The Russians just stole this model, modified it a little and here we are: AK 47 in half of the world.
Actully the internals differ greatly, only the outside design are alike. The MP44 has many other parts, and a fully different gas system. Its like Oranges and Apples minus you have a blood orange so on the outside its the same.
In fact the prototype AK looked compleatly different.

The only real changes to production was a traditional guard in place of the vent guard that we see on the Ppsh, with a larger gas system for the 7.62 x 39 round, in place of the 7.62 x 25. Reflecting changes in Soviet Tactical Command thinking, to handle the larger round the internal reciever had to be made longer to take the new larger magazine. So in short you get the iconic apperance of today.
I find blades and guns are the true masterpeices of humanity, able to endure forces, preassures and just the general needs of the operator, its just amazing when you think of it. Its often said, the gunbarrle is one of the hardest things to perfect alongside the circle.
And 22's and Mossbergs?
Pft Whimps.
A Real shooter has a Saiga and 22's that look like AR's are just the "fail lulz" well then again the 223 is not an impressive round to start with. Nevermind the weapon thats known to use it being highly over priced and prone to jamming. Why I prefer the AK and my Mosins. Power, Reach, Reliability. I do have a 22 for plinking though. Nothing I ever use for serrious shooting however. Eventually one of my kids will get it. Nothings wrong with being a shooter or a hunter.
Responsible Gun ownership is not a crime. And most people who do use them for criminal use its 9 times out of 10, an unmarked weapon, an illegal weapon, or owned by a person who can't legally even own a weapon. Nevermind things like "drugs" or uncommited sex has led to more deaths via STD's and Overdoses than any number of gun crimes and most of modern warfare. But hey thats what the "cool" kids are into.
But I just have no respect for the 223. Shoot a brick wall with it, leaves a nice dent, 7.62x39, makes a crack. 7.62x54r, lulz what wall? You mean this pile of dust? Packs alot of recoil though. This Link puts it better than me lol Most of its actully True
http://7.62x54r.net/.../MosinHumor.htm Well minus saddly the Mosin has only got a 1000 yard site, and the ability to shoot someone a mile an half away lol.
As far as Mossbergs go its a solid easy shotgun for beginers, but I never have cared for pump designs. I prefer detachable mags. A Technology that untill now hasn't been highly used minus with a few weapons back in the 1950's in terms of Shotguns.
