The AK-47 and its descendants are or have been manufactured in the following countries: Egypt, China, North Korea, East Germany, Poland, Yugoslavia, Romania, Iraq, and Bulgaria. Certainly more have been produced elsewhere, but the above were major producers. The AKM design is still in production in Russia, now in a modernized form. The Basic design of the AK-47 has used as the basis for other successful designs such as the Finnish Valmet 62/76, the Israeli Galil, and the Indian INSAS. Several bullpup designs have surfaced although none has been produced in quantity. While it's common to give credit to the AK-47 for many piston-operated automatic weapons made today, virtually all features of the AK-47 were proven before the AK-47 on other weapons.
