- This video is part of a series created from footage of Eugene Stoner and Mikhail Kalashnikov meeting in Virginia in 1990. All the footage is courtesy of the Smithsonian Institution Archives. All I have done is cut some of the waiting time between tapes out and tried to fix the audio. Otherwise, what you are seeing is entirely unadulterated.
Feel free to ask any questions about the various topics of the video in the comments. I will do my best to answer them.
All footage is used with permission from the Smithsonian Institution Archives.
Stoner helping Kalashnikov load an AK magazine is probably the greatest thing I’ve ever seen
You see it on his face, as he struggles with it, hes thinking 'is piece of sh...'
The weapon functioned fine the magazine was under to much spring pressure from being over loaded that being said it's a 30rd mag it should hold 30 no problem but that happens with 3-4-5th party manufacturers
@@NotProFishing
It happens with fully loaded mags, on a closed bolt.
@Murdered5.2 Ram HE DESIGNED IT! and Stoner was not struggling. He had the M16 loaded and rocking within seconds.
comedy 100% !
I don’t know how many people realize how historically significant all of this is
2 of the most deadly and widely used weapons of the late 20th and 21st century
With the creators of the guns used to fight opposing sides shooting their inventions together as buddy’s at the range.
Poetic really
@@Midas_Mash3r that's what you got out of it? Oof.
@@stateofchrysalis5483 I know right? Chocolate steam a hater. These 2 men are some of the greatest tool inventors of our time. The common man and woman can build, clean and service these with ease and vigor.
This is awesome that this video exists lol
How rude giving this man a Chinese AK
The Chinese made Polytech Legend. Was probably the finest import AK. Ever available in the USA. (Milled Receiver). The Norinco variants were great quality as well. Chrome lined barrels, forged trunions, etc. Russian AK’s for the American civilian market never really became a reality. Due to 94 assault weapons ban. And the ridiculous 922R laws. The Russian Saigas and Molot Vepr rifles that were later imported. In “sporting configurations”. Had to be converted while complying to the 922R laws regulating. The number of foreign made parts vs American made in a non- sporting rifle. In 2014 Obama, banned the import of Russian made firearms.
Its America. They have like the worst gun laws on the planet. Not only they have embargo on everything and their domestic production sucks, but they make real weapons crippled by stripping them out of auto sears and another crutial components. Not only this piece of shit is Chinese, but also made in garage by some bum with hammer and pliers

@@neuzdost1939 kinda cringe ngl. No one is gonna read that
1:28 I love how Kalashnikov was looking for the full auto notch in receiver and was like WTF is this crap, it's missing. lol
full auto is banned in us
@@therealsajad No they're not. Any registered before 1986 are fully transferable to another person. Any full auto after 1986 requires an SOT with a valid FFL. Even in the 90's all they had to do was find a dealer of NFA items, such as suppressors. They could have taken a full auto M16 and AK to the range. I don't see why they didn't do that. This was filmed in 1990, so there was no shortage of freshly registered full autos they could have used if they didn't locate an NFA dealer.
Kalashnikov really has a jacket for each gun. The drip never stops
Rest in peace esteemed gentleman
These 2 are amongst the greatest human beings this earth has birthed

That's why we love them
Giving Mikhail a Chinese ak is the most insulting thing ever
it was the best the US could do at the time. The USSR hadn't collasped yet, so russian AKs weren't exactly in public supply.
Im shocked they weren’t both select fire.
It's like handing sakurai a copy of Smash Bros, but it was a Chinese rip off with characters like "Mirby, Boy sword 45, Milf gun, and Cario".
@@durzoblint6532 I don’t think y’all realize that the Soviet Union hadn’t collapsed yet...
@@stjjames its cause most people go by their so called "laws" that make full autos really expensive if you go by them and very aritficially limited
If someone told me that these two men discussed together and tried each other rifles, I would have never believed it.
They became friends. Eugene even introduced him to orange soda.
They should have shot more and seen how each rifle felt different
Gene Stoner and Kalashnikov shooting, and Stoner 80’s hip fires the second mag out of his rifle. Classic.
