Hyperion5182 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Quietly probably one of the richest men on the planet. Created an Iconic weapon that will withstand the test of time and it is one of the most reliable guns on the planet. Visionary is the only real word you can apply to him.

BadPoetry Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 It's sad that his designs got used for some undesired purposes but either way, he lead to some interesting creations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalenath Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Remember when he created the weapon that eventually turned into the AK-47, his country was at war with another that wanted them exterminated. Not defeated. EXTERMINATED. The purposes that his weapons were put to have been noble, awful, heroic and brutal. He had very little to do with how so many of his weapons found their way into the hands of people willing to use violence to achieve their ends. And as for him being rich? HA! Read the history sometime. You WILL cry at how the man got robbed. Not once, but several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__Kanade__ Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 What's really interesting and awesome is that Russian Commandos in training actually do push-ups using the AK-47, not only does that require an incredible amount of balance, but all that weight is just on the end of the magazine. It really is the most reliable gun you could ever want, but unfortunately, it's also the symbol of rebellion and oppression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
