Ak

Yes every modern Assault Rifle has it roots from Early StG44 Assault rifle; principle not design. The Germans designed a round that was between the Mauser and the MP44 because the average engagement distance between soldiers on the battfield was 300 yards compared to 800 in the WWI. Yes the AK was designed on the principles of the 300 yard engagement. A short and fast round 7.62.39 in a weapon system that could delivery mass amounts of firepower by Soldiers in large sections. The StG44 has very tight design specification and precision machined parts. The Ak has large amounts of space between parts this factor alone is why the Rifles are so reliable. Reliability and the compatibility of one AK to another was the original design model.
