I would prefer to have invented a machine that people could use and that would help farmers with their work - for example a lawnmower.

I'm proud of my invention, but I'm sad that it is used by terrorists.

I was trying to perform as best as possible. I was a boy at the time, but worked well with the sickle.

I tried a dozen different modifications that were rejected. But they all served as a path to the final design.

I've always wanted to improve and expand on the good name of my weapon by doing good things.

Life can make you do many things, even kiss a man with a runny nose.

The AK-47 is not a device of aggression ... I devised this machine-gun for the security of my country.
