    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.

      What a shame that the creators weren't listening to you. It could be a much better movie - instead, we got a fairy tale where we didn't see any real development of the actual AK.

    I was born in city of Izhevsk and saw Mikhail Timofeyevich. He was walking down Pushkinskaya street (main street of Izhevsk) with younger lady (i assume his daughter) and huge dude in a black suit(bodyguard i guess). I was a little kid and was going to visit one of my buddies so when they passed me by i was just standing looking at them. Now i realize it was one of the most memorable moments of my life, Legend and one of the most remarkable people of Soviet Era walked few feet away from me.

    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.

Only officers in the Soviet army were allowed mustaches, and navy officers were the only ones who were allowed beards. So, Hollywood often gets it wrong showing teh ebil Soviet soldiers with beards.

      Suprisingly the way they've made the movie it sounds similar to inventor of Owen SMG. It might not have chnaged the war, heck, might not have changed it much even for Australia, but it gave people hope.
      Interestingly enough or maybe weirdly, Fedorov isn't in the movie. And he was the one leading the avtomat competition and group of designers that created the round. It's like as if you've cut awat Von Braun out of Autumn Sky. Even if fictional, Fedorov and Kalashnokov should have met. Simonov, Shpagin, Degtyarev. They all started under or consulted him in 1920's.

    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.

      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.

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.

      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)
