Mikhail Kalashnikov, the great Russian general, and inventor had an old maxim. He would say “Man does not need what is complicated, but the most useful things to man are simple.” That simplicity is reflected in the design of his rifle, known for its legendary reliability, due to its uncomplicated design.
If only life was that simple. The old Russian hero, who died in 2013 at the age of 94, never wanted to be a weapons designer. He wanted to invent agricultural equipment before life in his country changed drastically due to WWII. He was called to defend the Motherland as a tank commander.
There, he developed the world's most famous rifle; he always joked that had he gotten a chance to built a lawnmower, it would have probably looked like an AK anyway.
