AK-47 Inventor Mikhail Kalashnikov Dies by olokfor: 6:03pm On Dec 23, 2013 |
The inventor of the Kalashnikov assault rifle, Mikhail Kalashnikov, has died aged 94, Russian TV reports. The automatic rifle he designed became one of the world’s most familiar and widely used weapons. Its comparative simplicity made it cheap to manufacture, as well as reliable and easy to maintain. Although honoured by the state, Kalashnikov made little money from his gun. He once said he would have been better off designing a lawn mower. Mikhail Kalashnikov was admitted to hospital with internal bleeding in November. He was born on 10 November 1919 in western Siberia, one of 18 children. www.metronaija.com/photo-ak-47-inventor-mikhail-kalashnikov-dies/ 1 Like

Arguably, Mikhail Kalashnikov's invention of the AK47 assault rifle is the most influential event to have taken place throughout the entirety of post-WW2 global geo-politics till date. Easy to disassemble for cleaning without tools, able to fire reliably even when caked in dirt, and with a virtually unlimited operational lifespan, the ubiquitous AK47 has been issued to more infrantry-men than any other weapon designed over the course of human evolution thus far. From the shifting war zones of the Middle East, to the brush-fire conflicts of sub-Saharan Africa, to the jungled mountain peaks of Pacific Rim nations where insurgency rages, to the mean streets of inner-city America, the AK47 "chopper" is the meat-grinder of choice, wherever high body-counts at low cost are what is desired. The AK47 easily out-sells all other assault rifle variants put together. Eugene Stoner, the inventor of the Colt M16 assault rifle that is standard issue in most branches of the US armed forces, would turn in his grave if he could only have seen the global noteriety that Mikhail Kalashnikov, his Russian contemporary, garnered for his far more popular death-dealing invention - the Avtomat Kalashnikova 47. 22 Likes |