@ET Hardcorgamer My favorite part was when Stoner was shooting the AK with no hearing protection. I got worried then realized it was a legendary moment
not to mention that OG chicken wing stance at 5:30
At 7:55, the interpreter walks up behind Kalashnikov asking "you know how to load the rifle?"
Mikhail doesn't hear, answers "Huh?" and goes on loading and cocking it lmao.
Man I love kalashnikov
"Huh?"
**proceed to use bolt release button*
C'mon Mr. Interpreter, He was one of the most important person in Soviet Union. He could have seen or even fire it himself before, just like what the US did to his AK.
@@muhammadrayhanfirdaus1309 nope he know how it works but he didn't shoot its before
@@johnnyjoestar2391source: troost me broov.
Kalašnikov had access to trophies.
Stoner's subtle quips are great
Ezell: "Yes, it's build very strong. You can see how the bolt face is recessed to..erm... it's build very strong."
Stoner: "That's for these reloaders when they make little mistakes..."
lol
The translator asking if he knows how to load it and he just drops the bolt catch Badass
“ah?”
*tschk*
I loved Stoners smug face after they spent all that time getting the AK mag to fit, and he just pulls a mag out of his pocket and slides it in.
The difference between a weapon made with technology and one hammered out on a anvil.
I was thinking the same thing when he made no effort at all. You could tell he felt good about that one lol. Then proceeds to fire faster and more accurately than him lol
@@noahbianchi1920 “AKs are crude” is Fuddlore. They aren’t precision machined like an AR but there was something off with that mag.
AK mags are only milliseconds slower than AR mags.
@@geoechidna your own statement contradicts itself. 🤣🤣🤣
Pretty sure it’s a Chinese AK. Need we say more?
Mikhail gripping his rifle like a PPSh, classic.
saw that. that ergo tho
Stoner seems like such a humble nice guy genuinely
Honestly they both do
They both do honestly
They joked about a Kalashnikov-Stoner hybrid. In 2021 there are several guns like that, including the CMMG mutant, a Daewoo, the ARAK, and several others. I like the Daewoo the best personally.
I'm partial to the K1 as well
The Daewoo k1 and k2's are hybrids of the ak and AR-15 platforms. The k1 is a submachine gun, while the K2 is an assault rifle, and features a folding stock that resembles that of the fal. Both firearms are still used by the ROK armed forces in present day.
@@Crudulence the K1 and K2 are completely 2 different guns
The FNC was a thing in the 80s. The Daewoo K2 was a thing in the 80s. The Beretta AR70/90 was also a thing in the 80s.
another modern example is the SIG SG 553 AL US variant
@@hoppinggnomethe4154 I knew that part, I just could've sworn that they were both AK/AR derrivitives
So funny kalashnikov looking for the charging handle to clear the at-15
The funny part was him trying to load the mag like an AK.
Stoner not wearing ear pro:
Don’t worry boys my hearing is already f*&ked
@ET Hardcorgamer considering how many different types of guns/weapons the US made, invented and used during ww2.
Going deaf/having really bad hearing doesn't sound too unlikely
He most definitely was wearing protection. When he loads the bolty and turns to Ed, you can clearly see it in his ear. 28:20
Timestamps for the First section
1:55 Magazine seating issues in the "bad chinese" kalashnikov
2:40 The cause of the issue found (bolt was hitting the magazine)
3:20 Kalashnikov firing his rifle
5:30 Stoner firing his rifle
7:01 Stoner firing five rounds from the (chinese) Kalashnikov
8:00 Kalashnikov firing five rounds from the AR-15
The cause of the issue was an overloaded magazine. It's what Mikhail said and did. You can hear the sound of him unloading one round.
The last 30th round in an ak magazine should index to the left side. They added a 31st and the spring couldn't compress further to let the bolt move over the bullets.
Feels surreal to see them not only fire their respective rifles, but then to fire 5 rounds out of the other's rifles. Still not gonna get over how they handed the man who made the damn gun what's essentially a Chinese bootlegged version.
@@durzoblint6532 1990, that's pretty much all that you could get.
@@mfree80286 Considering how 1/5 fire arms ever made is an AK model, I would of been fine if they gotten an AKM even.
