Kalashnikov vs Sturmgewehr!

Sold for:
$32,200 (MP-44)
$132,250 (Type 56 AK)

The German Sturmgewehr and the Soviet Kalashnikov are widely and rightly considered the two most influential and iconic of the modern military rifles. While the German rifle certainly influenced the Soviet design, the two were designed with different intentions and goals. The Sturmgewehr was an attempt to blend the roles of rifle and light machine gun, while the Kalashnikov was intended to blend the roles of rifle and submachine gun - and yet they both reached largely the same practical reality.

Which do you think was the better system?
