Cliff here:

The AK doesn't destroy anything a bullet wouldn't. The soul lives on
in Eternity, except where any number of Horcruxes have been made. Then
the soul remains in the hereandnow and can inhabit another being or be
subject to a rebirth following LV's potion recipe that Peter Pettigrew
carried out. But regaining a full body also collects all of the parts
of the soul to make a new mortal. Maybe an incomplete one if some of
Horcruzes have been destroyed. LV wouldn't know any of this.

A theory. One of many.
