The Kalashnikov name will be famous for his time while the national leaders of his time will be forgoten. I salute you Mr. Kalashnikov.
But it's not the designer's fault or the weapon's fault when terrible things happen; it's the politicians',"
A wise man, too. Sleep well.
Agree. Kalishnikov has nothing to be ashamed of. Interesting comparison between the M-16 and the Kalishnikov on the History Channel that is shown sometimes. While the M-16 was more accurate and had better range- and was lighter- it jammed and could be damaged easily. The Kalishnikov was not as accurate- but nearly indestructible and would always fire- and could be used as a killing weapon itself in hand to hand fighting.
