Mikhail Kalashnikov is a russian weapon designer. Mikhail Kalashnikov was forced to go to the Red Army in 1938. He was a tank driver and a mechanic. He was wounded during the defence of the city of Bryansk. While in the hospital, he complained about the current Soviet rifles. In 1947, he designed the AK-47 (standing for Avtomat Kalashnikova). In 1949, the AK-47 assault rifle became the Soviet Army's standard rifle; after that, the design became Kalashnikov's most famous invention.
