Smitty79 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I am not sure I worry about his politics. Long ago and far away, I did a degree in Physics. Respect the great physicists of Russia and the USSR as much as those from the USA. I suspect that Kalashnikov is second only to JMB in the list of the top 10 small arms designer of all times. Read something of Kalishnikov's biography, he was a destitute peasant who made good. I can honor that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedog Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Not his fault when and where he was born. A brilliant gun designer. Rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
