Universally recognizable this is the world famous 7.62x39mm, whose primary claim to fame is that it is the round that is fired from the Kalashnikov AK-47. Ever noticed how the magazine on the AK is so curved in comparison to other weapons? Well one look at the conical nature of this cartridge shows you exactly why.....
Like the AK-47 this cartidge popped up at around the end of the second world war, but it is still in common usage today across vast swathes of the world. The trouble is, ever since the US started helping to arm friendly Iraqis and Afgans a few years ago the orders they put in for ammo means you can hardly get hold of these little beauties - fortunately, we've got a few stowed away.....
Do you want a little piece of firearms folklore? Get yourself a 7.62.39mm - they look incredible and you've got 18 characters to play with so get customizing!
