Mikhail Kalashnikov, Creator of AK-47, Dies at 94

[newarkhiphop]

Lt. Gen. Mikhail T. Kalashnikov, the arms designer credited by the Soviet Union with creating the AK-47, the first in a series of rifles and machine guns that would indelibly associate his name with modern war and become the most abundant firearms ever made, died on Monday in Izhevsk, the capital of the Udmurtia republic, where he lived. He was 94.

The weapon, he said, was designed to protect his motherland, not to be used by terrorists or thugs. “This is a weapon of defense,” he said. “It is not a weapon for offense.”

his memory will live on.

Well, it's not a GOAT weapon but he created a simple machine gun that could survive in various environments and be easily maintainable. Field stripping an AK-47 (and semi-auto variants) is way easier than field stripping an M-16 (and AR-15 semi-auto variants). Accuracy kind of sucks.

Someone on Facebook said "his work will live on for many lifetimes (and will be used to end many lifetimes)" I couldn't agree more, if I killed you with a bong . . you wouldn't blame the bong

You don't need aim when you have 100 rounds.

Of all the weapons in the vast soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure, no one was lining up to buy their cars.
