About Me
My name is Brandon Herrera. I'm the owner and operator of The AK Guy Inc, a 07 Firearm Manufacturer based out of Fayetteville, NC. I also co-own Stark Media Group, and designed the rifle known as the AK-50.
I've started to dedicate this UA-cam channel above all to have fun, but also as a way to document my entrepreneurial journey for the next few years as I try to grow my companies. Hopefully, people can learn from my example, successes, and failures.
Either way, I'm having a lot of fun with it so far, and I hope it's just as fun to follow along!

Imagine telling him that in 75 years Americans would be collecting them and then mashing sandwiches and Cheeze-Whiz into them.
"Why they do this? That's better than mother Russia provided us on the front line!'
@@codyjames3416 why to see if it will AK still of course.
Ah yes, MattV2099 style
You'd also have to explain what the fuck Cheez Whiz is.
@@stevenbobbybills or I'd bring a can and demonstrate
"So, we're making a film, could you make us some replica prototypes for us to use?"
"Nyet, you use actual prototypes. Much better"
NO REAL PROTOTYPES were used. The guns you see in the movie are replicas made from scratch by a custom shop in Moscow. They did a great job, in my opinion.
It’s like October Skies! But… More… Russian…..
@@machaksilver Indeed they did, if they scared Brandon!
@@machaksilver Wow. Thanks for that. I like your content in both Kalashnikov media and in your own channel
@@radonsider9692 thanks! But I would not really call stuff on my channel "content".
These are the highest pitch russian voices I've ever heard
Ya you would expect Russian to be deep voiced and scary
@@peanutbutterman411 stereotypes
Looks like a subs> dub situation to me
wait till you hear actual russian voices
My parents car salesman was russian and he had a deep and scary voice.
As a native Russian I have to say that this would be a different movie if listened to in Russian.
Can't wait for "Hi-Point: The Disaster"
U mean the miracle u monster lmao
Hi-Point: The Meme
High Point: Origins of the Yeet Cannon
Nice pfp
The hi point 10mm rifle on Matt's channel is sweet tho
Somewhere in an alternate universe, Brandon's channel is all obsessed with the AR.
Real talk, if I didn't live in a shithole country, I'd be out there trying to get as many of the weird post-Vietnam prototypes of the AR-15 I could, those things are great fun to research.
I might report this. This is obscene, and disgusting. Down right abhorrent.
The Ar Guy?
I dont know, AK daddy sounds badass, AR daddy somehow sounds incestuous.
That's a scary timeline
As a lathe/milling machine operator, i can say that these ecenes are very relatable. Especially when he says "We're gonna have to eyeball it." It's exactly like that when you're making something from scratch.
lol so true
Bro, you desperately need solidworks then. You won't eyeball anything even when doing from scratch.
@@gl9500 You can get measurements from the drawing?. And it's parametric, meaning if something collide in program it will collide in real life. You can't change dimension without affecting the whole model. Obviously it's still useful when working with old milling machines... Also you can make drawings from the model or vice versa.
When I have an idea, eyeball it, it really brings into focus what I really need then solidwork the the sh** out of IT
Maybe you do it like that, but according to Kalashnikov, specialists refused to eyeball and he got drawing help right from the start.
I'm also disappointed with Barndon for not knowing that Sudaev scene was real, except it was with Simonov and they were competing for a carbine. And that's how SKS came to be.
As for Sudayev, he planned and put his PPS-43 into small scale production in Leningrad... during the Siege of Leningrad. Later he competed with his assault rifle design(not the one Kalashnikov participated in), but he got sick and died before he finished his design.
Also fun fact, when Kalashnikov did his first prototype, he was so exited, he tested it right at his working spot. Yes, he didn't even bother to go outside! Lets just say his superiors weren't too happy. As for when he was working at Degteryov plant, he had to wait a day, and... he waited. One time was enough for him.
8:15 that is actually a hold over from older manufacturing processes where if you had a 3' barrel like on a Lebel rifle or a Mauser 1893 and you had a defect you could still use the barrel as a pistol or revolver barrel instead of for a rifle. This was also the norm in Czarist Russia with the Three Line Rifle, the Mosin Nagant, and the Nagant 1895 revolver. Three line in the old Russian measurement comes out to 7.62mm
I was a chief technical advisor of this movie. Unfortunately, creators ignored my advice, so I am not a big fan of the final result. I wouldn't take this movie as a good representation of his story, Kalashnikov's real life was much more thrilling and incredible.
NO REAL PROTOTYPES were used. The guns you see in the movie are replicas made from scratch by a custom shop in Moscow. They did a great job, in my opinion.
My good friend Konstantin Podgornov drawn all the blueprints for the movie, but the creators messed it up and used blueprints for Type 3, while they had a perfect set of blueprints available. Shame.
Type 1 in the movie is not a good representation of the first batch, it has a wrong muzzle device and charging handle. Again, the real deal was available, I personally picked the best available rifle, but it never made it to the movie.
Same for the final scene, they had enough type 1s to put them in the front row, but nobody cared.
If you want to talk about the real story, we can do that eventually.
Well, as expected, the director pulled the old "I'm an artist, I see it like that" card. It's shame when the moviemakers ignore the advice of people far more competent on the topic.
Thanks for your work nonetheless.
@@avtomaticeskijrazdatcikgus2713 thanks. The only real achievement I've made was inclusion of Lytii in the story.
What a shame that the creators weren't listening to you. It could be a much better movie - instead, we got a fairy tale where we didn't see any real development of the actual AK.
I would love to hear the story from you with more details. Perhaps some collaboration with Ian McCollum? :)
@@BloPsy__ Thank you! Perhaps
It's kinda sad that all this information is buried deep in the comments...
You had one job people! :D
I was born in city of Izhevsk and saw Mikhail Timofeyevich. He was walking down Pushkinskaya street (main street of Izhevsk) with younger lady (i assume his daughter) and huge dude in a black suit(bodyguard i guess). I was a little kid and was going to visit one of my buddies so when they passed me by i was just standing looking at them. Now i realize it was one of the most memorable moments of my life, Legend and one of the most remarkable people of Soviet Era walked few feet away from me.
How did you know it was him? Did most Soviet citizens knew what he looked like or something?
@@clamum I am not sure about all Soviet citizens but when I was a kid I saw him on local tv channels almost every week (I even remember one particular tv show where he criticized m16))) Izhevsk is not a huge city and when you have a celebrity of his caliber living in a relatively small town everyone knows him.
@@timkey87 Very cool man! Thanks for sharing.
@@clamum Yes. The Soviet educational program meant the study of EVERYTHING. From writing music to building a house. From childhood, they were taken to local factories / enterprises / construction sites. They were taken to military exercises. Even today, military exercises are being held in Russian schools, in which even girls take part. Any Russian girl can disassemble / assemble an AK. Do you think these people might not know one of the most popular designers of the USSR?
Yo that's fucking cool

