@doors705 The AK-47, officially known as the Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947, is one of the most recognizable and influential firearms in history. Designed by Soviet engineer Mikhail Kalashnikov, this assault rifle has become a global symbol of military power, revolution, and conflict. This essay explores the historical background, design and functionality, global impact, and legacy of the AK-47. I. Historical Background Origins and Development The aftermath of World War II highlighted the need for a reliable, lightweight, and fully automatic rifle. Mikhail Kalashnikov began designing the AK-47 in 1945 while recovering from battlefield injuries. Officially adopted by the Soviet military in 1949. Purpose and Philosophy Intended to provide Soviet soldiers with a durable and simple-to-use weapon. Reflects Soviet engineering principles of functionality, simplicity, and mass production. II. Design and Functionality Key Features Gas-operated, rotating bolt mechanism. Chambered for the 7.62×39mm cartridge. Stamped steel construction for easy production. Effective range: 300-400 meters. Reliability Performs under extreme conditions such as heat, cold, mud, and sand. Requires minimal maintenance compared to Western counterparts like the M16. Ease of Use Simple design makes it accessible to untrained users. Quickly assembled and disassembled. III. Global Impact Military Adoption Standard issue in the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc countries. Licensed and unlicensed production by numerous countries, including China (Type 56) and East Germany. Symbol of Revolution Widely used by insurgent groups, freedom fighters, and terrorist organizations. Featured on flags and emblems, such as Mozambique’s national flag. Numbers in Circulation Estimated 100 million AK-47s and its variants produced worldwide. More AK-47s exist than any other firearm in history. Ethical Concerns Easy availability contributes to prolonged conflicts. Used in child soldier recruitment and mass violence. IV. Legacy and Modern Usage Cultural Significance A symbol of power, rebellion, and resilience. Appears in films, literature, and music. Continued Relevance Remains a standard weapon for many militaries and paramilitary groups. Modernized variants (e.g., AK-74, AK-12) continue to evolve. Impact on Firearms Development Inspired designs of other assault rifles globally. Set the benchmark for durability and simplicity. Conclusion The AK-47 is more than just a firearm; it is a cultural and historical icon that has influenced warfare, politics, and society for over seven decades. Its unparalleled reliability, ease of use, and widespread availability have made it both a tool of liberation and a weapon of devastation. Understanding its impact allows us to better grasp the complexities of global conflict and the consequences of technological innovation.
Honestly, the beginning part reminded me of Weather Disaster 3, which is an EAS Scenario where 2 large and violent tornadoes end up colliding with each other, and cause extreme damage before breaking apart. Granted, the directions are different, but I can still see similarities.

Another insane chase by Jesse Gillett! Unbelievable how those two tornadoes merged for a brief moment there. Also, how wide was the last tornado? Mile wide? Lol
@@JesseGillett Thanks! I thought it was a mile wide. But I guess not but 3693 is still big. Also, the two tornadoes merging reminds me of the pilger Nebraska twins when they merged together Have u seen it?
The number of active players is getting lower and lower. I think it won't truly die bc the people who own supercomputers will keep playing, but it will never be as popular as it could have been.
Another wonderful video! Reminds me of Pilger. The one thing I am surprised about is I am able to play the main version of Twisted on an iPhone 13 Pro Max, I’ll likely be able to play on my iPhone 14 Plus when I receive it in December, the reason it’s taking Apple forever to deliver my iPhone is I got it in Gold and that is a rare color, but I will wait as long as it takes because I want that 10hr battery
That was some Into the Storm type madness right there! Well now the devs have to add the Titus. They have no choice. XD /j In all seriousness that reminded me a lot of the 2014 Pilger, NE EF4 twins, so that was cool.
Bro, I’m playing in the new update 1.21. Why did they get rid of the ability to put the Dorothy in the back of the truck? I was trying to do a film, accurate recreation of the old movie twister but now I can’t
Wow reminded me of into the storm where those 2 tornadoes made an ef5 which the Titus (if the tiv and dom had a baby) flew away because of its Bad design of deployment I mean like atleast make it drop to the ground then the spikes like Dom 3
am i not sure i JUST chased something VERY Simlar? yeah so funny story near trent a tornado was formed, and right next to it was another one that just spawned as SOON as the bigger one dissapeared!
The game has alot of bugs to fix especially on mobile for 1 you can’t use the individual blinkers 2 when you hit deploy nothing happens you have to hit like 3 times for the vehicle to deploy 3 since the buttons take up so much space there’s no room for the map on the screen so you have to constantly check the big map to navigate 4 you can’t shift your own gears you can’t individually deploy each individual stage which is a big disadvantage this means when your hitting the undeploy button for the 4th time trying to undeploy and nothing is happening this problems needs to be fixed especially the no mini map on the screen and the manual deploy and 4 the map rendering is garbage I was driving down the main road and it was not loading in I was driving on grass 🫣the time that road loaded in the tornado was far ahead of me
@@Toaster-is-me During 1.20, if you have a *pickup truck* (say, a *Dodge Ram)* and at least *one probe purchased* for it, what you do is: • Open up the *dealership menu* • Choose whatever pickup truck you own and are currently using And simply... • *Respawn your truck* -- Edit(s): • This feature was later *removed* for the *1.21 update* due to *perfomance issues,* which partly explains on why your probes *_don't_** spawn in* *your truck's bed.*
I recently got 3 Wadena Whamers, one of them dropped near Prior, then hit the southeast corner of Hazelton, sparing my upper bound home on the hill, then nearly leveled Tenkiller, then went on to hit Sneed, then Wadena, and clipped Chandler at the same time, then cored Andrusia
Man, I really love your Twisted content! I just played it last night, and now I'm already addicted to it. Keep up the good work!

Twisted is my fav roblox game! keep up the great work jesse 😄
Better than irl Storm Chasing. Keep it up!

Love your twisted content man
Cool video! Pls add music to your videos!
I know it will be a good day when Jesse uploads.
(Also for the next update please optimize the game or something because Lite is still very laggy)
I like how in his 2023 intro he used a scene from the movie Twister
Man! Great Video! But I wish that you covered the Prior Lake Tornado.
in to the storm refernces😭

Prob won't work tho don't work on low end devices
It’s so good to see Jesse and ben and jlkillen playing twisted again. Any chance do you have tips for twisted for a new starter like me Jesse?
Don't die (optional). Don't become the probe (optional)
Don’t follow the red part of storm follow the hook
If you want an intercept, get infront of the tornado, usually around 2 or 3 miles infront of it
Dont go in the middle of the storm (mistake i did)
That was some Into the Storm type madness right there!
Well now the devs have to add the Titus. They have no choice. XD

I love your vids Jesse!!!
Hey Jesse!
Where did you make your "Tornado Chasing with Jesse" into at? Just wondering
I learnt a lot of things in twisted!
Your the best channel ever
Kind of reminds me of into the Storm when the two tornadoes converge and make an EF5
I remember doing nws stuff and a multivortex EF5 touches down right inside hazelton
Bro, I’m playing in the new update 1.21. Why did they get rid of the ability to put the Dorothy in the back of the truck?
I was trying to do a film, accurate recreation of the old movie twister but now I can’t
Your intro is from the movie twister right?

Btw twisters 2 is coming July I think ,go check out the trailer

Guys the video was made exactly one year ago so that was sep 29 2023 but now it’s sep 29 2024
They made a movie about this.
Did history just repeat itself?

yeah so funny story near trent a tornado was formed, and right next to it was another one that just spawned as SOON as the bigger one dissapeared!
15:03 - That's a huge tornado
