Yes, this is 100% possible. How do I know? Sadly, it's been done before.
50lb is the weight of the average 7 year old boy, and there have been many recorded cases of African child soldiers of that age using AK-47 in battle. In fact since the average African 7 weighs less than 50lb, you don't even need to weigh that to fire an AK-47.
You'd not be able to fire it as well as an adult, but it's still being done every day in various conflict zones.
FYI, a 50lb man would be a very sick person. Maybe dying. They may not have the strength to lift and fire an AK-47. So while a 50lb child could easily use an AK-47, a 50lb man might have to do it from a seated position because he'd be too weak to stand.

an AK is 1/5 his weight…
hardly a man if hes 50lbs
Mr Verano says
Not likely, If he's a grown man and he only weighs 50 lbs chances are there is something seriously wrong with him medically.

a 50 pound man would have trouble with a bb gun

There are kids in Africa killing people with these things.

an adult? 50 pound makes 22.6kg~ .. If we talking about a adult his condition he/she likes a mummy .. an adult who only 22,6kg can't have enough energy for fight.
He/She can manage the Kalashnikov without trouble but with this body mass he/she can't resist well under line of fire. a warrior without energy and/or focus means walking target for opponents
.. other hand If we talking about a child who carry AK47 ; aye .. child's can use AK47's too, without experience of course but they can squeeze the trigger and they can change the clip
.. but so skinny adult or a child can't resist against a well trained and geared any western soldier more than 5min. (max)

well yeah i guess he could i dont think he could run with it though or stand up with it. geez man thats a really odd question.
vangion says
Yes the AK is perfectly set up for midgets and children
Short stock
Light weight
Shooting form the hip seems to be the preferred sighting method

What kind of man weighs 50 pounds? Maybe a child weighs 50 pounds, but a grown man should weigh much much more. A child shouldn't be handling a weapon like that.

No. That's why there are derringers.
