What was AK-47 based off of?

it was based off of the ak47

the AK-47 was based of the nazi / german STG-44 in WWII when Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov, the inventor of the AK-47, was in the hospital from War wounds in WWII and based his moddel off of the STG-44 in terms of some of the apperance if u look.

here is the english wiki for it.

and by the way the RPK/RPD was based off of the AK-47 they are the same just with a 100 round / drum clip and a bi-pod on the front of the gun.

it is its own design