the opening looks like when you start up a modern AAA game with all the middleware logos
Hearing about these stories is always great. As an Australian, I enjoy the story of Wardell and Kunzler working hard to try and get the SMG originally developed by an NSW kid named Owen to be accepted by the very obstinant and uncooperative Defence force. But by god with their persistence and their clever use of media, they got the government to tell the DF to put it to the test and it won against the MP38, the Thompson, and the Sten.
And it was used right through the Vietnam war...
Australia is famous for not upgrading weapons if they can still shoot..
All the maddest lads come from NSW 😎
Would love a movie on the Owen gun story but I doubt they would make an accurate one these days..
Supposedly he retied to a farm after the war but still designed and made some rifles but I have never been able to find any design docs or photos of his rifles..
I have seen his first prototypes in St. Petersburg military museum. One of the biggest military museums in the world. There is one exposition dedicated to Kalashnikov. Definitely worth the visit, recommend to everyone.
Can't wait for the movie "Herrera" in 75 years, the underdog tale of the designer of the first AK-50.
More like "the only AK-50" ie the unfinished prototype
Can’t wait for “kalashnabren : the movie.”
The AK 50 movie is looking like its going to be like the Tucker car movie
Yes
Stop giving attention to people who dont deserve it
“If it wasn’t for him I probably wouldn’t be here,”
You mean like you’d be in a normal field of work, or six feet in the ground...?
maybe he´d never been born...
I’m so goddamned sorry.
Use some common sense.... He's the AK guy....
@@Vaporisers he could have liked guns anyway... he could have been the AR guy.... lol
or the AHK guy (automatisch heckler und koch guy. )
Well when you consider the butterfly effect, it’s possible the entire world would have been a very different place had this rifle not been invented.
sometimes i ask myself what had happened if sudaev lived longer to complete the AS-44

