I do not believe that Mikhail Kalashnikov was as involved in the development of the AK-47 as the Soviets led the world to believe. So who was? Well, there can only be one answer: Hugo Schmeisser. Schmeisser is perhaps most famous for the MP18 (the worlds first submachine gun) and the MP43/44 Sturmgewehr (the worlds first assault rifle). Obviously the latter firearm is more pertinent to this article. Here are a few facts to back up my hypothesis
