My parents car salesman was russian and he had a deep and scary voice.

As a native Russian I have to say that this would be a different movie if listened to in Russian.

I was a chief technical advisor of this movie. Unfortunately, creators ignored my advice, so I am not a big fan of the final result. I wouldn't take this movie as a good representation of his story, Kalashnikov's real life was much more thrilling and incredible. NO REAL PROTOTYPES were used. The guns you see in the movie are replicas made from scratch by a custom shop in Moscow. They did a great job, in my opinion. My good friend Konstantin Podgornov drawn all the blueprints for the movie, but the creators messed it up and used blueprints for Type 3, while they had a perfect set of blueprints available. Shame. Type 1 in the movie is not a good representation of the first batch, it has a wrong muzzle device and charging handle. Again, the real deal was available, I personally picked the best available rifle, but it never made it to the movie. Same for the final scene, they had enough type 1s to put them in the front row, but nobody cared. If you want to talk about the real story, we can do that eventually.

Maybe you do it like that, but according to Kalashnikov, specialists refused to eyeball and he got drawing help right from the start. I'm also disappointed with Barndon for not knowing that Sudaev scene was real, except it was with Simonov and they were competing for a carbine. And that's how SKS came to be. As for Sudayev, he planned and put his PPS-43 into small scale production in Leningrad... during the Siege of Leningrad. Later he competed with his assault rifle design(not the one Kalashnikov participated in), but he got sick and died before he finished his design. Also fun fact, when Kalashnikov did his first prototype, he was so exited, he tested it right at his working spot. Yes, he didn't even bother to go outside! Lets just say his superiors weren't too happy. As for when he was working at Degteryov plant, he had to wait a day, and... he waited. One time was enough for him.

8:15 that is actually a hold over from older manufacturing processes where if you had a 3' barrel like on a Lebel rifle or a Mauser 1893 and you had a defect you could still use the barrel as a pistol or revolver barrel instead of for a rifle. This was also the norm in Czarist Russia with the Three Line Rifle, the Mosin Nagant, and the Nagant 1895 revolver. Three line in the old Russian measurement comes out to 7.62mm

Hearing about these stories is always great. As an Australian, I enjoy the story of Wardell and Kunzler working hard to try and get the SMG originally developed by an NSW kid named Owen to be accepted by the very obstinant and uncooperative Defence force. But by god with their persistence and their clever use of media, they got the government to tell the DF to put it to the test and it won against the MP38, the Thompson, and the Sten.

As the subwoofer gives way to hard base you realize its soon it’s coming from the walls as the noise gets louder suddenly you see a man wearing a black tight tee shirt, blue jeans, combat boots and a pair of aviators phase though your wall as the hard base subsided he takes off his glasses takes a deep breath through his nostrils and says “is that a type one behind you?” He looks past you to the dusty parts kit. “Lets talk pal.” A second goes by and he puts his glasses back on “I think you pissed your self so ill be in the living room queueing up some red dawn while you change your pants. Oh, and bring that parts kit when you come down.” As he leaves your attic.

as a student I went to Izhevsk - the city, where Mikhail Timofeevich was living and working - to take part in the first international student olympics on applied mechanics. we had an tour to the museum, but most important - at the official opening ceremony Kalashnikov gave a speech and then each team had a picture with him. so that's how I had a great honor to shake his hand In reality Kalashnikov was working in a group of experienced engineers, who first were sharing their experience and then helping him to master the rifle to the satisfactory level, because first prototypes had problems and were quite expensive and difficult to manufacture. I didn't watch the movie myself though... but this doubling with English voices is horrible XD and weird that in the country of origin and with the help of the Kalashnikov company they didn't find any AK looking like the first ones. and true fact that failed Mosin barrels were used for Tokarev pistols if some part of the barrel was still good

Hugo Schmeisser was the inventor who was at that time working as German prisoner in Izhevska design office. Kalashnikov was planted next to Hugo to take his design. Hugo Schmeisser come from family with long tradition of making weapons and Kalashnikov had zero understanding of strength of materials. Besides AK, what has Kalashnikov invented since AK? Nothing! Nothing because Hugo was allowed to go back to Germany! Idiots believe that someone without understanding of strength of materials could design AK is similar to believing that someone without knowledge of jet propulsion could design space shuttle.😂

This man really knew how to build a weapon. Think about it. This gun has been around since 1947 and it's still one of the best combat weapons ever made. Most other countries have made updated weapons but this one was so well made it's still in use. Says a lot about the inventor.

