1. The AK-47 does not weigh 12 pounds. More like 8 pounds. 2. The M-14 was not the first US assault rifle. If fires a full-power cartridge so it is a battle rifle. The M2 Carbine came closer to being the first US assault rifle, although its cartridge was too anemic to be considered an intermediate-power round.

AK more accurate than people say...AR more reliable than people say.

@trev6783 2 месяца назад

I think this was the biggest misconception I had about firearms before I really gained in depth knowledge of weapon platforms. Any platform can be inaccurate or unreliable or vice versa. There are only small factors of the platform itself that lend to its performance and reliability. AK's heavy piston and BCG, lend to increased recoil impulse, whereas the AR's direct impingement and light BCG lend to less recoil impulse. Accuracy is largely based on the quality of the barrel and the ballistics of the ammo used. Either way you could have an AK that shoots sub moa, however most AK's are manufactured to be minute of bad guy. Any weapon platform can be built with quality components and be as accurate and reliable as you want.

A friend of mine that was a U.S. Marine told me on his way over to Viet Nam he checked out an M14 from the armory to do some target practice. The M14's they had had no selector switch, the armorer had to put it on aemi or full auto. He said he asked for full auto and the armorer tried to talk him out this, after one magazine he had it changed back to semi auto. ;-)

I have very much respect for the AK series rifle because I have faced it during combat first in Panama 1989-90 and Iraq 2006-08 as an infantryman. I would dispute that the AK series is not very accurate by design. A good infantryman with proper marksmanship skills will hit his targets. I was very lucky not to get hit with it but they came close to taking me out a few times at closer ranges under 100 meters. I own 2 of the semi-auto versions of this weapon.

I am left-handed and if the range did not have the brass deflector, I would have brass flying in my face which did not lead to a pleasant shooting experience or a good qualification score.

Why didn't they talk about the AK74 with its 5.45 round, a couple of scenes when they were talking about the Vietnamese the scene was reversed as the AK safety and round injector was one the left instead of the right as it should be and also, when the big guy emptied the AK magazine on those bottles, he cocked the rifle BEFORE removing the magazine which is the wrong thing to do. Should have removed the magazine before making the rifle safe. Also there are a few ways of improving the AK system. One is changing out the dust cover for one that has a picatinny rail and to allow you to attach a scope or other attachments.

Because the Kalashnikov has a simple structure (although it was developed from the basic idea of the German STG44), it works in all conditions, it is a relatively undemanding weapon, and it has a powerful caliber Compared to this, the M16 or the later M4A1 is a more modern but slightly more complicated solution and it is questionable how well it can withstand extreme conditions Russian weapons are characterized by the fact that they always work in all conditions and are usually cheaper than Western weapons, and even a child can take them apart and put them back together (during the communist period it was mandatory for certain military units to take apart and reassemble the AK47 blindfolded only by touch at the Hungarian Military Forces) Although technically, Russia is generally a bit behind the West in terms of weapons these days, the western arms industry has boomed in the last 30 years

Thats a Chinese type 56 not a Russian AK47, and that is not an AK47, those are likely to be AKMS

And if you want to know how i know, the gun sight has a ring and only the Chinese have rings on their Ak replicas.

It’s true More people have been killed with this gun than any other ! Even Mr Kalishnicov was uncomfortable with this fact saying “I only made this weapon to protect our Motherland !”
