RIP Mikhail Kalashnikov

Post by Loggy »

I see Mikhail Kalashnikov has died.

Whatever your thought's on weapons, he was an Engineering Design genius. The most widespread weapon on Earth and the most reliable. RIP Mikhail...

The AK47 followed similar design principles and used a similar round size, however the mechanics of the weapon are very different from the Stg44.
