Revision as of 19:42, 17 April 2008

The AK-47 and variants are used by the following actors in the following movies, television series, anime, and video games:

NOTE: Please keep in mind that while "AK-47" is often a catch-all term for 7.62x39mm Kalashnikov rifles, most so-called "AK-47s" in movies are actually derivatives of the AKM, which features a stamped receiver and many improvements. Please check carefully to make sure that the rifle in question is an AK-47 and not an AKM. When in doubt, it is probably safer to assume AKM, since the old AK-47 has not been in production for many, many years and is no longer as common in the real world - or Hollywood's rental armories - as its successor.

Original AK-47 design, hybrid stamped/milled receiver; 7.62x39mm.
Milled Receiver AK-47 design; 7.62x39mm.
