Terrorists also want to use simple and reliable arms.

I have continued to work at different things, and rebuilt my home all by myself. I did it for the sake of satisfaction at doing something. I did it because I happened to be where I was.

When a young man, I read somewhere the following: God the Almighty said, 'All that is too complex is unnecessary, and it is simple that is needed.' So this has been my lifetime motto – I have been creating weapons to defend the borders of my fatherland, to be simple and reliable.

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

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

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

It is painful for me to see when criminal elements of all kinds fire from my weapon.
