there is breaking news tonight and we are continuing to follow the breaking news including the alexander family cry tears of joy at your grave things out there that there's. a wall around. there's a story made sort of movies playing out in real life. one of the new will come on in a lot of these new policies i think sometimes you know you've known. her lead was. a pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm real researcher.

true without firing a single. who kills that distinction belongs to the nut who pulls my trachea. as. a group from russia's interior ministry. information.

is taken to terrorist operations across russia. they have a. choice is still. there. the. special training. procedure. to be tested in sochi is. tough a testing ground. for. two units in a field. the rifles designed. to be subjected to a severe test. he couldn't see it with his. new

variant. goes through seven stages first the gun is placed into what's known as the dust chamber where the room is filled with sand. and dust chambers filled with fine particles of silica sand the next stage will lead us to the sprinkler room it imitates a subtropical climate when u.s. commandos fought in the hot and humid conditions often prompted them to improvise with captured kalashnikovs. sixteen rifles kalashnikovs wealth and such a climate. gunsmith. came up with a prototype for his celebrated rifle at least age of twenty two he says about

designing it off to he was wounded in action during the second world war recognition of his achievements. later in one nine hundred forty seven when his model came first in a defense ministry firearm design contest the new weapon was designated a forty seven. i took care to think over every single part to make them more technologically suitable for mass production. at the same time i needed to make sure that the gun was as reliable and durable as its design dictates that was not an easy task but in general any designer must be very careful with regard to every detail of the design the. vietnam war veterans frequents this firing range in the u.s. state of virginia it was here in the nine hundred ninety s. after the end of the cold war that the a k forty seven was designed as met their american m. sixteen counterparts following the gathering. put his signature on one of the

rifles belonging to the club and this is russian ammunition. so it i'm sure it'll work well. general kalashnikov autographed this piece so this is quite a rare piece and when we shoot it i'm going to everybody. because we don't want to smear the signature of. a kalashnikov assault rifles mainly assembled by. people working with the machine building the city will never say weapons. they were simply the product some sleazy very simply a case of being turned out he has in one thousand nine hundred forty seven people across the board instantly recognized the kalashnikov that is the most widespread firearm in the world today. the rifle is not only functional but it's also

a handsome model. likes to say that it cries out to be touched most of the workers at the machine building blonde women it's told they handle the mechanical operations requiring constant attention of them and they know the rifle inside and out even though the weapon is intended primarily on them so i often have to teach male workers not only the newcomers but also those who already know their job well when i watch films on t.v. i instantly recognize something made in our shop gives me great joy to see our products on screen. the first batch of kalashnikovs made in nine hundred forty seven was kept secret so much so that offices concealed weapons in cases and collected used cartridges when the five point four five millimeter variant appeared in nine hundred seventy four the situation was quite different because brenda gained fame fall beyond soviet borders off to the vietnam war. the special forces were some of the first to appreciate the benefits of the five point four five

millimeter version. tightening had improved it was also much lighter and the world no complaints about harsh operating. missions. that. he kalashnikov rifle is much more reliable than sixteen. and far less from his creation than his american counterpart. they came from a completely different socio economic and political backgrounds in russia kalashnikov was honored as a national hero a regional icon but received no compensation stoner received a dollar a rifle for a royalty course they sold millions of them and so in the united states few people know who stoner is although he became wealthy from the us and russia and many people know him but he didn't become wealthy for. different approaches different societies different values. new recruits

a russian military schools are required to learn to strip. in fifteen seconds then within the same time limit the gun must be reassembled and ready to fire. this is a reliable weapon from it's a personal weapon that all students must have a good knowledge of down to the smallest part. sometimes they even have to take it apart and reassemble it and clean it while they're blindfolded. successfully post initial tests take an oath of allegiance to the ritual goes back to the mid seventeenth century and since the one nine hundred fifty s. it's featured full dress uniform and. yet i. do hereby swear allegiance to my country after taking the oath.

