Along with Colt and Browning, Kalashnikov changed world history. As far as I'm concerned, he can damn well, do anything he wants.

Kalashnikov and his US counterpart Eugene Stoner (M-16) became friends in later years. Stoner died in 1997 at age 74 ... he designed various weapon systems among them the Stoner 63.

Yes, he’s the enemy, but still, what a guy! The AK is arguably the best rifle ever made. He’s a genius up there with Samuel Colt, John Browning and Barns Wallace.

Godspeed (can I say that to an old commie?) Mr. Klashnikov.

He’s old.

He’s also a fricken genius. I took apart my AK-74 last night. (I also have plenty of ARs.)

The AK is just brilliantly simple.

Why do you say that?

Cold War's over.

Are they our enemy just because they pursue their own national interests?

All I know is that I would never, ever want to be taken to the hospital in a place called Izhevsk.

“...The AK is arguably the best rifle ever made...”

More of a carbine, actually, but yes indeed... It ALWAYS goes bang, simple, effective, and easy to use.

SKS too (although he didn’t design those). Love ‘em.
