2The AK in the Media
The Kalashnikov shows up in films, on the news and even on a national flag. In GoldenEye (1995) Bond carries an AKS-74U, and for decades movies gave the AK to the villain. The rifle appears on the flag of Mozambique and in the coat of arms of several countries. On the news it became shorthand for any rifle, which is why AK-47.us started explaining the real differences between models in 2002.
