a k forty seven s design has met their american 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. 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 in the city will never say weapons rifle they would do is simply the product. variants of the a k have been 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 and then. 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 it 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 the 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 far beyond soviet aboard us 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 . they came from completely different socio economic and political backgrounds in russia kalashnikov was honored as a national hero a regional icon but receive 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 of russian military schools are required to learn how to strip down the kalashnikov in fifteen seconds then within the same time limit the gun must be assembled and ready to fire and. this is a reliable weapon. 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. to have 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 kalashnikov in the early one nine hundred sixty s. the soviet union looks the portuguese colored explained through. 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 advocation and the whole. culture for. the struggle for liberation of all counts. and. it is sort of these. times to be a shift machine building. in a big old cold internationalism. the employees just because everyone in the plant was like robots if they were ever to find another job at a factory making meat grinders the end product would still be a kalashnikov. that was going to get. closed. in a week they have regular jobs but it weekends these people change this stuff the

officers scrub battle dress. to kalashnikovs but these weapons a loaded with plastic bowls instead of bullets flourishes no making a kalashnikov with a difference. because they kill everything else about these non-lethal 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. 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 that. of the iconic. very strong because i am a 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. for example 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.

this rifle is the main weapon of all struggle because it never misses targets. proven its reputation in. chinese made. it was the first. used. in the twenty first century those. states. by. using the very. division.

because of the. small. no. no no no. there are. n. word any word. to occupy. the

. well you may remember the free gift. terrorist already. so. there is oil to be secured from those bad guys. this. is so special as the russian resort prepares to welcome the world. in the city's future. this is a. very cold and snowy winter. olympics. starting the first.

of. the first. because. it was made for. the seven point six two millimeter.

with the result was the. ok seventy four. which used five point four five millimeter. just like it's a little bit of a. claim but the. professionals know that any changes to make it fashionable. would inevitably affect its most important feature reliability yeah. he. said for another exercise that the rights to wear the crimson distinguishing sign that. they like to joke 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 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 we were shooting at twenty five yards the bullet is not fast but it's a heavy pounding bullet very effective. and is

a specialist in ballistics. he is skeptical. 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 so.

they think the debate is pointless. this place is awash with rumors it's no secret that the german design 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. ready to face is. being trained to. do the same condition.

yes but they had come from his soviet colleagues not from hugo's mizer. kalashnikov was able to integrate various solutions within one designed to best advantage more with the new assault rifle it was much more sturdy than its rivals. whenever a kalashnikov ran out of ammunition it was still very useful and hand to hand fighting once bullets were available 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 use them under all conditions they had a documentary once history channel. where they were talking about the afghans using

the case in afghanistan and they had no concept of cleaned 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 that shoestring through the board said it was clean as with clean enough. when 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. wreaking he has a concept formulated by one person who's built all these items there's all in 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 in. changed. the billion weapons for hunting and sporting purposes were being developed based on his rifle. personally tested the new models as he had always done. a semi automatic shotgun based on. takes less than a couple of seconds to be ready to fight the united states potential adversary has been one of the most customers for the russian made. americans of compared to. 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. signed contracts with the americans for thousands of so i got twelve units to be supplied to the police force. but the. 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. in my experience the kalashnikov has never had any problems working in freezing conditions. and this is very durable. one of the final tests is quite possibly the top of the assault rifle is drawn from a concrete slab. of meat.

the coffin stoner met in may of one nine hundred ninety they were 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.

yet 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 suited bows to novices who have only just laid hands on it and professionals dealing with specific tasks. that begin their 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. and still no play when we get a kalashnikov assault rifle from the depo we fitted out with a site. this is a sample chewed up for a marksman scritch that features a retractable stalk for ease of use i can change the length of the stock to use my

fix to pistol grip onto it to make it more comfortable is that if the magazine holds sixty cartridges more than the stuff. special interior ministry squad training exercise. make sure that their weapon is still ready for battle such extreme conditions. 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. or frost. three years old most of his friends and rivals. creator of the u.s. team. in recent years has become increasingly unhappy about his reputation. killed. one of his weapons. i didn't want to design a weapon that was going to be used. in a very year. i only wanted to protect my country's borders three you are about. well that's what i would wish for everybody as well as myself. i have gone through it every try the tribulation and i'm ready to go on working

there are some one hundred million like me in the world they say i have yet to outlive my usefulness from it. it will be around for several decades more i'm not easily replaced everything is changing but i'm still as i have always been an assault rifle my name is kalashnikov. why is the price of gold so high. demand global demand do you think oldest money. know the value of the only place we have to live of the water that we need to survive it's not compared to a bull i mean gold we're not going to eat gold we're not going to bait with gold. we're not going to drink what clearly what amal is and is in

a desperate economic situation absolutely right what we're running to do is say they're for any kind of economic development from the outside is going to be a benefit their only purpose is to extract as much money as possible to feed into the global financial system. with we are part of the geo political economic system that's extremely exploited or. first was a question with a mining should even be carried out altogether can it be done in a way which doesn't destroy people's lives resources environment soon will you know those are pretty serious questions mining is not what a moment problem it's happening in asia in africa and south america and central america in mexico and it's even happening in canada and the united states.

these labels have been termed salaheddin braving the elements in order to stand up to us oil giants chevron. this comes after a massive hunger strike that returned the world's attention to the place that some have dubbed the gulag of our times. is an undeclared global battlefield in which a young man is just one of the front lines. now it is a bit. do we speak your language any time of the war not a day of. school music programs and documentaries and spanish more matters to you

breaking news a little tune in to angles couldn't stories. so you hear. detroit altie spanish find out more visit. tito it's cold. but all told you my language as well but i will only react to situations i haven't read the reports so i'm likely to push the no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point of the month to say get to it mr k.l.a. car is on the docket no god i. hope they do no more weasel words when you say to direct question and be prepared for a change when you throw a punch be ready for a battle for the speech and a little bit on the freedom to question. i think.

the really. did you know 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 albus. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across a cynical we've been hijacked lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once built up i'm tom hartman and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem or trying to fix rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america to find a job ready to join the movement then walk away from the big picture.

there's a media leader so we leave the media. by the sea motions she surely play your party musical. wear shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politicking only on our t.v. . some of the sixteen percent of imports came from movie goofy shit. the european union is ironically taking fish from some of the poorest nations on earth so this is a very serious and very urgent problem that needs immediate international action. on the territorial waters of the fish they load this fish on to the ships and leave . the. illegal fishing just taking the bread out of our mouths.
