Mikhail Kalashnikov 's Invention
Mikhail Kalashnikov started his work on the AK-47 when he was wounded in battle in Bryansk as a tank commander serving for the Soviet Union. He wanted to invent an automatic rifle that can be used again and again that could also be reliable for his fellow soldiers. In June, 1942 he got a prototype of a Kalashnikov submachine gun. That prototype was sent to Dzerzhinsky Ordnance Academy. The scientist in shooting arms A. A. Blagonravov liked the Kalashnikov submachine gun prototype. But it was still denied. In 1944 Mikhail developed another model that was self-loading carbine (an automatic gun), in 1946 it passed a complicated test. In 1949 after some trouble Mikhail had the automatic weapon was taken in by the Soviet Army. And since then the AK-47 was used around the world in almost every war since then because it was so cheap to make, easy to make, easy to handle, durability, and its power.