@@durzoblint6532 Like a WASR? Half a decade too early. China was really the only game in town at the time, Steyr imported 2000 Egyptian AKMs in 1982 and Interport brought 50 side folding Maadi rifles.... AKA rare as hen's teeth comparably. Pre-ban imports of what they were after probably number ~5000 in total, and this is a year into the ban so they were likely being held quite tightly, if they could even locate someone that had such a beast.
"kit guns" like Century made, I don't think that was a thing yet but I could research... takes time to get that together, not sure I'd hand one to The Dude Himself anyways.
Random guy says," single fire only", klashnikov wasn't happy about that. 🤣
@ET Hardcorgamer ya, I don't know if you have ever shot a full auto AK-47 but it's a LOT more fun than a semi
@ET Hardcorgamer the nice thing about a real AK47 ( which is full auto) is their select fire, so you can switch your safety selector to full, safe , or semi . The only problem is a real AK like this is extremely hard to find in America. But I have shot a full AK before (very fun) and I own a semi AK and both are fun
Nyet! Rifel must shoot many bulet!
@ET Hardcorgamer it had semi originally too not just all full auto
@ET Hardcorgamer it is but the reason is cause people dont want to actually use our second amendment rights to fight physically against the tyranny that makes us have to do that cause tyrants dont care unless made to by force not by voting or talking to them etc like that
You’re telling me they couldn’t get their hands on a genuine Russian AK for this? Who fumble fucked that part? 😂
Old people have a saying “an ak is an ak” 💀
In the 90s Russian AKs we’re real hard to come by, a Chinese or Egyptian was what you usually saw
@@jzimmerman284 this is the fucking Smithsonian institute we are talking about here. I’m sure a company with that much money can sort out a way to get a Russian or at least Eastern European AK.
Jesus Christ... amiright.
Or at least let a couple VIPs like them try some captured ones on a base.
Обратил внимание как Михаил и Юджин держат винтовки, у каждого свои привычки Юджин пытается схватить АК так же как М и ему не удобно держать автомат за цевье, так как он привык обхватывать его полностью. В то же время Михаил беря в руки М практически не охватывает оружие и держит его как АК 😅
I don't think Mr stoner was ready for that first round but it's amazing to see two legendary gun designers who built to battle each other actually sit at the same table
Stoner having to insert mag in AK for Kalashnikov is priceless....
It was a Chinese knock off is why.
@@Kimchi_Studios no excuses....hahaha
@@Kimchi_Studios it was because of the mag
@@airaddict3749 yeah it’s pretty common that retailers stick the worst mags in the rifle to get rid of them
@@Kimchi_Studios the AK is not the same as a AKM. that is Chinese schematics there not very good at all.
These reason the mag wouldn't go in was because it was over-loaded. That's why he had that "ah of course" moment at 2:35 and took a round out of it and then it went in no issue. Same thing as when you load 31 rounds in a 30rd AR mag and try to insert it with the bolt closed which I guess only makes sense if yall have ever shot either of these rifles. Also they joke about "bad chinese made gun" but that's a Polytech Legend, literally one of the finest AK variants to come into the US. Norinco (the Chinese company that produced these) worked their asses off to insure the quality of their US imported firearms because the US is a very very profitable firearms market and people will spend A LOT for quality., it was very worth the effort. On top of that Polytech took it further and made hem even better rifles once they came into the country so the rifle he had was not the issue whatsoever.
tl;dr It was just an overloaded magazine issue, it had nothing to do with the rifle. The rifle is very high quality despite the stigma around Chinese made things.
Как думаешь , это сделали специально ( 31 патрон ) ?
they added an extra round to make the ak seem like a hard rifle to reload 😂
@@Genadz13No it was an accident. They just loaded cartridges until it wouldnt take anymore. Most AK magazines won't let you put more than 30 unless you really push hard so someone who didn't know the rifle platform probably filled the magazine or the magazine was really worn in.
