:42:02
is that there's no shortage of ammunition.
:42:08
This was the chaos
:42:09
that the Old Guard had always feared.
:42:11
As far as they were concerned,
:42:13
I was giving arms dealers a bad name.
:42:15
But they could hardly report me
to the Better Business Bureau.
:42:20
And Ukraine wasn't the only former state...
:42:22
with an unpaid army and stockpiles of guns.
:42:25
There was Bulgaria, Hungary,
Poland, Belarus...
:42:30
all there for the taking.
:42:36
Of all the weapons in the vast
Soviet arsenal...
:42:39
nothing was more profitable than
Avtomat Kalashnikova,
:42:42
model of 1947,
:42:44
more commonly known as the
AK-47... or kalashnikov.
:42:48
It's the world's most popular
assault rifle
:42:51
a weapon all fighters love.
:42:53
An elegantly simple nine-pound
:42:54
amalgamation of forged steel
and plywood.
:42:57
It doesn't break, jam, or overheat.
:43:00
It will shoot whether it's covered in mud
:43:01
or filled with sand.
:43:03
It's so easy, even a child can use it
:43:06
and they do.
:43:07
The Soviets put the gun on a coin.
:43:08
Mozambique put it on their flag.
:43:11
Since the end of the Cold War,
:43:12
the Kalashnikov has become the...
:43:14
...Russian people's greatest export.
:43:16
After that comes vodka, caviar,
:43:18
and suicidal novelists.
:43:20
One thing's for sure
:43:22
no one was lining up to buy their cars.
:43:38
What fucking documents?
:43:45
You listen to me, Lieutenant.
:43:47
You keep them there.
For as long as you can!
:43:49
Fight You listen to me, Lieutenant.
:43:51
To the death! Moscow is behind us!
:43:53
It's an order!
:43:54
I thought you supposed watching
out for these people.
:43:56
How can I?
:43:57
You keep selling my helicopters.
:43:59
You are too greedy, Yuri!
