Russia's new Kalashnikov statue has a problem.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41367394?

"Mikhail Kalashnikov's monument was opened this week to great fanfare by government officials and members of the Russian Orthodox Church.
But arms experts said a drawing on the base of the statue showed the StG 44 rifle used by the Nazis during WWII.
It was removed by an angle grinder."

But , the stg 44 was perhaps the real father of the kalashnikov ....

Shhh! Do not attempt to dispel the mythos of the brilliant Russian farm boy who single-handedly hand forged the AK47 from old tractor parts. :rolleyes:
