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

I created a weapon to defend the borders of my motherland. It's not my fault that it's being used where it shouldn't be. The politicians are more to blame for this.

I wanted to invent an engine that could run for ever. I could have developed a new train, had I stayed in the railway. It would have looked like the AK-47 though.

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

Man keeps inventing things all the time.

Before attempting to create something new, it is vital to have a good appreciation of everything that already exists in this field.

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