Mikhail Kalashnikov

Sort by rating

People often ask me how I feel about my invention being used to kill people every day and the AK being a common weapon of ethnic conflicts. I want to make it clear that I created my assault rifle to protect my country. You can blame politicians for its spreading out of control on a global scale.

I made it to protect the motherland.

I had to gain experience as I did not have a technical education.

I have continued to work at different things, and rebuilt my home all by myself. I did it for the sake of satisfaction at doing something. I did it because I happened to be where I was.

I'm proud of my invention, but I'm sad that it is used by terrorists.

The fact that people die because of an AK-47 is not because of the designer, but because of politics.

We had grain but no mills, so I designed a special mill of wood so we could make flour.

Any designer believes his gun is the best, and when its test performance is a bit less impressive compared to others, he feels bitterness and envy.

I shot with it a lot. I still do now. That is why I am hard of hearing.