What I wouldn't give to see John Moses Browning, John Garand, and all these guys together! It bums me out we ever have to use these in defense against another human, and it can't always be like these range get together's, in my opinion. Hard to tell if these times are the man, or the young man in us. These two guys, both Military Men, both firearms engineers. Eugene did awesome. Mikhail's firearm safety was just IMPECCABLE. I expected a Lil old school Russian salt, but it was super professional. Whole interview was a HUGE treat. John Browning, Sam Colt, all these guys. It's just amazing seeing how they made these with love and care. Even though we sadly need em for self defense, it's great to have them just in case, as well as the range days and hunting. The history and the chance to get to know these guys, it's all been worth it to share that.
I understand Russian, and that translator is pretty bad at his job. He clearly doesn't understand firearm terminology, but he also doesn't seem to understand Russian or English that well either. They could've pulled any old Russian dude off the streets of New York and they would've translated better.
I dont understand russian but judging by my first impression of his translation, i thought exactly what you wrote
Lot fewer Russian dudes on the streets of New York when this was filmed
I understand this I can see the confusion on kalashnikov's face he literally just doing everything they're telling him to but The interpreter is very bad at his job
It was a time when USSR still had to be a thing, so pretty sure that interpreter was from KGB. It could explain both bad terminology and language and kind of awkward behavior like "do you know how to load a gun?"
@@sergeikuranov7033 yeah possibly, if not even very likely.
I don’t know if Russia liked the ar platform but they liked the 5.56. That’s why the 5.45X39’was born.
Yeah the 5.45 x 39 is only traditional for Russians. That's why Mikhail created his last design 100 series AK101 which can be chambered in 5.56 NATO and for global export.
AR platfor with differen varians from different manufacturers is really popular in Russia among IPSC shooters and firearms enthusiasts! People appreciate it's accuracy, ergonomics, accessories' and OEM parts' availability that allows almost any way of customization imagineable.
The Ar is a better weapon in most Area's
Saying the AR is better in most areas is personal opinion considering the AK has been used in all environments around the world for half a century and can run wet,dry, dirty,clean, has less moving parts, can be cleaned faster, taken apart faster, shoot steel or brass ammo with no issues etc. the AR is great platform, but the AK has been proven more reliable and durable for 50 years. Not crapping on the AR Bc it’s good in its own right. But the AK is the superior weapon in more categories than the AR
@@jakeh6980 I get my opinion from forgotten weapon's Ian and various other sources like military arms channel. Both have said the same. Inrange Tv tested both in mud and the AR outperformed the AK. One area where the Ak seems better is in the cold. Not surprising since it's russian
2:42 Kalashnikov: "The magazine is overloaded", proceed to discharge some rounds, Cameraman fails to film his hands :(
kind of a shame neither of them lived to see somebody create the "collaboration" between them in the form of the ARAK-21
@Erozpl01 01 yeah they probably could have done it better, but it's neat to see what someone came up with trying to pull the best features from each of them
Daewoo is better anyway.
I think you have no clue that the FN FNC, the Daewoo K2, the Beretta AR70/90, and the CMMG Mk47 Mutant exist
This was a good point in our history. Two men who created iconic weapons that have undoubtedly directly taken thousands if not hundreds of thousands of lives each, come together in a time of peace and understanding. The 80s and 90s were a nice time.
I'm amazed they couldn't arrange to have an authentic AK brought to the range for this occasion. Surely the US had one laying around from previous wars..
This was 1990, probably not too many Russian AK's in circulation as the Soviet Union was not importing AK's to the US civilian market.
@@LB-oz9hv There was a ton of Chinese though. In the 80's, more people had AK/SKS rifles than AR's by far.
Used to pick Ask up cheap as hell
chinese aks are authentic, they may not be russian but they are built to the same spec
@@LB-oz9hvbruh mikhail kaleshnikov is there
That shit eating grin when Eugene puts the mag in without any issue 😂
The Russian translator goes up to Kalashnikov and asks if he knows how to release the bolt on the AR...totally ignores and proceeds to handle the AR like a pro 😂
How many firearms designers does it take to load a rifle?
At least two if it's a shitty AK.
