Overrated. Schmeisser was on the design team, but Kalashnikov was head for political purposes.

Edison didn't personally test all 10,000 lightbulb filament candidates himself.

Actually, Kalashnikov did indeed design the prototype, but he had a team of designers and engineers who helped develop it into a working weapon, and Schmeisser may have been one.
