Implying that he "stole" the design is a little silly -- when enough features/ideas are taken from different places it's called research.
    The AK47 was build in cooperation with the Germans who made the Sturmgewehr 44. It isn't the revolutionary design people take it for. It's an evolutionary build based on the Sturmgewehr 44.

    He admitted this, you know better than the man himself?

    @Kadagar_AV, stop falling in love with me, I said no and I mean it. I am not into that.
