The Kalashnikov AK-47 is a Tau'ri-made firearm of the assault rifle pattern, which was designed by Russia in late 1940's.
Overview[]
The AK-47 is one of the most copied weapons in the history of assault rifles, with literally hundreds of nations making their own clones of the weapon in the years since its creation.[1] It is known to be used by Rafael's faction in Honduras, the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Cult of Setesh, while the Russian Air Force uses more modern variants.

History[]
The Russian team deployed with SG-1 to recover the missing Russian personnel on P2X-338 carried AK-pattern rifles. The Russian SG Team employed variants of the AK-47 on their mission in support of SG-1 to P3X-367. (SG1: "The Tomb", "Metamorphosis")
Alternate timeline[]
- In an alternate timeline created by Ba'al, the young Russian Officer was armed with an AK-47 which he gave to Colonel Cameron Mitchell before fleeing the Anchor research facility. Mitchell used the gun in his standoff with the alternate Teal'c and it was taken from him by the latter when they reached Praxyon. Teal'c subsequently returned the gun and Mitchell wielded it against Qetesh's Jaffa. After Carter opened the Stargate to 1929, Mitchell abandoned the weapon on Praxyon and jumped through the Stargate. (SG1: "Continuum")
