Link to original article.

"93-year-old Mikhail Kalashnikov has been flown to Moscow for hospital treatment on an Emergencies Ministry plane after being taken ill in his home city of Izhevsk. The iconic gunsmith is said to be in a serious condition.

The inventor of the AK-47 assault rifle had been admitted to a cardiology hospital in the Russian city of Izhevsk, in the Urals, after suffering a pulmonary thrombosis, when doctors “decided to send Kalashnikov to a Moscow’s clinic for medical supervision,” said Emergencies Ministry’s spokesperson Irina Rossius.

A flying hospital complete with a team of doctors and hi-tech equipment was sent to bring Kalashnikov who also suffers from a heart condition to the capital.

At the end of May Mikhail Kalashnikov spent almost a fortnight undergoing tests in an Izhevsk hospital.

While in hospital the arms designer agreed to transfer the rights to use the Kalashnikov brand name to the Izhmash weapons factory, Russia's largest producer of military automatic and sniper weapons.

The engineer’s health is said to have worsened in December 2012. After a routine check up on December 20 Kalashnikov had to stay in intensive care for some time.

The weapons designer has until recently regularly attended work at the military plant in Izhevsk named after him. "

Why on earth would you call Mikhail Kalashnikov a "gun nut"?

While recuperating in a hospital after being wounded during WWII he overheard wounded soldiers discussing their dissatisfaction with current infantry weapons and he decided to design a new one and he succeeded in 1947.

Not bad for a guy who dropped out of school after 7th grade

Inventor of one of the best firearms ever made. IMHO. It has more than proved it's worth.
Using NH boys logic, i guess Mr. Colt is also a gun nut.

The Romanian AK-47 I own is still my favorite rifle. Drop it in a muddy creek for a few days, drag it through fields and rocks, shake out the dirt and water, load it up, and it will fire repeatedly and accurately up to say, 250-300 yards, errr..., meters....

You will have to clean it eventually, though. All six pieces of it. 10 minutes.

The dude did what he thought necessary to help his country survive through weaponry. It worked, and still does.

Mr Kalashnikov - you rocked, dude.

(for the OP) BTW - what have you done, if anything, boy?

John Browning was a gun nut. :)
An inventor, a gunsmith, etc., but nonothing describes Mr. Kalashnikov as a "gun nut." :doh: You just can't fix stupid. Liberals must all be born with the same brain....or lack thereof.

Whitney; cotton nut?

Fulton; steam nut?

Gates; software nut?
