kalash. there yet. the. special training. procedure. to be tested in sochi it's. tougher testing ground. and. a field. trial. design. is first to be subjected to a severe test. with his. very . first.

sure it does 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 rifle kalashnikovs was in such a climate. 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 achievement came five years 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 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 am 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 will 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 at the machine building in the city will never say weapons. they were simply the product. very to be a case of being turned down he has in one thousand nine hundred forty seven people across the border instantly recognized the kalashnikov that is the most widespread firearm in the world is today. the rifle is not only functional but it's also a handsome model. to say that it cries out to be touched most of the workers at the machine building clones the women it's told they handle the mechanical operations require constant attention and they know the rifle inside and out even though the

weapon is intended primarily. 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 a 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. special forces were some of the first to appreciate the benefits of the five point four five millimeter version. had improved it was also much lighter and the world no complaints about operating. missions. that.

even the kalashnikov rifle is much more reliable than the m sixteen. and far less from his creation than his american counterpart eugene stone and. they came from 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 in russia many people know him but he didn't become wealthy for. different approaches different societies different values. new recruits russian military schools are required to learn how to strip down the kalashnikov in fifteen seconds and then within the same time limit the gun must be reassembled and ready to fire and.

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 and 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 charlie mumble means thank you in mozambique the words of the song sung by

these freedom fighters could just as easily be addressed to mr a kalashnikov in the early one nine hundred sixty s. the soviet union hopes the portuguese colony spitefully and 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 indication and the whole. culture for. the. struggle for me but issue of all counts. and. this will these.

be the times to be a shift machine building. a big. old internationalism. the employees just because everyone of the flood was like robots if they were ever to find another job at a factory making meat grinders. product would still be a kalashnikov. i was going to get. closed. in the week they have regular jobs but it weekends these people stuffy officers 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. 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 that. of 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. the prize for functional kalashnikov. used this rifle as the main weapon of all struggle because it never misses targets . proven its reputation.

of chinese made kalashnikov. it was the first. used. in the twenty first century but those same. states. by. using the very rifles that the. russian. his military service in russia's division. his first inventions were related to vehicles but. because of. his efforts to designing small.

technology. from russia we. covered. twenty fourteen olympics with this police lying on the line is so special as the russian resort prepares to welcome the world power the games shaping the city's present and future what more so it will bring you this is the moment they're reporting from a very cold and snowy windy mountainous tough yet beyond the olympics. starting with the first on our team oh. no oh. no no no the north pole has been virtually invaded season occupied and so now santa

matters to you. a little to. keep these stories. so you hear. the spanish. visit. the first. because they. made. seven point six two millimeter original. engineering before that time it didn't take. would be unable to cope with the result was the case. and which used.

to. be. professionals know that any changes to make it. would inevitably affect its most important feature. yeah. for another exercise that. the crimson distinguishing saw. that if it were possible to train men to be as tough as. 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

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. the impact we were shooting at twenty five yards. is not fast but it's heavy pounding very. special. even.

a fairly effective. design. and other german specialists contributed to the development of the new product. together claiming that it was made by some ordinary. debate is pointless. this place is awash with rumors it's no secret that the german designers are 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. the work was a carefully guarded secret obviously he had no access to it. through the faces. fighters in this special squad are being trained to handle standard weapons the brand new a k twelve model will be troy downed in exactly the same conditions and then sent on to the russians on me and police with . kalashnikovs was often asked about his wife is design he made no secret of the fact that he had indeed borrowed many ideas but they had come from his soviets colleagues not from hugo schweizer. kalashnikov was able to integrate various solutions within one designed to best advantage all of the new

assault rifle was much more sturdy than its rivals. whenever a kalashnikov ran out of ammunition it was still very useful and hand to hand fighting one splits were made a bit again firing could resume without worrying about cleaning own lubricating the gun in battle. rifle was designed so that any illiterate person in the world operated disassemble it for basic cleaning if any and used them under all conditions they had a documentary once history channel. where they were talking about the afghans years in 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 knot dip it in motor oil and pull the shoestring through the board said there was clean as 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. he has a concept formulated by one person is built into all these sums there's a. and is based on a single principle into changeable but this broad range of weapons has been designed by one person that makes them very convenient. at his first opportunity to attend international small firearms exhibition. changed. weapons for hunting and sporting purposes were being developed based on his rifle. personally test of the new models as he had always done.

the semiautomatic shotgun based on the. take less than a couple of seconds to be ready for. the united states potential adversary has been one of the most customers for the russian made. americans of compared the. design of the show guns based on the kalashnikov assault rifle as it turns out twelve is a more attractive weapon is more powerful and capable of more effective. swallow their pride. plant signed contracts with the americans for thousands of so i got twelve units to be supplied to the police force. but he. models are

assembled in the same shop to the same quality control tests before being shipped to a customer. 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. a kalashnikov has never had any problems working in freezing conditions not once has a jammed this gun is very durable. one of the final tests is quite possibly the toughest the assault rifle is dropped on to a concrete slab from a height of two in the hall from me to. where at the same firings where mr kalashnikov and stoner met in may one nine hundred ninety there we're talking about dura bill of the of 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 it and at that point kalashnikov started laughing and they asked him what he was laughing about and he said well the way we do it in russia is if the weapon doesn't produce function properly they take the designer and they drop him from eleven feet onto a concrete floor. yes another key feature of the kalashnikov is that almost anyone can use it

allowing it to hold its ground for more than sixty gives. a speed police shoot in bowes to novices who have only just laid hands on it and professionals dealing with specific tasks. that begin to needs only a short time to acquaintance of the rifle veteran kalashnikov uses such as special forces to modify their weapons of choice depending on the mission. 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 fix the pistol grip on to it to make it more comfortable. magazine hold sixty cartridges more than the standard. special interior ministry. training exercise. make sure that their weapon is still ready for battle after such extreme
