After the Great Patriotic War, the Soviet Union realized that modern and future combat for enlisted soldiers would consist of a range less than 300 meters. Therefore, it was deemed a waste in resources to produce a rifle for longer ranged combat. (Targets over 300 meters was designated to snipers using more powerful and more accurate rifles)
Thus, the AK - 47 was designed and produces to be the most accurate and reliable weapon for combat up to 300 meters.
Fairly inexpensive and able to function in the most adverse conditions, the AK was and still is the weapon of choice for many countries - the most widely used assault rifle in the world.

Is the MP5 better than the AK47?
Not really, if you want to blow a mans arm off, go with the ak47, if you want to raid a house, use a silenced mp5 . Depends on what the environment gives you. Desert/ AK47 Urban/ Mp5 TO ADD TO THAT... the Mp5 is a 9mm gun = weak compared to the 7.62x39mm round of the AK47. The AK47 is deadly in close range, but horrible at long range, only up to 400 meters, but the MP5 can only hit up to 150 meters. Besides the MP5 is a SMG can't really compare it to a assault rifle.---ALEX CHIEM
