    Inventor of AK-47 rifle Mikhail Kalashnikov dies at 94



    The inventor of the iconic AK-47 assault rifle, Mikhail Kalashnikov, has died at the age of 94. His ingenuity earned him widespread admiration, but his legacy became more controversial when his weapons were used in some of the world’s bloodiest conflicts.

    siya ang may kasalanan kung bat napahiya ang M-16.. heh heh.
    the AK was built for pang-harabas with no maintenance, but delivered not-so-good precision..
    the M-16 was a precision instrument designed to deliver precision, but required regular maintenance..

    That's what i noticed about the US military...their weapons/equipment are getting more high-tech, but they don't seem to realize how high maintenance they are, or if they'll work well in the field. They're just one good EMP blast away from total defeat

    Haven't they learned the lessons of the movies Battleship, Independence Day, or even Pacific Rim? Sabagay they still have the M2 machine gun, B-52's A-10's :D

    ^marketing, thats one area where the american military complex are good at while the upkeep of equipment is an extended effort to milk their customers dry.

    both have good effect though as far as the americans are concerned, it bolster their economy
