Why were 75 million AK47s produced, you think because they're shitty unreliable firearms?
Look we get that you don't like Putin but you're spamming shitty propaganda right now.
They where produced in such numbers because at the time USSR had no other viable assault rifle and largest standing army in the world and since USSR was spreading its communist revolution they needed the numbers to export to countries that constantly where engulfed in proxy wars/conflicts.
Also aks are very cheap to mass produce, however its nowhere near "the perfect weapon" every CS kid makes it out to be:
A - It will still fail/go into bolt action mode (2nd due to bad design and friction)
B - its original rounds dive hard starting at medium range, and got forbid you attempt using the non-original Pe silencer which USSR/Russia never exported and has enough only for special forces
C - small components are as shit as anything USSR/Russia produces that requires dexterity to make, one of the worst offenders being its trunions
Still I never said AK was a shit gun, it was well ahead its time when it first came out, but over time AR caught up to it, and thats precisely the reason the new Ak-12 transferred to AR-15 like modular components.
