Finger off the trigger! You figure the guy with one of the most prolific names related to firearms would know about proper firearms handling.

Anyone who has ever been under an AK-47’s fire - and lived - can never forget it.

Kalashnikov and his US counterpart Eugene Stoner (M-16) became friends in later years. Stoner died in 1997 at age 74 ... he designed various weapon systems among them the Stoner 63.

Yes, he’s the enemy, but still, what a guy! The AK is arguably the best rifle ever made. He’s a genius up there with Samuel Colt, John Browning and Barns Wallace.
Godspeed (can I say that to an old commie?) Mr. Klashnikov.

Props to a 20th-century legend. If somebody had taken him aside in Bryansk in 1941 and said, “oh, not only will you survive the Great Patriotic War, but you’ll live to 93 and be celebrated as a genius by your allies who will become your foes and then your friends later,” he’d have wondered where you got the vodka. Quite a life story.
