I've Always Wanted To Improve And Expand

It Is The Germans Who Are Responsible For The Fact That I Became A Fabricator Of Arms. If Not For Them, I Would Have Constructed Agricultural Machines. (...) If Someone Asks Me How I Can Sleep At Night Knowing That My Arms Have Killed Millions Of People, I Respond That I Have No Problem Sleeping, My Conscience Is Clean. I Constructed Arms To Defend My Country.

I Tried A Dozen Different Modifications That Were Rejected. But They All Served As A Path To The Final Design.

Before Attempting To Create Something New, It Is Vital To Have A Good Appreciation Of Everything That Already Exists In This Field.

The Ak-47 Is Not A Device Of Aggression ... I Devised This Machine-gun For The Security Of My Country.
