The designer of the AK-47 assault rifle dies, aged 94



Quote:

At least 75 million AK-47s are reported to have been produced since then, and the automatic rifle is credited with having killed more people than any other firearm. It is still being manufactured in the Urals region and has also been produced under license in around 30 other countries.

I've shot an AK semiautomatic before, they are pretty accurate assault rifles.

Funny that his death happened almost on the same day as Vito Rizzuto, the head of the biggest mafia family in North America based in Montreal

Those aren't bad prices, thanks for the link. It's now bookmarked.

Unfortunately, I'm broke as a joke, so it'll be some time before I can commit to the purchase.

yeah it's a pretty solid gun
and bullshit contracts with the US military prevent the standard issue M16 to upgrade to a better weapon with less jamming issues

I think knowing that would tear me apart inside, not exactly something to be proud of imo, but for some people money is everything I guess.

Very rarely will it jam. You could submerge it in mud and still fire flawlessly.

Yeah, he's partially responsible for a LOT of deaths. But at the same time it's like, If he didn't invent it someone else would, and if not, the talking monkeys would just find other ways to kill each other.

:shrug: I enjoy firearms, but I don't know if I'd like to have my name and life's work associated with something that has killed millions upon millions of people.

I found this fact about Kalashnikov very interesting tho:

Quote:

The inventor of the AK-47 did not profit from the gun
Although by some estimates there are 100 million AK-47-style assault rifles in circulation around the world, the gun's inventor, Mikhail Kalashnikov, did not become rich (unlike Eugene Stoner, the inventor of the American M16 assault rifle, who died a wealthy man). Communist states had no patents, and until its collapse in 1991, Kalashnikov was simply an employee of the Soviet Union. “I invented a weapon to save the motherland, to save the state from fascism,” he said. “My career has been dedicated to my country.”




Sounds like he was a very nice man with pure intentions for his rifle.

He isn't responsible for any deaths unless he pulled the trigger

I agree Zappa. Just the stigma of the AK having seen so much action around the world would probably rub a lot people the wrong way.
