Thank you for your inspiration, thank you for creating such a wonderful rifle.....altough you may have to leave us, but your creation, legacy will continues to shine and inspired future generation, some said you're the creator of WMD, but I see you as an idol, a patriot, a brilliant engineer, a loyal servant, a soldier and a humble veteran who love, served and sacrifices for his country. Thank you, grandpa Kalashnikov......May your soul blessed by god and rest in peace
