#Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov

[thepastisalreadywritten]

AK-47

AK-47, Soviet assault rifle, possibly the most widely used shoulder weapon in the world.

The initials 'AK' represent Avtomat Kalashnikova (Russian for "automatic Kalashnikov") for its designer, Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov, who designed the accepted version of the weapon in 1947.

Kalashnikov says he regrets inventing the weapon. But personally, weapons don't take people's lives. People do.

Cars, tools, or any object can be used as a weapon. The real weapon lies in the minds of those who use weapons for bad reasons.