@@JohnTheRecoilJunkie watch out, a bunch of fudds from the 80s are gonna be mad you said something bad about their mythical Chinese made guns
@@Full_Otto_Bismarck id just laugh cuz they dont know lol i own a type 56s1 and a polytech legend , these are workhorses , i can’t remember the last time ive had a problem
@@airaddict3749 your Chinese garbage is still better quality than the Chinese garbage of the '60s and '70s.
If Mikhail Kalashnikov him self can't get the Mag in your AK, you know it's crap.
Chinese AKs are notoriously poor quality.
If it's as crap as you say it wouldn't be used by so many countries lmao
I see the beginning signs or Parkinson's disease in him the shaking as he's trying to grab something. In the beginning stages you shake a little until you squeeze your muscles
@@xmmTokarev that's because only the poor countries can afford such low quality weapons lmfao it was a Chinese version anyway
@@sgtfoley2 By what metric is every country that uses it poor? plenty of people in Finland live better than Americans do but they’re still issuing an AK
Legendary footage. Thanks for uploading it.
the US giving mikhail bad ak's to make russia looks st*pid in media. it won't happen like that for a reason. USA literally "can" have everything about guns, but cannot bring mikhail proper kalash at all. just ask the soviet diplomat to let mikhail bring real soviet ak to the us. USA is a pure joke and very very evil.
this was a legendary moment in the world!!!!
could sell that target for a million bucks
@ET Hardcorgamer he’s not just the AK designer he’s the AK bender, master of the 4 soviet weapons
whoever masters the AK, AR, Glock and 1911 in all will be called the Gun Avatar
Thanks man, I think without your help we would never be able to watch this video. Personally, I saw them together only in a photo and did not even know about the existence of this film. As a compatriot Mikhail Timofeevich, it was very interesting for me to watch how they showed each other their submachine guns and told their stories. Thanks again, and God bless the Google translator :)
Who are you talking to?
Obviously the person who uploaded the video.@@matthewjones39
so funny to see Mr Kalashnikov "fumbling" with an AK. Also such different times... they were just flagging each other left and right
Lol I saw stoner waving his rifle around like crazy after he emptied the first mag lol
*Use youtube translate* This vid is packed to the brim with gunhumor. Even Mischa trying to tilt in the AR mag is gold 😅 These guys are awesome. May all the swords become plows someday.
34:43 Gene's looking at that overpriced trash like it spat on him. It's owner doesn't realize he's saying pencil barrels are inherently inaccurate to the pencil barrel jedi-master.

I like that Mikhail is wearing an ERDL camo jacket, a man of culture I see. I wonder if he went to a surplus store or something I'm curious how he obtained it
I have these videos too. Talked to a couple of these guys who met Kalashnikov and Stoner.
Imagine dying for your country (USA,USSR) and then years later seeing the designer of the gun who killed you and the designer of the gun you were given at a range like best friends, this is just a mind fuck in general
well you're dead so i don't think you're seeing anything
@@tny7 lmao
You wouldn't see them because you'd be dead
Nothing personal.
Reading your comment was a mind fuck
Two firearms legends but their gun handling is crazy, flagging everyone on the range.
Stoner was crazy. He didn’t even clear the chamber. I thought Kalashnikov actually made an effort though.
People weren't pussies back then
True gentlemen. Revolutionized the firearms world. Getting them together is pretty unreal. Very respectful to each other.
You have these two meet and you couldn’t somehow manage to secure two full auto weapons?? It’s like having Chuck Yeager and Gerhard Barkhorn meet and just give them those little rubber band wind up balsa toys
You bring the inventor of the world's most formidable rifle over and you make him shoot an underfolder. LOL!
Russian AK's were hard to get back then
Gotta respect that trigger finger discipline
They both heard more stories what impropper finger discipline lead9to than everyone else combined
oh this is clasic this is epic i didnt know this existed
That translator ruined the entire thing, he was incompetent. Hey, does anyone think that Stoner looks like a chubbier bro of Hickock45? He voice is similar as well.
20세기 최고의 총기 개발자인 유진스토너와 미하일 칼라시니코프. 이미 두 사람은 세상을 떠났지만 그들이 개발한 소총들은 현재까지도 군에서 사용 될 만큼 내구성과 신뢰성을 인정 받았다.
I would argue John Moses Browning was the greatest firearm designer of the 20th century.
