Best Answer

It fires the 7.62x39mm cartridge developed by the Soviet Union. These bullets are widely available in many different forms, including the 45- or 70-round drums of the RPK, which are compatible with the AK.

A LOT of Soviet weapons fire these rounds, because the Soviets were trying to standardise their ammunition to ease logistics.
