Wow, I didn't realize he was still alive! Obviously he was very young during WW2 and inventing the AK47.

Good thing his last name was a pretty cool name for an automatic rifle.    ;)

There was always somebody gonna take the StG 44 and redesign it to suit the machining ability and parts available to post war soviet industry. But, like Columbus, getting the first matters a lot.

:yeahright: I'm sure there are many other inventions that have a higher death toll than an a-bomb, as of this moment anyway.