@@literallyshaking8019 That's a given
“We have the men who designed the AK and AR coming to the range. Which rifles should we have them shoot?”
“Let’s get a Weatherby…”
Loved watching all the parts to this series Historical and very interesting
This was a legendary day.
Seeing these two guys shoot each others design was a huge deal to us fans of them both. These guys were absolute legends.
This is gentlemen the greatest video in armaments History . It's like Darius and Leonidas out on a rare walk together .
coolest range day ever - Stoner shooting an AK and Kalashnikov shooting an AR
5:02 "In Russia, we clear the firearm pointed in air."
Eugene was such a G, hip firing the last ten rd mag!
I love how Mikhail grabs for the dust cover on the AR the same way he would on his own rifle!
If you looked he actually closed the dust cover which is what you're supposed to do whenever you're not firing an M4 M16 platform rifle
I feel like stoner was laughing on the inside when the AK wouldn’t accept the magazine lol
Worlds colliding..its like Yuri meets Armstrong
They may not speak each others language, but they both speak firearms. Oddly wholesome.
Because of the cheek weld and length of pull, kalashnikov was clearly more comfortable with the ar than with the ak.
It's because the Chinese AK had a folding stock
After shooting the AK and AR they shot what appears to be a Weatherby and what is definitely a Ruger Mini-14. The latter is interesting in that it was designed by one of Eugene Stoner's colleagues Jim Sullivan.
finally someone notices
Jim Sullivan is very underrated
Weatherby makes beautiful rifles. Definitely heirloom quality.
love how raw this is, the title cards are literally someone pointing the camera at a guy holding a piece of paper
I wonder who's idea it was to get Eugene Stoner and Mikhail Kalashnikov on the same range... and have them shoot mostly a Weatherby Mk.5 and a Mini 14?
RIP to two very esteemed gun designers
The mark V Weatherby is a classic and the most expensive
I think mikhail use a Chinese Ak TYPE 56 not the Soviet Original one.
The magazine is Chinese, they switched to a soviet magazine that actually worked. The gun is an AKM.
The rifle is a Chinese Type 56 underfolder. Look at the front sight as well as the rivet pattern for the trunnion. It's not an AKM nor an AKMS.
@@Hunter_Stonestreet Not an AKM, look at the gas vent tubes. It's a stamped Type 56
Good luck finding a OG Soviet ak in USA in the 90s
@@Hunter_Stonestreet Nothing is more Chinese than the rivet pattern on that receiver and that front sight.
Kalashnikov: looks at target
target: imma go
Ak vs AR Guess What!
Both are amazing and we should learn how to use both and have both.
No
It would’ve been nice to have a second camera pointing at the target he was shooting at
I hope the fact that this is so historic is not lost on anyone! it's like catching 2 lightning bolts in the same jar and I'm so here for it
This is a awesome video.... Thank you 🙏

The kgb translator knew all about American and Soviet rifles 😂
When the translator starts loading rifles 😂
No cans were hurt in the filming of this video.
Giving the legend Kalashnikov a cheap Chinese AK is just plain American 😂 Joking aside. Just wonderful to see two of the most important and best weapons designers together.
Was Eugene Stoner not wearing any ear pro?
Get that man a working rifle. Stoner was a genius
Two great firearms designers in one video!!! Gonna be awesome
I am glad to have followed the trail
Good ol Mr. Kalashnikov still holds his firearm like its a PPSH-41
Seeing them fumble with each others mechanics is hilarious.
That is top of the line Weatherby 300 mag very nice rifle at that time and still is
These 2 have forgotten more about guns than most people know ...
My man Mikhail with the Clayco underfolder.
These videos might be the most significant thing I’ve ever seen. Where have these been hiding?
Ahhh the two legendary man meet each other to fire their both legendary weapons that change the future of warfare
That last round bolt hold open is a big deal when you're shooting at someone and you're being shot at and all you hear is click when using the AK
The two rifles used are a colt sp1 and the ak looks to be a clayco Chinese import

Kalashnikov looks pretty awesome at his older age he is like blasting away with that high end ammo lol
best crossover in history
