Incidentally Notice the amazing resemblance between the AK-47 and the StG 44 captured by Russian troops during WW2.... this is the real reason the AK-47 was created. They stole tech from Germany.

It's better to steal anything that's good than to invent something yourself that's bad...

Yep, a sad moment for Israel and the global weapon-loving community, one of many fine citizens of this great country. Moshe Dayan is one's favorite though.

He's buried less than a kilometer from where I live (Dayan, not Gal) And he went to the same school I go to

'Tis a shame the man has died. Insert John Donne quote here. Nice guns.

Dayan was the officer with the eyepatch, wasn't he...?

I have to admit the man was a warrior.

He looked hard as nails and very much the soldier!
