The original AK-47 had a cyclic rate of fire of 700 rounds per minute. The "modernized" AKM (manufactured from 1959 onwards) had a cyclic rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute. Cyclic rate of fire meaning that, if you had a magazine with such a capacity loaded, and you just held down the trigger, and you could fire off as many rounds without the weapon overheating and becoming defective.
