MOSCOW (Reuters) - Mikhail Kalashnikov, the designer of the assault rifle
that has killed more people than any other firearm in the world, died on
Monday aged 94, Russian officials said.
Kalashnikov, who was in his 20s when he created the AK-47 just after World
War Two, died in his home city of Izhevsk near the Ural Mountains, where his
gun is still made, a spokesman for the Udmurtia province's president said
on state television. | S******8 发帖数: 24594 | | N*L 发帖数: 899 | | b********n 发帖数: 38600 | 4 “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 nine pound amalgamation of forged steel
and plywood, it doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It will 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.” | b********n 发帖数: 38600 | 5 killed a lot of enemies

would help farmers with their work – for example a lawnmower,” he said on
a visit to Germany in 2002.
“Whenever I look at TV and I see the weapon I invented to defend my
motherland in the hands of these bin Ladens, I ask myself the same question:
‘How did it get into their hands?’ ” Kalashnikov said in 2006. “I didn
’t put it in the hands of bandits and terrorists, and it’s not my fault
that it has mushroomed uncontrollably across the globe. Can I be blamed that
they consider it the most reliable weapon?”
“It is painful for me to see when criminal elements of all kinds fire from
my weapon,” he explained again in 2009, on his 90th birthday.
