It's famous because of its cheap cost (as low as $35~$130 to make one in nations like Rwanda and Ethiopia) and extreme firepower that is readily available almost anywhere.

The ak-47 is known for its high pierce power, heavy recoil (due to the catridge ejection mechanism), and insane durability. It's known that an ak-47 can be dropped from a building, tossed into mud, but will continue to work.

Also, the ak-47 is famous since it's the most common assault rifle in history; armies, gangs, terrorists, triads, police, militia, and even civilians often use it.

Finally, the ak is famous since many guns, such as the H&K G3, Israeli Galil, AN-90, and AK-74 are modelled after the ak-47.
