This episode will examine Mikhail Kalashnikov's motivations and influences in creating such a significant weapon. It will also examine the numerous aspects contributing to the AK-47's prominence as one of the world's most extensively used and iconic weapons. From the weapon's beginnings shortly after World War II, to the 1956 Hungarian Uprising and the Vietnam War of 1965, the tale of the weapon will be explored from the perspectives of military historians, ex-reconnaissance personnel, a specialist AK collector, and the vital historic battles in which it was deployed.