@@jason200912 I laughed so hard
17:09 ➡️ AK going into water and sand... works flawlessly. Meanwhile AR owners, "yOU Can'T dO tHAt To A gUN!!! Reeeeeeeeeee!!!"
Some random dude : Owns an original Type-1 and some original spare parts
Brandon Herrera : Let's talk
As you open a dusty old box you have that was your grandfathers you see what looks to be a parts kit for a type-1.
A minute later you hear a subwoofer and as it slowly gets louder your attic you are in starts to shake you think man is this a earth quake?
As the subwoofer gives way to hard base you realize its soon it’s coming from the walls as the noise gets louder
suddenly you see a man wearing a black tight tee shirt, blue jeans, combat boots and a pair of aviators phase though your wall as the hard base subsided he takes off his glasses takes a deep breath through his nostrils and says “is that a type one behind you?”
He looks past you to the dusty parts kit. “Lets talk pal.” A second goes by and he puts his glasses back on “I think you pissed your self so ill be in the living room queueing up some red dawn while you change your pants. Oh, and bring that parts kit when you come down.” As he leaves your attic.
Basically, they built the AK in a train depot steam shop. Thomas the dank engine intensifies.
The movie is just like most movies, complete and utter BS.
Thomas The Dank Engine 😂 I need that on a shirt
Where have you been the past decade, Thomas the Dank Engine has been a meme for years already.
No, Kalashnikov build his first SMG train depot steam shop. After that he developed another SMG, a light machine gun, two semi-automatic carbines, did some other work and only then he developed AK 47.
@@PaulVerhoeven2 What?
Seeing your passion and love of this weapon is inspiring. I would have loved to been there when you first watched this movie. It had to be great.
Необычно слышать инглиш дубляж к нашему кино 😄
"Калъяшникаф"
As they submerged the weapon in water, all I could think of was that they were baptizing it to please the machine spirit.
Praise the omnisiah
Praise the machine spirit.
Rise rifle you are now slav and now to the fields of war and defeat our enemies and make them want you for themselves.
When they pulled the gun out of the water, the water was turned into vodka
Nah, I had flashbacks to InRange mud tests and the MAC gauntlet.
The flesh is weak, praise the Omnissiah.

Как классно, что Брендон посмотрел русский фильм о Калашникове, и как грустно, что наши киноделы сделали его таким плохим...
Подождите. Где фильм плохой? Мне честно очень сильно понравился. Но если вы заметили недостатки сможете их пожалуйста рассказать мне?
@@ya_Giviсам по себе фильм не плохой с художественной точки зрения. Но мат.часть это какой-то позор. У вас фильм про легендарный автомат, а аутентичного реквизита в нем считай и нет, хотя делался фильм в сотрудничестве с концерном Калашникова.
@@ramboxd5894 ало, какой реквизит, первых версий оружия было максимум несколько десятков выпущено, а до наших дней дожило вообще единицы, его в природе не существует, откуда его взять, из картона слепить??? По моему пусть будет не та версия АК, но это будет хотябы настоящий автомат...
@@ramboxd5894 Вопрос: Где найти несколько сотен АК первой серии, причем действующих? В мире всего два образца осталось, один из них находиться в Ленинграде, он недействующий и один в Ижевске, он действующий - в полном рабочем состоянии.
@@ramboxd5894так он и есть художественный. Это не документалка, что бы придираться к матчасти, я вот не разбираюсь с такой щепетильностью к деталям во всех моделях АК, тем более не серийных образцов. И мне абсолютно плевать на сколько точно они показали само изделие, ибо фильм не про автомат, а про конструктора.

