Would you want to be remembered for this?

Mikhail Kalashnikov, arguably one of the most important and influential gun designers in military history, has passed away at 94 years of age. His AK-47 rifle is the most popular and widely used assault rifle in the world. It is easy to build and maintain. It stands up beautifully under conditions that would ruin more sophisticated weapons (e.g. the US M-16). It is not very accurate but it packs a punch. Even right-wing American gun advocates who would otherwise likely condemn him as a  "Commie" love the gun.
