chambers filled with fine particles of silica. 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. came up with a prototype of 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. defense ministry 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 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 in the city will never say weapons or a soldier rifle with those two is simply a product of some twenty very to be 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 with the machine building blow and the women it's still they handle the mechanical operations requiring constant attention to 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 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 a bulldozer after the vietnam war. special forces 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. additions. that. he. is much more reliable than sixteen.

and far less from his creation than his american counterpart. 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 a russian military schools are required to learn how to strip. in fifteen seconds then within the same time limit the gun must be reassembled 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. 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. ah la charlie mumble a man's 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 exploits the. rebels quickly got a feel for the soviet rifle after their victory it became a national symbol. the city in the middle of the. flag we have yet the star. and the book the who and. the book signifies indication and the whole petition that agriculture for. the struggle for me but issue of all counts. all these. times to be a chef machine building. cold international to.

be employees just because everyone of the flood was like robots if they were able to find another job at a factory making. the end product would still be a kalashnikov. was going to get. closed. in a week they have regular jobs but it we can these people change this stuff the officers scrub battle dress. to kalashnikovs but these weapons a loaded with plastic bowls instead of bullets for planes is no making a kalashnikov with a difference. because they kill everything else about the 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 adapt the combat weapon to a game of airsoft. same materials 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. is to achieve real goals. in the future as a method of tactical training. for the. men and women alike are only just beginning to get. very strong. they have been getting stronger with training exercise. that. right.

there is another side to the popularity of the. huge profits by buying. and selling them in. the price for. this rifle is the main weapon of our struggle because it. has proven its reputation demonstrated its complex condition. with chinese made kalashnikov. it was the first. used.

in the twenty first century. of. the united states. by. using the very one pose that the us both told him so long ago. russian military schools are undergoing weapons training on a tank range missile kalashnikov himself began his military service in russia's division. forty seven his first inventions were related to vehicles but they could not be implemented because of the onset of world war two. recklessly 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 small.

with the economic ups and downs in the final months the london deal and the rest of life. it's going to be a single day every week nothing. close to big crowds out here braving the elements in order to stand up so u.s. oil giants chevron. this comes after a mass 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 and just one of the front lines. does it.

play right from the sea. first rate. and i think which are. on our reporters' twitter. instagram. to be in the know. on. the first assault rifle models designed by the missile kalashnikov going to popularity because they will waterproof and later version was made for cartridges smaller than the seven point six two millimeter original but they have to go jim olson collection call for steve to no formal education in 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 case seventy four variant which used five point four five mm. just like you. claim to be. professionals know that any changes to make it. would inevitably affect its most important feature reliability yeah yeah. well. good. 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 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. as

a specialist in ballistics. he is skeptical of the superiority of the. even claims. to be 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 sergeant.

they think the debate is pointless. this place is awash with rumors it's no secret the german designer or 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 hero schmeiser had no access to it. carried through. to face is. being trained to have. the same condition.

but they had come from his soviet. hugo. kalashnikov was able to integrate various solutions within one designed to best advantage moreover 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 once well it's well 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 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 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. wreak if he has a concept formulated by one person is built into all these items their design is based on a single principle the pulse thought 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 nelson belly and weapons for hunting and sporting purposes. being developed based on his rifle. to the new models as he had. a semiautomatic shotgun based on the. takes less than a couple of seconds to be ready to fight. the united states potential adverse or it has been one of the most customers for the russian made. americans of compared to. the design of the show guns based only kalashnikov assault rifle. 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. models are assembled in the same shop to the same quality control tests before being shipped to a customer. where 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. this is very curable. one of the final tests is quite possibly the top of the assault rifle is drawn to

a. meter. in may one thousand nine hundred there were two. dura billet he 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 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 prove 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 can 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 marksman features a retractable stalk for ease of use i can change the length of the stock to affix

to pistol grip onto it to make it more comfortable is that if the magazine holds sixty cartridges more than the standard. as a special interior. training exercise. make sure that their weapon is still ready for battle after such extreme conditions. especially. 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 we 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 were placed everything is changing but i'm still as i have always became an assault rifle and it is kalashnikov. to the. seasons he has put has already been plenty to celebrate this december on this month's show we learn how the future of the lazy section stone how to make movies with an instant messenger under lucian exoskeleton makes life work of real estate. here on
