He will always be a hero in my mind. A patriot who loved his country and just wanted to design the best rifle possible for its defence. He cannot be blamed for how its used and by whom. Thats like blaming Henry Ford for road deaths.

Not only did he design the AK47, he designed the RPK, the Saiga, the PK, and other guns, which are all still used by almost all of the armed groups in the world, including rebel groups, paramilitaries, and special operations units, due to their cost and reliability. Compare that with the M16, which its ammo corroded in the weather of Vietnam, causing jams, while the Vietcong was literally ambushing soldiers with AK47 guns.

When firing light machine guns spreading your legs out gives you more stability. It's not necessary for rifles. This guy probably picked up the habit and hasn't really found a reason not to continue doing it.

The stance provides a more stable base of support, which helps to minimize movement and recoil. That’s what we are taught.
