This is when it all started! 70 years ago today!

On July 6, 1947, the AK-47 went into production for the first time. The brainchild of self-taught inventor and Red Army Lieutenant General Mikhail Kalashnikov, it was one of the world's first operational assault rifles – and as of 2017, it remains the world's most popular, accounting for around a fifth of the firearms in circulation globally
