	AK-47 Kalashnikov rifle Durable and widely available, the AK-47 is a Russian 7.62mm assault rifle. The AK fires 100 rounds per minute even through extreme conditions such as low temperatures, from moving vehicles, and after being dunked in water, mud, or sand. One drawback is low muzzle velocity, which makes the relatively heavy round arc at long ranges. Other drawbacks are the jams, dents, and overheated barrels that can make the weapon tough to handle. But the downsides pale in comparison to what the AK-47 offers a fighter: an easy-to-maintain gun that can deliver a high volume of fire. This is why the AK-47 has been one of the most used assault rifles in the world since the early 1950s. [show more...]
Factoid: The AK-47's inventor never earned a single ruble for the 100 million AKs in the world today. He didn't patent it. Primary function: 7.62-mm assault rifle Weight: 9.4 pounds (4.3 kilograms) with 30-round curved box magazine Rate of fire: 100 rounds per minute/cyclic 600 rounds per minute Effective range: 990 feet (300 meters)
	RPK-74 Machine Gun After the new AK-74 assault rifle entered service, the RPK-74 light machine gun was developed from the rifle. [show more...]
The RPK is essentially a variant of the AKM assault rifle with a longer, heavier barrel and is fed either by a 40-round curved box magazine or a 75-round drum magazine. It can also use the AKM's 30-round box magazine. The RPKS-74 version with folding butt was intended for airborne paratroops. These machine guns differ from the AK-74 assault rifle in barrel length and weight, sight windage mechanism, butt shape, dimensions weight and the design of the recoil compensator. Primary function: 7.62 mm squad machine gun Weight: Up to 15 pounds (7 kg) depending on magazine Rate of fire: 150 rounds per minute in automatic mode Maximum effective range: 2,640 feet (800 meters)
	RPG-7 Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher A shoulder-fired, muzzle-loaded, grenade launcher, the RPG-7 fires a variety of grenades from a 40-mm launch tube. It's light enough to be fired by one person, but an assistant usually stands to the left of the gunner for protection. The launcher first ejects the grenade out 10 meters, and then the grenade's internal motor ignites and speeds it toward the target with fins that cause it to rotate slowly. Crosswinds can cut accuracy down by 50% for the gunner's first shot, but the shaped charge in the grenade can punch through all known armored vehicles. [show more...]
Factoid: In the Mogadishu ambush, it was an RPG the Somalis used to down the Blackhawk. Primary function: Shoulder fired anti-tank weapon Weight: 15.2 pounds (6.9 kilograms) Effective range: 1,640 feet (500 meters) Rate of fire: Four to six rounds per minute Ammunition: 85 mm grenade Other features: Can penetrate 260 mm armor

	AH-64A Apache helicopter Made by Boeing, the AH-64A Apache is a flying arsenal. Armed with a 30 mm chain gun, and a complement of Hydra rockets and Hellfire missiles, it�s capable of intense, close-quarter fighting, day or night, in practically all environments. [show more...]
Designed as an extremely effective tank-killer, it�s GPS navigation systems and high maneuverability allow it to pop up from behind a hill, deliver a lethal salvo of missiles, and drop down before enemy guns can engage. It has a twin-engine, four-blade design, with a two-person seating configuration. The pilot sits in back of the cockpit, aided by a Pilot Night Vision Sensor, and the co-pilot gunner sits in front, using a Target Acquisition Designation Sight to destroy armor quickly and effectively. Its only drawback is that it requires a huge ground support crew to keep it flying and fighting.
