stained components. Thanks to the large gas piston, chrome-lined barrel and chamber, and generous clearances between parts, it has an almost legendary reputation for reliability note dry dirt, fouling, sand, or snow will not jam the AK, but thick mud will do so. It is notable for its distinctive long gas tube, wooden furniture, and a curved 30-round magazine (often likened to the shape of a banana). The AK fires 7.62x39mm rounds originally used by the late-war RPD and SKS. In 1949, it passed the military tests and was put into service with the official name "7.62-мм автомат Калашникова обр. The design of the rifle was finished in 1947 (under the working title "Miktim"short for "Mikhail Timofeyovich") after competing with other prototype assault rifles. As its name implies, it was designed by Mikhail Timofeyovich Kalashnikov, a tank commander who was inspired to create an automatic rifle after being pulled off active duty thanks to a shoulder injury and overhearing complaints from other injured soldiers about their then-current weapons. Here, it is used to distinguish the first-pattern AKs from later versions and variants like the AKM, as it is commonly called, is probably the most common and well-known assault rifle. The term came about based on the US practice of designating weapons based on their year of first appearance (in this case, 1947).

note From top to bottom: AKS-47, AKM, Type 56The AK (Avtomat Kalashnikova, meaning "Kalashnikov's Automatic"), or AK-47 note Though the weapon is commonly referred to as such, it should be noted that the name "АК-47" was almost never used by the Soviet military there have been reports of the very early Soviet manuals where the rifle was indeed called AK-47, but the practice was apparently abandoned very quickly. This option may be re-enabled by the project by placing a file with the name ".The Soviet assault rifle. NOTE: As of directory index display has been disabled by default.
