Mikhail Kalashnikov dead

[CINDERS]

One thing my brother in law told me from his paid holiday in Asia that you never forgot the sound of an AK 47 being cocked.
He went back @3 years ago this time as a paying tourist and thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality there.

One amusing story he did tell me was they were copping a rather rude stonking by the not so friendlies so he and a mate dived under a truck with no further ado, when it stopped raining mortar bombs they crawled out from under the truck and both went rather pale in his words.
Their place of refuge and safety turned out to be a lorry full of munitions which a direct hit would have seen me not telling you this rather ironical tale
