    How did you forget John Larson the inventor of the Polygraph (lie detector)? He literally referred to his invention as a "Frankenstein's Monster" when he saw how police departments were using it; let's just say there's good reason that polygraph test results are NOT admissible as evidence in a court of law these days.

    • @Esperkama
      @Esperkama 7 років тому +24

      They're not admissible because they are nowhere near accurate enough. A certain percentage of people can outright lie and that's not even going into the variability of results regarding the questions. If anything he should have felt bad for making a shitty invention.

      polygraph was supposed to be made for medical uses but it ended up with law enforcement and others.

      Of course they are a shitty invention. Their functionality is based on emotion, something extremly arbitrary for every person. Someone can totally lie and get away with it, and an inocent person who is socially awkward and generally has problems speaking can be acused for nothing.

    Kalashnikov's intentions were good. He had seen first hand what German troops armed with automatic weapons had done to his homeland and wanted to give his country a cheap, easy to use automatic weapon to defend against further attacks. The problem was that the Soviet Union exported and licensed the gun to pretty much every shithole country and their mother. I think most new AKs today are actually Chinese and not Russian. But that doesn't really matter, since even an old one will work fine, ensuring that used guns would always be available on black markets everywhere. In Africa they go for as little as 50 dollars.

      What do you mean every shithole? They gave weapons to countries who tried to defend themselves. I don't see it as a problem tbh

    • @brody3166
      @brody3166 7 років тому +8

      Think he means countries run by Governments that use imported weapons to invade neighbors and suppress their populations. A good example can be found in some African and Middle Eastern countries that have become highly unstable to to armed conflict such as civil wars or genocidal campaigns against ethnic groups. AK-47's are a cheap and reliable weapon and widely produced, so arming forces with them in those countries is easy.

    • @EngineRX
      @EngineRX 7 років тому +2

      I was talking about countries that the soviet union directly supported with weapons for example Vietnam

    • @bogomir67
      @bogomir67 7 років тому +4

      I think even the Soviets preferred te Czech made ones over their own.
      However, seriously, if you compare the inner parts of an AK47 and an STG44 you see that the AK is not an invention, but a close copy. 4.bp.blogspot.com/-31zR0EjXWJY/VNioFjskCAI/AAAAAAAAYQ0/HCU_Hr-GqDA/s1600/stg44-1944g--sprava-ak-47-1946g.jpg

    All seriousness. John Oppenheimer & the Atomic bomb. While he did feel the bombings of Japan may have been necessary to end the war, though did say he wished they would have tried other means first. He felt that the blood of future victims were on his hands. He also felt the no country, even America, should have these weapons, or should at least work at keeping their numbers very low. This sentiment, among others, was used against him during McCarthyism.

    I stopped at the AK one because if you look into the mans life he was a gunner on a soviet tank in the Second World War who wanted a better weapon for that role than the used at the time DPM-28 machine gun and soon saw the cheaply make and increasingly effective Ak become the weapon of terrorists and corrupt governments. A good contrast is the AR-15 rifle that most of NATO uses being seen as a "good guy gun" while the not copyrighted AK becoming the "bad guy gun." Mikail created his gun for his patriotic duty to His country and his country gave the guns to the most evil regimes known to history

      @wdm117 6 років тому +3

      @Bernoit yeah but it's the commentators statement about how he didn't feel sorry for the man that upset most of us, the man started working on the firearm because he saw he's friends and comrades killed in WW2 due to reliability issues with their current weapons and in some cases on the eastern front lack of weapons at all. When you see young men being rushed into a nazi machine gun without weapons with a pistol at their back so they don't run away, simply cause your government can't afford to arm them, your gonna want to make a cheap and reliable weapon to save them too.

      MyName Jeff The funny thing is that so far that invention saved millions. I say so far because it's likely that eventually a nuke will be used for purposes other than MAD strategies. Without such a surefire way of mutual lost, then the cold war would've never been cold. Not to mention that someone else would've eventually invented it anyway, who's to say that country wouldn't just steamroll the whole world with it. TBH I'm always a little surprised that the allies didn't capitalize on their monopoly on the terrifying weapon.

      He started working on his design before WW2 ended but finished it in 1947
      He designed his rifle for the Russian army and the Russian army only.
      But becauze he lived in the Soviet Union his rifle was not actually his rifle but property of the state. It was basically Stalin's rifle so he gave it Mao Zhedong who gave to the Vietcong and North-Korea who both sold them on the blackmarket where they where picked up by African warmongers and Arabicgoatfuckers.
      He had nothing to say about how is rifle was used becauze it wasn't his at that piont. He didn't design it to be sold on the blackmarket or to get rich becauze he only started getting money for his creation after 1991 and only the ones that where legally sold to lawfull gunowners becauze they where the only ones that actually buyed from him.

    An Athenian in Ancient Greece called Perilaus invented and built something called "The Brazen Bull" or "Bull of Phalaris". The bull was in the form and size of an actual bull and had an acoustic apparatus that converted screams into the sound of a bull. The condemned were locked inside the device, and a fire was set under it, heating the metal until the person inside was roasted to death. After building it and presenting it to the ruler, Phalaris, the ruler became disgusted by the apparent joy Perilaus (who was expecting a reward for his work) was showing for the sort of noises those inside being burnt and tortured would make.
    Phalaris made Perilaus the 1st person for it to be used on. You can bet at that moment Perilaus utterly hated his invention.
    Funnily enough, when Phalaris was overthrown by the next tyrant, he shared the same fate; so he too would have hated the invention he commisioned! >XD

    Kalashnikov didnt initially want to be a weapons designer, he wanted to build tractors. He saw his rifle and its creation as a necessary piece of equipment to give his countrymen the edge they needed to win the war. His design wasnt finished by the time the war ended, though so it saw later adoption. Kalashnikov came up with the design after hearing from frontline soldiers the problems and inadequacies of their rifles had. He set out to give his comrades something better so they were not outclassed by the Germans in every engagement.

    Kalashnikov called the AK a defensive weapon because it was originally meant to be issued to tankers only (MK was a tanker during WW2). Tankers rarely use their small arms, most cases of them using it involve either defending their tank from infantry or bailing out of a disabled tank and retreating AKA defensive uses.

    If I was a weapon designer, and I developed a gun that was even half as commonly used and famous as the AK family, I would be proud to have made such a successful product. I can see why he would've seen it as a defensive weapon, but he made it to replace SMGs, weapons meant purely for rushing enemy positions, where close range fighting is most common. SMGs are meant for an offensive role, so when you make a weapon to replace them, inevitably it's going to be used as an offensive weapon.

This is not unlike what has happened to countless other artists, who don't like what they produced, but what they produced is just too good not to be liked by most of the audience/viewers. Notably, Tchaikovsky hated "The Nutcracker" with a passion.
