I wouldn't say that the AK weapons are the "king of automatic weapons". They are more like the old Chrysler K-Car of automatic weapons. Or, using your analogy, more like the "pawns" of automatic weapons. They work. Reliably. But, there's very common and there's nothing fancy or special about them.

From a Civilian's perspective, the GE Minigun is the King of automatic weapons. You need to be royalty to own one. You will be the only one that anyone knows that owns one. And, when the SHTF, he who has the GE Minigun (and a barn full of ammunition) is the King.
