Snow shovel?
Actually, General Kalashnikov did not get any royalties for inventing the AK-47. One of the perks of being a soldier in the Communist army I guess. I say let the old man make a buck off his name.

Wasn't John Browning the main designer on the US Army Colt .45?

The weapon went on to become the weapon of choice for both communist armies and many criminal and guerrilla groups worldwide. Some estimates say there are now 100 million AK-47s in existence.

Oh yeah, they just had to slip that in there.

What I would call a field mess kit...a few other odds and ends. The Kalashnikov vodka is nothing new. I have a gift set with a bottle of Kalashnikov vodka and two shot glasses sitting on my headboard since November 2001.

They were acquired in Mikhail K's retirement hometown of Izhevsk, capital of the republic of Udmurtiya, Russia. It is where the AK-47's and other firearms - including sporting rifles, shotguns, field artillery, mortars etc...are manufactured. They have the world's largest, longest indoor artillery testing range adjacent to the factory...

Dr. Kalashnikov has been a member of the NRA for years now. HISTORY Ch. did a good story on him. His meeting with Eugene Stoner was most interesting.
