| − | When the Russian '''Mikhail Kalashnikov''' was injured in the '''Battle of Bryansk''' it led him thinking of his own assault rifle. Soon after working with other designs, Kalashnikov entered a competition for a new firearm that would use the the '''7.62 x 39 mm cartridge''' which was developed by Elisarov and Semin in 1943. One requirement in the competition was that the weapon was reliable in the muddy, wet, and frozen condition of the Soviet frontline. So using the design of the [[PPS-43]] Kalashnikov designed the ''"Mikhtim"'' won after it was dragged throught mud, sand, and dust and still was able to fire without jamming. The ''"Mikhtim"'' was the prototype for the development of a family of firearms which culminated in the AK-47 in 1947 |

| − | There were difficulties in the beginning of the production of the AK-47 because the first models had stamped sheet metal receivers and difficulties were encountered in welding the guide and ejector rails. But instead of halting the production, a heavy machined receiver substituted for the original receiver. Because of these problems the [[Russian|Soviet Union]] couldn't distribute a large number of the firearms to their [[soldier]]s. |
