@stableflea thats a 50/50 fact, but true, mikhail timofeyevich kalashnikov designed his weapon to defend his mother land without recieving any money or fortunes of any kind in return!
mikhail [born 1919] whas born before eugene morrison stoner [born 1922] (eugene is the designer most associated with the AR-15 jam-alot carbine fail rifle)
and mikhail kalashnikov is still alive and living very well, while eugene stoner is dead since 1997, burning in hell for every AR-15 jam ever occured! :P
