Kalashnikov Family Rifles

Introduction

A Kalashnikov rifle is any one of a series of automatic rifles based on the original design of Mikhail Kalashnikov. They are officially known in Russian as "Avtomat Kalashnikova" but are widely known as Kalashnikovs, AKs, or in Russian slang, as a "Kalash". They were originally manufactured in the Soviet Union, primarily by Kalashnikov Concern, formerly Izhmash, but these rifles and their variants are now manufactured in many other countries.

CTRG groups have been known to make use of various variants of the Kalashnikov, many of which have been acquired from raids of enemy armories and have bebeen upgraded by CTRG Gunsmiths to suit operatorsoperators' needs.
