I know, I guess responsible wasn't the right word. I'm just saying, he created a weapon that has been used to kill a shitload of people. I don't blame him personally at all.
And that thing kr0niko posted is cool, It definitely doesn't seem like he had any evil intentions

I'm not so sure that he really did profit much. He was a Soviet thrall.

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 didn't

He didn't what?

“[...]the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”

I havn't heard that argument anywhere else.
He is an inventor and a scientist.
He isn't responsible for all the deaths in any way.
Guns are a tool we have. They are a tool and the way they are used is up to the user.

Winchester and Colt must've been some real sons of bitches too then if Kalashnikov is.

Colt was a literal genius, read up.

OMFG!!!!!
There are people on the Internet with common sense, good logic and a good true idea of moral character! Thank you, Zappa for actually making sense.
Oh and some of you good do well with some firearm education. If we're going to talk about them it's be better if we all had some solid knowledge...
Like what cartridge does it fire, barrel length, what you call that little safety switch that turns into a single shot or a fully automatic, it's maximum range...things like this would be good for everyone to know before discussing a firearm. General knowledge is a good thing.
Too many COD freaks not enough realists.

AK-47 is a great gun. One shot head shot even with kelvar, stopping power, good mid to long distance.
