要英文，别拿一段资料用有道什么的翻译。谢谢大神！！！

the ak-47 (contraction of russian: автомат калашникова образца 1947 года; avtomat kalashnikova obraztsa 1947 goda; "kalashnikov's automatic rifle model of year 1947") is a 7.62 mm assault rifle developed in the soviet union by mikhail kalashnikov in two versions: the fixed stock ak-47 and the aks-47 (s—skladnoy priklad) variant equipped with an underfolding metal shoulder stock.

design work on the ak began in 1944. in 1946 the rifle was presented for official military trials, and a year later the fixed stock version was introduced into service with select units of the red army (the folding stock model was developed later). the ak-47 was officially accepted by the soviet armed forces in 1949. it was also used by the majority of the member states of the former warsaw pact. the ak-47 was also used as a basis for the development of many other types of individual and crew-served firearms.

it was one of the first true assault rifles and, due to its durability, low production cost and ease of use, remains the most widely used assault rifle in the world - so much so that more ak-type rifles have been produced than all other assault rifles combined

The AK-47 is a selective-fire, gas-operated 7.62×39mm assault rifle, first developed in the USSR by Mikhail Kalashnikov. It is officially known as Avtomat Kalashnikova (Russian: Автомат Калашникова). It is also known as a Kalashnikov, an AK or in Russian slang, Kalash. Design work on the AK-47 began in the last year of World War II (1945). After the war in 1946, the AK-46 was presented for official military trials. In 1948 the fixed-stock version was introduced into active service with selected units of the Soviet Army. An early development of the design was the AKS (S—Skladnoy or "folding"), which was equipped with an underfolding metal shoulder stock. In 1949, the AK-47 was officially accepted by the Soviet Armed Forces[10] and used by the majority of the member states of the Warsaw Pact. The original AK-47 was one of the first assault rifles of 2nd generation, after the German StG 44.[11] Even after six decades the model and its variants remain the most widely used and popular assault rifles in the world because of their durability, low production cost, and ease of use. It has been manufactured in many countries and has seen service with armed forces as well as irregular forces worldwide. The AK-47 was the basis for developing many other types of individual and crew-served firearms.