to use that weapon to protect russia's interests. ah i. ah la county mumble means thank you in mozambique the words of the song sung by these freedom fighters could just as easily be addressed to mr kalashnikov in the early one nine hundred sixty s. the soviet union hopes the portuguese colony spied for. the rebels quickly got a feel for the soviet rifle after their victory it became a national symbol. the sea in the middle of the. flag we have yet the star. and the book the who and. the book signifies education and the whole petition that agriculture

for. the. struggle for me but issue of all counts. that is for all these. times to be a shift machine building around the clock in a big old cold internationalists. the employees joke that because everyone in the plant was like robots if they were able to find another job at a factory making. the product would still be a kalashnikov. what's going to get. closed. in a week they have regular jobs but it weekends these people this stuff the officers the battle dress. to kalashnikovs but these weapons a loaded with plastic bowls instead of bullets flourishes no making

a kalashnikov with a difference some call them fake because they kill everything else about these rifles remains true to the original. design and appearance. everyone can feel like a real soldier. it's not a fake but rather a genuine kalashnikov basically this is the first attempt to use an electric mechanism to combat weapon to a game of airsoft. this thing is assembled from the same materials the same production lines as regular kalashnikov assault rifles. played by people fed up with the routine of everyday life. but in fact the purpose of soft is to achieve real. in the future as a cost effective method of tactical training. for the. men and

women alike are only just beginning to get. the iconic. very strong because i am a young woman when i first began doing it my hands. but now i feel they have been getting stronger with training exercise i find that. right. there is another side to the popularity of the. as one war comes to an end. profits by buying up used kalashnikovs and selling them in. after the soviet union pulled its troops out of. a single rifle cost a mere fifteen dollars a day the price for a functional kalashnikov in the middle east is around one thousand dollars. we use this rifle as the main weapon of our struggle because it never misses targets. has proven its reputation

and demonstrated its steadiness in complex conditions. in the 1980's the cia supplied the afghan mujahideen with thousands of chinese made kalashnikovs. it was the first time that soviet designed with guns were used against soviet soldiers in the twenty first century though those same firearms turned against the united states. government might nato forces using the very one close that the us both for them so long ago. russian military schools are undergoing weapons training on a tank range missile kalashnikov himself began his military service in russia as a division. forty seven his first invention as were related to vehicles but they could not be implemented because of the onset of world war two. miraculously

survived after being wounded when his tank called fun as a result he couldn't resume active service and so he devoted his efforts to designing smaller. the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and our press we've been hijacked why a handful of transnational corporations will profit by destroying what our founding fathers. and on this show we revealed. picture of what's actually going on

while we go beyond identifying trucks rational debate real discussion critical issues facing america for ready to join the movement. a. wealthy british style psychos. market. is going to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max cause or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kaiser report. the first assault rifle models designed by mr kalashnikov's gained popularity

because they will waterproof and later version was made for cartridges smaller than the seven point six two millimeter original the day of the gun jammed. to know for an engineering either before or after that time it didn't take him long to resolve a problem that many of his colleagues would be unable to cope with the result was the a case seventy four variant which used five point four five millimeter cartridges just like its older brother is to was made to prove. today critics often claim that the a k. is outdated but professionals know that any changes to make it more fashionable looking would inevitably affect its most important feature reliability yeah yeah. you would. need these soldiers are all set for another axis. distinguishing.

that if. they would be the world's best special forces units. after the decision was made to select this weapon as the new soviet assault rifle the russians immediately began improvements on it even before it was issued. and they kept improving it working on every feature of the rifle to optimize performance. the difference in that story is when the united states selected the m. sixteen rifle from colt they forced. the rifle to be issued for combat use before adequate testing the united states government literally did nothing for fifteen to twenty years after world war two to get serious about a lightweight semi automatic rifle.

and then put the safety back on the impact and we were shooting it twenty five yards the bullet is not fast but it's a heavy pounding bullet very effective. especially. skeptical. even in. the. other german specialists contributed to the development of the. inventor.

together claiming that it was made by some ordinary sergeant. since nine hundred forty nine. claims that they took advice from. so many times they think the debate is pointless. this place is awash with rumors it's no secret that the german designer worked in this building after the war i've seen an article on the internet claiming that he gave casual advice to the young mikhail kalashnikov just in passing it sounds ludicrous . work was a carefully guarded secret obviously he had no access to it. to be carried through these men are ready to face is. special

being trained to have. the same conditions. police for. his wife is designed. for the fact that he had many ideas but they had come from his soviet colleagues from. kalashnikov was able to integrate various solutions with design to best advantage. the new assault rifle much more than. whenever a kalashnikov run out of ammunition it was still very useful in fighting. fire and could resume.

