The great inventor died this past Monday. Rest in Peace. I just read about it recently. Just posted in case others missed it too.
The AK-47 was known to work when other guns would jam up. Over 100 million sold worldwide. This great invention brought peace to the masses defending lives across the world.
And it has killed many people including many INNOCENT lives.
I guess to drive a car, a few innocent people will have to die. It's not like everyone is going to give up driving.
Shut up Jeffery Howard

But full auto fire is mostly for large infantry engagements. There have been relatively few of those in post-WWII conflicts.
I'm not sure that the most recent versions of the M-16 even have a full auto mode any more but instead do a three-round burst or a single shot. Full auto tends to be a serious ammo waster. Full auto could empty a 30 round clip in about three seconds.
He lived to 94 and created a weapon of death.

he was a WW2 Russian tank mechanic & great inventor. MAY HE REST IN PEACE & MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON HIS FAMILY.
If he lived in Russia his whole life; I wonder if he ever got to make serious $$$ from his invention or if the gov kept it all?
