All of the AK-type firearms have a reciprocating cocking handle on the right side of the gun. The handle is rigidly attached to the bolt carrier.
To cock, the handle must be pulled back to the rear as far as it will go and then released. If a charged magazine is in the gun, this will also chamber the first round.
The AK47 was invented by Mr.Kalishnakov, In the Soviet Union.
1947
To cock an AK47 means to pull the handle back which sets the firing pin, so that when you pull the trigger the firing pin goes forward and detonates the primer thus firing a shot. The AK47 being a semiautomatic weapon ejects the fired (spent) shell, as the slide goes back to eject the shell sets the firing pin for the next round.
The AK47 is an assault rifle that's mostly used in the military all over the world.