any. illiterate person in the world operated disassemble it for basically if any and use them under all conditions they have a documentary once history channel. where they were talking about the afghans using the case in afghanistan and they had no concept of clean it why would you do that and so they said they finally taught them to take their shoelaces off time in a not dip it in motor oil and pull that shoestring through the board said there was cleaners with clean enough. one kalashnikov made his weapon in nine hundred forty seven the soviet army desperately needed a modern assault rifle. was a timely solution over time kalashnikov created a wide variety of rifles and machine guns. reeking he has a concept formulated by one person is built into all these items it is on is based

on a single principle into changeable the fact that this broad range of weapons has been designed by one person that makes them very convenient. in the early one nine hundred ninety s. mikhail kalashnikov had his first opportunity to attend international small firearms exhibitions. times and changed. billion weapons for hunting and sporting purposes with being developed based on his rifle kalashnikov personally test of the new models as he had always done for his products. a semiautomatic shotgun based on the kalashnikov takes less than a couple of seconds to be ready to fire the united states up attentional and bursaries has been one of the most active customers for the russian made. for them

to have media because they're americans of compared to if. i got twelve design of this show guns based on the kalashnikov assault rifle as it turns out so i got twelve is a more attractive weapon is more powerful and capable of more effective rapid fire . i mean the americans had to swallow their pride and earlier this year a plant signed contracts with the americans for thousands of so i got twelve units to be supplied to the police force. but those. models are assembled in the same shop and goes through the same quality control tests before being shipped to a customer or we're entering the freezer now to pick up the assault rifle. it's been exposed to temperatures of up to minus fifty degrees celsius for nearly an hour. my mother but in my experience the kalashnikov has never had any problems working in freezing

conditions. this gun is very durable. one of the final tests is quite possibly the toughest the assault rifle is drawn from a concrete slab from a height of two and a metre. where at the same firing range where mr kalashnikov and stoner met in may of one nine hundred ninety there we're talking about dura billet if the weapons and what kind of tests they had to go through to make sure they were durable enough to withstand battlefield conditions and one of the things that stoner said was that he was required to drop this weapon from eleven feet and drop on concrete and be able to pick up the weapon and fire and at that point kalashnikov started laughing and they asked him what he was laughing about he said well the way we do it in russia is if the weapon doesn't function. they take the

designer and they drop him from. the feature of the. professionals dealing with specific tasks. the choice depending on. when we get

a kalashnikov assault rifle from the. site. this is a. retractable stock for ease of use i can change the length of the stock to affix to pistol grip onto it to make it more comfortable. the magazine holds sixty cartridges more than the standard. as a special interior ministry squad training exercise must make sure that that weapon is still ready for battle after such extreme conditions. especially. this is just. tests.

every. well the gun saves the lives of soldiers on assignment. that's what it's supposed to do and it always functions to the best of its abilities whether covered in mud or frost. is now ninety three years old he's outlived most of his friends and rivals. creator of the u.s. army's m sixteen hundred ninety seven. in recent years kalashnikov has become increasingly unhappy about his rifles reputation each year an average of a quarter of a million people were killed by bullets fired from one of his weapons. i didn't want to design a weapon that was going to be used in wide scale fracture sidle war and they very year. i only wanted to help protect my country's borders three you are teaches

about well and that's what i would wish for everybody as well as myself. i have gone through every try the tribulation and i'm ready to go on working. one hundred million like me in the world they say i have yet to outlive my usefulness. will be around for decades more. easily replaced. everything is changing but i'm still as i have always been an assault rifle. is kalashnikov. i've got a quote for you. it's pretty tough. they wait substory. let's

get this guy like you would smear the guys that are working for the people missions the mainstream media are working for each other bribe writers be sure to fight. the good rather.

it's a classic. over by the old if you. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution which says that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy which recall folks. that i know i'm sorry and i'm going to show we reveal the picture of what's actually going commented on we go beyond identifying trying to rational debate a real discussion critical issues facing america in my book ready to join the movement then welcome to the big picture.
