My aim is true
Well good folks, something I did not tell you about earlier is one of Lithuania’s more renowned citizens. This was a man who made his mark in history, a man whom I feel commands respect, whose name lives on and probably inspires respect or even perhaps fear to this day.
Who do I speak of? None other than Mikhail Kalashnikov, creator of the infamous AK-47 assault rifle, probably the most renowned firearm in the world today!
I happen to regard it as part of a modern man’s “armoury” (pardon the pun) that he should have the skill of shooting. Naturally I long ago mastered the English shotgun, and many a fine pheasant I have enjoyed as a result. But the AK-47 is quite a different beast. I must admit to a certain fascination and I have hopes I shall lay my hands on one soon and experiment with my abilities and the weapon.
Please do not misunderstand, I am a peaceful man and a gentleman. But I admire the machinery and functionality of the Kalashnikov. Who can doubt that to be a crack shot is an asset for any man? But one can never know what the future holds, and if I were called to arms I should like to be able to defend myself in some style..
So it is that I and some friends are planning to embark on a trip. I'll keep this post brief, and so you can read all about it here. So soon enough I shall be leaving these shores for a suitable venue to practice with the weapon that has become synonymous with modern day combat. Doing so in the place where the weapon originated is an added bonus.
