By the way, 4 years ago when I was in Russia, I happened upon a Kalashnikov exhibition at the Artillery Museum in St. Petersburg. Among his lesser-known inventions is a bayonet he designed for NATO rifles, primarily the M-16, in the 90s. From what I gather, he definitely appreciated the M-16 design.

I should post some pics of that!
