kalashnikov

Last name of Russian small-arms designer Mikhail T. Kalashnikov. His seminal design was adopted by the Soviet Army in 1947 (although not fielded for a few years) as "Avtomat Kalashnikova" of 1947, or, "Automatic Rifle of (by) Kalashnikov", abbreviated to AK-47. It is a milestone in firearms design, combining an incredibly robust, soldier-proof design with relatively light weight. The ergonomics, like many Soviet-era designs, are somewhat lacking. The rifle is chambered for an "intermediate-power" cartridge, the 7.62x39mm, which is comparable to the 19th-century .30-30 Winchester. In 1959, the design was modernized and upgraded and the name changed to AKM (Avtomat Kalashnikova Modernizirovannyj; Automatic rifle of Kalashnikov, modernized). This design and its various folding-stock versions was standard issue for all Warsaw Pact countries until 1974, when it was modified yet again to take a new (and arguably less effective) cartridge, the 5.45x39mm, and became the AK-74. All of these rifles are generically termed "AKs" or "Kalashnikovs".
Mikhail Kalashnikov, while a Hero of The Soviet Union, made exactly zero money from the 50 million or so AKs made, and owns no part of the Ihzvesk plant that currently makes the bulk of Russia's AK models.
"The AK-47! When you absolutely, positively have to kill every motherfucker in the room - accept no substitutes!"

Kailas

Kailas is a cool and mature young Indian boy. He is the master of balls which he rivals his brother in. At home, Kailas likes to run in the corner of his brother's room and make chicken noises. His brothers consider him very idiotic and irritating. Kailas loves making friends with teachers and they see him as a friendly, kind and selfless boy. When Kailas has a deck of cards in his hands they are no ways to control his winning streak, if you challenge Kailas to a game of Poker you have to prepare to die. Kailas has a great sense of humour which you will find him attractive for. Everyone is Kailas's friend and you should be thankful that you have a friend like Kailas. But when there is a pot of curry in front of him his true traits reveal themselves. He devours his curry honouring his Indian heritage by using two fingers with only the tip getting dirty. Kailas is just such a great guy
