That shaking is by design. Kalashnikov was a designer of farm implements before he was injured in WWII and subsequently designed the initial concept for the AK-47 while recovering in the hospital. He knew that its grungy operating environment was not conducive to tight tolerances (even a single piece of hard grit or gunk can stop a Luger cold, and the M-16 variants with their shitty dirty Jungmann gas piping system are what killed a lot of our men in Vietnam when McNamara switched the contract between ball and flake propellant and it all turned gummy inside the gun).
