Mikhail Kalashnikov was a genius and you can't convince me otherwise

Me who knows the soviet just copied a german gun:

hes not wrong

Read other commenr

Nope. The STG-44 recoil spring is in the stock and has an entirely different system. It's possible he got inspiration from the intermediate cartridge and select fire, but the Kalashnikov is an entirely different gun

ok

STG-44 and the AK-47 look very similiar.
Plus, the Soviets are infamous for copying ideas.
Now stop being a commie and admit the fact he just copied the idea.

They look similiar? That has nothing to do with it. All revolvers look similiar, does that mean all revolvers are a copy of the first one?
