BERLIN Monday July 29 (Reuters) - Mikhail Kalashnikov, inventor of the rifle AK-47, said Saturday he was proud of developing the rifle but wishes he'd designed something to help people instead -- like a lawnmower. "I would have preferred to invent something which helps people and makes life easier for farmers. A lawnmower, for example," the 82-year-old general told Bild newspaper.
The Kalashnikov can fire 400 rounds per minute and is light and easy to maintain. Guerrillas around the world use the Kalashnikov but its inventor does not feel sorry that he invented it. "I am proud of it. And sad, too, that the weapon is used by terrorists," said Kalashnikov
Kalashnikov is said to have thought of the idea for the submachine gun while he was in hospital recovering from shell-shock in 1941. The Kalashnikov went into production in 1947 and the Russian army started using the gun in 1949. About 100 million AK-47s have been built.
Although the AK-47 has been very successful, Kalashnikov has never earned any money from his invention. He said that all the money that the gun earned "went to the state."Words:maintain - to keep something working well state - a country and its government
