I don't think they're saying that it's some kind of super powerful weapon, just that if you need an armored car, you're very likely to be shot at by an AK-47.
The AK-47 is one of the most prolific weapons on the planet. Estimates are that there have been close to 100 million of them produced. Ever notice what the "bad guys" are always carrying in the videos of far away, scary places? It's usually an AK-47, or some variant/derivative of the Kalashnikov design: AKM, AK-74, RPK, etc.
