Explanation

The '47' in AK-47 stands for 1947, the year Mikhail Kalashnikov designed the assault rifle. 'AK' stands for Avtomat Kalashnikova. The number does not refer to bullet capacity, weight, licensing countries, or series number - it specifically commemorates the design year. The rifle was indeed manufactured in 1947.
