I met Mikhail at the 1994 SHOT show in Dallas. Actually bumped into him twice. The second time he had gotten turned around on one of the floors and couldn't find the elevator. The first time we had a chance to talk to him and his interpreter he was at the table of a manufacturer of military orders and medals. There were a bunch of Russian medals on the table and he was very emotionally disturbed that people could order them.
By they way, there is a new movie out called AK47 Kalashnikov. Haven't seen it yet, but looks interesting.