After watching the movie. I know have a deeper appreciation for the sacrifice and effort put in by Kalashnikov to bring the world one of the most reliable weapon systems on the planet. I always wanted an AK rifle and now I proudly own one. Cheers!
I just finished watching this movie because of your uploaded video here. It was awesome movie. I’m finding myself more then fascinated with the AK platform.
Brandon: “this kids building a sub machine gun that’s gonna change the war”
*it didn’t change the war, it changed the world*
it will be used in ww3 big time
Suprisingly the way they've made the movie it sounds similar to inventor of Owen SMG. It might not have chnaged the war, heck, might not have changed it much even for Australia, but it gave people hope.
Interestingly enough or maybe weirdly, Fedorov isn't in the movie. And he was the one leading the avtomat competition and group of designers that created the round. It's like as if you've cut awat Von Braun out of Autumn Sky. Even if fictional, Fedorov and Kalashnokov should have met. Simonov, Shpagin, Degtyarev. They all started under or consulted him in 1920's.
Funny how it was a copy of Suomi KP-31.
In other words Finns changed the world
@@evs251 sometimes I wonder why humanity even exists... today is one of those days...
Everyone look so fresh, clean cut, and earnest I half expect them to break out a dance number like a Disney musical.
Outside of combat it was obligatory for soldiers to be clean-cut, wear clean uniforms and shine their boots, according to the Army Statute, otherwise they could get reprimanded. Only officers in the Soviet army were allowed mustaches, and navy officers were the only ones who were allowed beards. So, Hollywood often gets it wrong showing teh ebil Soviet soldiers with beards.

The sound of an AK being field stripped is so distinct in that opening. Badass.

Apparently Stoner and Kalashnikov had great respect for each other and admired each other’s designs as well.

@@hawk66100 Kalashnikov thought the selection of a .22 caliber cartridge was brilliant, Stoner thought Kalashnikov's stout 30 round magazine was brilliant.
@@DonMeaker Did you mean .223 that became 5.56 NATO? Because I don’t know .22 AR-15s apart from conversion kits.
Thanks for highlighting this, will def watch it!
This man really knew how to build a weapon. Think about it. This gun has been around since 1947 and it's still one of the best combat weapons ever made. Most other countries have made updated weapons but this one was so well made it's still in use. Says a lot about the inventor.

