| The movie is out this February |
We're opening the last week of 2019 with the new trailer for Russian war drama
KALASH NIKOV (Калашников) which arrives to theatres next February with
Yuriy Borisov playing legendary Russian gunsmith Mikhail
Timofeevich Kalashnikov, who at the age of 29 created the most widely used assault rifle on Earth - AK-47, a weapon that changed history and gave
security to millions of people around the world. The idea of creating a new weapon came to the young sergeant Kalashnikov in 1941, when he was hospitalized due to a serious injury wondering why do all Germans have their own guns and Russians only one
 |
| He actually wanted to construct agriculture machines but became gunsmith because of the Nazis |
for two or three soldiers. Having lost the opportunity to return to the front, Kalashnikov found another way to serve the Motherland. Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think.
Did You Know?
Kalashnikov is the most common small gun in the world, it is used by
the armies of 50 countries. Although he invented it to give Russian
soldiers

a chance against Germans, he felt sorrow at the weapons'
uncontrolled distribution later on. He did take pride in his inventions and in
their

reputation for reliability, emphasizing that his rifle is "a
weapon of defence" and "not a weapon for offence".
At first glance, I thought that was Toby Maguire!
ReplyDeleteI never knew about the (1) gun to every (2) or (3) men until recently when I saw that Jude Law movie. They were standing on line with their fingers crossed hoping that they were going to be the guy with the gun and not bullets.
No resemblance whatsoevah LOL
DeleteYes, Hitler started the war prepared, but in other countries people had to fight with their own hands as everybody had to join the war and you cannot arm everyone, and plus, the Russians had millions of people in the war. Apparently, there has been about half a billion of these guns produced ever since.
I still see the resemblance, especially in the first and third photo.
DeleteInteresting!
DeleteAny weapon can be used for offence or defence.
ReplyDeleteYes, but not all were designed originally like that. He designed it to protect his country against the Nazis, but later on it, sadly, became, due to it not being overly expensive, weapon of many resurgence fighters around the world, that is not something he wanted.
DeleteRemorse after the fact does no good. That’s an incredibly scary number of these guns that have been produced since.
ReplyDeleteHe was still proud, and should be, for saving his country and soldiers who fought against the Nazis.
DeleteAnd that is just the number of kalashnikovs, imagine how many other guns there are.
Too many are out there, in my opinion.
DeleteThey should be banned everywhere.
