The design philosophy of the AK-47 by Dave Gray
“The AK-47 is a successful weapon because it was designed to work when the world is falling apart around you. When an AK-47 is wet, when it is clogged with mud, sand or snow, it will still work, in conditions where many more precise and accurate weapons will fail.”
Dave also reminds us of the context that drove Mikhail Kalashnikov to design a weapon. It is always useful to remind us of such things.