I know I'm like a year or so late to the party in terms of this comment but this isn't my first time watching this specific video. I was looking for a time and I FINALLY found, purchased and watched this film! All because I saw this video of it, so I wanted to say thank you so much Brandon for recommending such a piece of historical and film excellence. From one AK fan to another, thank you, for real :). This movie is seriously worth picking up a copy.
Pretty much reminiscent to every brilliant design in history.
You have an idea, you take it to the first person, they tell you to f**k off, so you go build it somewhere else and it changes the world. Great video.
I was very sad to hear that Sudayev died in 1946. Probably just days after he talked with Kalashnikov for the last time and advised him to "make it simple". 😯
Indeed as from one designer to the other:
Sudayev passed the torch to Kalashnikov as if to say:
Its up you now,make us proud.
I feel like Brandon cried several times while watching this movie.
Right around the time they started torture testing a Mk1.
It’s like October Skies! But… More… Russian…..
Indeed- he did... xD
he does look like he was crying soo
I know I did
I wish someone would make a movie about the M1 Garand I would buy that in a heart beat.
The ending made me cry a little really touching
as a student I went to Izhevsk - the city, where Mikhail Timofeevich was living and working - to take part in the first international student olympics on applied mechanics. we had an tour to the museum, but most important - at the official opening ceremony Kalashnikov gave a speech and then each team had a picture with him. so that's how I had a great honor to shake his hand
In reality Kalashnikov was working in a group of experienced engineers, who first were sharing their experience and then helping him to master the rifle to the satisfactory level, because first prototypes had problems and were quite expensive and difficult to manufacture.
I didn't watch the movie myself though... but this doubling with English voices is horrible XD
and weird that in the country of origin and with the help of the Kalashnikov company they didn't find any AK looking like the first ones.
and true fact that failed Mosin barrels were used for Tokarev pistols if some part of the barrel was still good
Hello slavic brother, that's a cool story. And yeah, the dubbing is garbage. I'd rather watch it with subtitles and hear original russian voices
I only under stand Russian can't speak hope I can one day
What a cool story, I bet that was an amazing experience!
Not to mention that Kalashnikov didn’t actually do anythin
Hugo Schmeisser was the inventor who was at that time working as German prisoner in Izhevska design office. Kalashnikov was planted next to Hugo to take his design. Hugo Schmeisser come from family with long tradition of making weapons and Kalashnikov had zero understanding of strength of materials. Besides AK, what has Kalashnikov invented since AK? Nothing! Nothing because Hugo was allowed to go back to Germany!
Idiots believe that someone without understanding of strength of materials could design AK is similar to believing that someone without knowledge of jet propulsion could design space shuttle.😂
you know there is an anecdote about 7.62 - even the russian cigarettes had 7.62 diameter so the factories could be turned into ammunition making))
Same with the size of the cans for canned food. Small ones the same size as a hand grenade head, larger ones the size of an anti-personnel mine.

@@eduardoalbornoz2718 Nope. It's true. I wanted to write these facts, but first I looked if someone has done it or not.

If you need tons of guns under a war you need to improvise how can it be possible. And not only Russia came out with such solutions in hard times.

@@hansgruber9685 i forget it a lot. It helps when you name it after yourself
@@hansgruber9685 I've met many that do not know Stoner, but few that don't recognize Kalashnikov. Even fewer know Sullivan and Fremont, yet they are the ones responsible for the AR10 becoming the AR15.
Mikhail was doing very well by Russian standard, he received a massive "Stalin's award" that was a very significant sum of money, he got his promotions, medals and other benefits during his carrier.
So basically Stoner got way less in comparison. As you probably should remember USSR was a socialist country and even it's leaders had less personal riches than a mediocre US millioner (not even speaking about billioners)

Finally saw the movie myself. And I really enjoyed the story. Honestly, seeing an AK. Always brings me back to the first movie I ever saw it in. And that was James Bond: Goldeneye. And I am seriously considering getting my own AK. Good movie, great recommendation.
Hi Brandon, I was lucky enough to have met Gen. Kalashnikov a number of years ago in the UAE at a military arms expo. He and his interpreter had lunch with our small group. He did say something to the effect that he wished he had a Ruble for every AK produced. I was aware of his historical significance when we met. He was a nice old gentleman.
Well this is akward
@Purusothman Murasolimaran nope. It was either at IDEX (Abu Dhabi) or the Dubai Airshow
@@edo178 Not to deny your comment....... Which year is it......
(You've met him)
@@luqmanhakim7379 It was either at IDEX in AbuDhabi or Dubai Airshow. They are usually held on alternating years. It was around 1999 or so. Dubai Airshow 2000 was held fall of 99. It's been 20 years or so and I've been to many airshows and mil tradeshows since. I believe the luncheon was hosted by one of the local banks.
@@edo178 Thanks sir...... 👍👍👍👍
The look on his face when the dude puts the first round through his first gun, to me, looked like "holy shit it didn't explode!" Which after a scene like "fuck it, well figure it our as we go along," seems pretty damn appropriate. . .
Loved the movie. Saw it last year.
Great Book: Blood on the Risers by John Leppelman. Leppelman spent three years in Vietnam. Starting with 173rd Airborne in the Central Highlands, where he describes being separated from another Platoon. When they finally got to them, they were all dead, with M-16’s disassembled to clear jams. He signed up for another year to get transferred out of the Highland’s slaughter. Year 2 was with Riverine. Year three he joined the Rangers and was back operating in the Highlands
Dude thanks for getting on to this movie
Lot's of AKs here, but not Type 1 at the moment. I'll keep an eye out.

