Book Review: The Gun by C. J. Chivers ...

My first of 2011

Book Review: The Gun by C. J. Chivers
"The Soviet effort to build the Kalashnikov was inspired by their experiences in WWII fighting the Germans. They captured some example of the German StG 44 or Sturmgewehr, arguably the first and father of all subsequent assault rifles. A German rifle and design were the inspiration for the AK47, and it was subsequently improved by a German engineer (Hugo Schmeisser, p. 207)."