I remember back in 2006 watching TV with my dad he was watching History Channel or some Channel. I can't remember on the cable box.... A guy was saying if we ever go on Mars, the only weapon I will trust and take is the AK-47

Mikhail was doing very well by Russian standard, he received a massive "Stalin's award" that was a very significant sum of money, he got his promotions, medals and other benefits during his carrier. So basically Stoner got way less in comparison. As you probably should remember USSR was a socialist country and even it's leaders had less personal riches than a mediocre US millioner (not even speaking about billioners)

At the time lots of russian infantry equipment was developed by the idea that can be manufactured in non military factories if needed. The PPSh is a good example for this. If you need tons of guns under a war you need to improvise how can it be possible. And not only Russia came out with such solutions in hard times.

I just watched the movie and thought it was very good. And then stumbled onto your channel purely by accident. I enjoyed your review. I do wish they would have showed a little more about how he came up with the design for the AK. I have two AK myself, and love them. I also subscribed

I watched this when it first came out and I loved the fuck out of it. And I was an AR guy at the time. LOL let me just say that I kinda became an AK guy from watching you but this movie is kinda what pushed me fully into the AK camp. And I don’t regret any of it.

Pretty much reminiscent to every brilliant design in history. You have an idea, you take it to the first person, they tell you to f**k off, so you go build it somewhere else and it changes the world. Great video.

I've got Kalashnikov's autobiography, and it's easily become my favorite book. Not only is the man's story inspiring (from son of a Kulak deported to Siberia to Russia's foremost and most famous gun designer), he was a genuinely good man and a patriot. There's much to respect and admire about the guy.

Kalashnikov was a great gunsmith/inventor. But do you not think Kalashnikov will self-glorify himself in his own autobiography.

Hi Brandon, I was lucky enough to have met Gen. Kalashnikov a number of years ago in the UAE at a military arms expo. He and his interpreter had lunch with our small group. He did say something to the effect that he wished he had a Ruble for every AK produced. I was aware of his historical significance when we met. He was a nice old gentleman.

Loved the movie. Saw it last year. Great Book: Blood on the Risers by John Leppelman. Leppelman spent three years in Vietnam. Starting with 173rd Airborne in the Central Highlands, where he describes being separated from another Platoon. When they finally got to them, they were all dead, with M-16’s disassembled to clear jams. He signed up for another year to get transferred out of the Highland’s slaughter. Year 2 was with Riverine. Year three he joined the Rangers and was back operating in the Highlands

You loose moment with Degterev. It was pretty cool. And thank you i will watch this move again.

He DESERVES a movie, his life was WILD.

For the record, Alexey Sudayev's last name is spelt Судаев in his native Russian. The combination "ae" forms a sound similar to the English pronunciation of "eye." Therefore, his name would be pronounced Soo-Die-Ev, with emphasis on the D sound. Cant wait to see this movie. Love your content as always, brother.

Maybe referenced before(?!) but they actually took shot outosin Nagants (older, 39" barrelled models) which typically had their wear at the chambers & muzzles. They would chop the 6"s off of each end which left about 33". This was then split & a 7.62x25mm chambered into both "new" barrels - viola! Barrels for two PPSh sub machine guns. . . ;)

Thanks Brandon!!! you give me the right angle to approach my wife into firearms!!! she doesn't like guns because you know (guns are bad very very bad) but i watch this movie and she was so involve in it because the trouble Kalashnikof have to overcome in order to fulfill is dream and the success he accomplish at the end of the movie, she even said " that rifle looks nice". you can imagine my surprise!!!!

Dear Brandon, i came on your channel because one croatian comrade of mine told me a lot of nice things about you, we can feel in your videos that you are a good person, don t change this. I m living permanently in Croatia from 2005 and i m seeing how people are here, i was here in 1991-92 and saw the war, was briefly on the front and men from my family were in fight to the liberation in 1995. Today we re trying to live again together with our serbian slavic neighbors ( and brothers?). I m, like you, not certain that the part of the series showing how mister Kalashnikov find help from his comrades is true, but it can be because i ve seen incredible things during war here, in Croatia: people spontaneous building armored vehicles, mortars, guns, grenades in their backyards or in factories. I have a neighbor and friend, that build hand guns that fire hunting cal 410 and others guns during the war, they all actually worked. Thank you again for your work, keep going, we are here, beside you comrade Herrera.
