We all know (well I know) the story of how Kalashnikov's tank was disabled and he had to make his way to a field hospital, and so witnessed the urban combat that inspired the development of the AK-47.

Kalashnikov's weapon has undisputably played a decisive role in world history, so what if it was never created?
