The 7.62 x 39 caliber belongs to the category of medium cartridges, which in terms of performance are to be placed between rifle cartridges and handgun cartridges. The caliber was primarily used in assault rifles of Russia and China. The most famous weapon produced in this caliber is the AK 47, which plays a role mainly in the military field. Although the cartridge is not known for its precision, its comparatively small size and lighter weight allow it to be carried in larger quantities. With a high rate of fire, the low recoil in turn has a beneficial effect on the shooter's precision. Other calibers are preferred for hunting and sport shooting. For sport shooters, the caliber is also uninteresting in that weapons that look like fully automatic war weapons manufactured after 1945 and whose case length is less than 40 mm are excluded from sport shooting.