I heard Kravchenko too. I got bo1 flashbacks
Lmao and I was thinking that only me see this refference.
Legit heard that and got Cod flash backs…
The numbers…
I've got Kalashnikov's autobiography, and it's easily become my favorite book. Not only is the man's story inspiring (from son of a Kulak deported to Siberia to Russia's foremost and most famous gun designer), he was a genuinely good man and a patriot. There's much to respect and admire about the guy.
Kalashnikov was a great gunsmith/inventor. But do you not think Kalashnikov will self-glorify himself in his own autobiography. Imagen you are a great gunsmith/inventor and have access to a StG 44, and you did not get the smallest insperation or idea from that gun, becuse you already parallell inventnted all the consepts in advance, before you did know about the StG 44. How likely is that?
@@kirgan1000 there were ideas of building automatic guns under intermediate cartridge in the USSR way before Soviet troops layed their hands on the first trophy StG-44, plus you should remember that Fedorov's Avtomat was produced since WWI in Russia (and Fedorov continued his work during Soviet period, upgrading his gun and teaching upcoming generation of Soviet gun designers). And for fuck's sake, just watch what's inside the goddamn StG-44 and AK and compare it. The two systems are different
@@kirgan1000 People that even suggest AK is in any way related to StG 44 are automatically labelled as clueless and full of shit.
@@Alen725 Did you read what I did write, I did say IDEA and INSPERATION. For example the consept and form factor is the same.
A Samsung Galaxy phone is not a Apple Iphone, its have a differently hardware and sofware. But do not tell me that the Iphone was not the insperation.
Do you realy think Kalashnikov parallell inventnted ALL the consept? like the "stamped gun"
@@kirgan1000 No, concept and form factor isnt the same. Also its confirmed that M1 Garand was inspiration for AK, nothing was inspired by StG 44 and I dont even know from where you got that dumb idea. Your example is stupid in this case, its so extremely dumb that I dont know where to start. Iphone was not first touch screen smartphone released and no, galaxy was not inspired by iphone, its not visible in design. Many firearms did exist so why you even think that out of thousands of firearms StG 44 was inspiration? No arguments outside of your full of shit trashtalk.
Thanks for the recommendation. Really great movie.
I feel the passion you have for those weapons I feel the same way you have the best job in the world I will follow you from today on nice video
He DESERVES a movie, his life was WILD.
As a Russian I am flattered you are showing our movies and promoting our guns.
dont let politics fool you, lots of americans love russia and their accomplishments
@@HappyDinosaur23 a lot of russians also love USA and its citizens even if we think you are stupid and fat! I would like to live in US instead of Russia
@@whitelotus6230 Not living in Russia for too long would probably kill me.
@@olaffalo4686 pff what? Who needs this crap?
@@HappyDinosaur23 well not just Americans... Also here in Germany Manny ppl love Russia even if our gov always try something to let them look bad.
Maybe referenced before(?!) but they actually took shot outosin Nagants (older, 39" barrelled models) which typically had their wear at the chambers & muzzles. They would chop the 6"s off of each end which left about 33". This was then split & a 7.62x25mm chambered into both "new" barrels - viola! Barrels for two PPSh sub machine guns. . . ;)
Bought the Movie today. Watched it. Loved it. Thank you Brandon!
For the record, Alexey Sudayev's last name is spelt Судаев in his native Russian. The combination "ae" forms a sound similar to the English pronunciation of "eye." Therefore, his name would be pronounced Soo-Die-Ev, with emphasis on the D sound.
Cant wait to see this movie. Love your content as always, brother.
Now we wait for “AR-15: Almost as Good”
