The AK-47
Manage episode 496025378 series 2739686
In 1946, a former Soviet tank mechanic who had formal training in engineering or manufacturing submitted a design for a new gun in a competition.
His design was selected, and it became the new rifle for the Soviet military.
However, it didn’t just become a weapon for the Soviet Union; the design spread and within decades was being used all around the world in almost every armed conflict.
Learn more about the AK-47 and how it managed to change warfare in the 20th century on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
