Things That Are Complex Are Not Useful,

You See, With [designing]weapons, It Is Like A Woman Who Bears Children. For Months She Carries Her Baby And Thinks About It. A Designer Does Much The Same Thing With A Prototype. I Felt Like A Mother - Always Proud. It Is A Special Feeling, As If You Were Awarded With A Special Award. I Shot With It A Lot. I Still Do Now. That Is Why I Am Hard Of Hearing.

It Is Painful For Me To See When Criminal Elements Of All Kinds Fire From My Weapon.

It Is The Germans Who Are Responsible For The Fact That I Became A Fabricator Of Arms. If Not For Them, I Would Have Constructed Agricultural Machines. (...) If Someone Asks Me How I Can Sleep At Night Knowing That My Arms Have Killed Millions Of People, I Respond That I Have No Problem Sleeping, My Conscience Is Clean. I Constructed Arms To Defend My Country.

My Work Is My Life, And My Life Is My Work. I Invented This Assault Rifle To Defend My Country. Today, I Am Proud That It Has Become For Many Synonymous With Liberty.

I Was Trying To Perform As Best As Possible. I Was A Boy At The Time, But Worked Well With The Sickle.
