    He died today, age 94. May the man who invented the Kalash rest in peace.

    I don't know much about him (other than the obvious things everyone knows), but I do recall him saying something along the lines of: "I wish I invented something useful to people in a way that didn't involve killing others, for example: a lawnmower." That's a pretty cool quote, but that's all that came to mind when I read this.

    @bamul "Blame the Nazi Germans for making me become a gun designer," said Kalashnikov. "I always wanted to construct agricultural machinery."

    I saw a link to that article on Reddit. Seems like an interesting guy, can't stand the kind of people though who would constantly ask a person like that how he feels about his most accomplished creation being used for violent purposes. Fucking reporters.

    It's just an incredibly loaded question that can't have a good answer. Seems really rude and unprofessional IMHO.

    He always had an answer ready. He did it for his country and he was proud he did his work right. The rest was simply unfortunate.

    Let me do a plot twist on this thread just like the one about Paul Walker;
    RIP all the children who die of starvation every day, especially in Africa.
    :D
