Is AK-47 A Weapon Of Mass Destruction?

I Believe That The Weapon Of Mass Destruction Is Not The Nuclear Warheads That We Have Stored Away In Some Dark Underground Container, But The AK-47. Think About It. It Is Used In Third World Countries As It's Main Fighting Source. They Will Shoot In Whatever Condition, Whether It Has Water Or Sand In It. It Will Still Shoot. If You Agree That This Is The Real Weapon Of Mass Destruction Click For. If Not Click Against And Please Explain!!!

    The AK is not a WMD, if we removed all the AK's in the world then tomorrow a replacement gun would fill that hole, the only reason it's so famous is because of media hype. Most modern rifles shoot in almost any condition and many are more powerful and devastating than the AK.

        I do not believe so. As frankw has said, most modern military rifles will shoot in almost any condition and the AK is becoming somewhat dated.

        The ak is not a wmd. If you got rid of that one there is several others that are similar like the sks. All are made for durability to shoot in extreme conditions. A wmd is something that can kill or injure many at once. Usually one bullet is one kill.  anything can be used to harm people its wmd when it gets into the hands of people that use it to injure many with the least possible effort.

        Weapons of mass destruction are called that because they have the potential to kill many people of destroy a lot of infrastructure each time they are used.
        I suppose you could look at aggregate killing but the AK47 still doesn't add up to a WMD.
        It's good that AK47s are not WMDs.  Imagine the carnage if every poverty stricken disaffected teenage boy in a developing country had a nuclear warhead and a way to deliver it.
