he very loudly denies any German influence from the (Sturmgewehr). Quite a coincidence:
Sturmgewehr:
AK-47

Mik must be thinking of the Russian PPSh-41, which many Germans (esp. at Stalingrad) preferred to their own machine-pistol. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PPSh-41
For him to say that he didn't borrow from their Sturmgehwehr would be like us saying we didn't borrow from the German MG-42 in designing the M-60.
It just ain't so.

Always cracked me up to see him on "Tales of the Gun" get so agitated about it. So what if you stole you got a medal!
