That's what they tell themselves....or for people that care more about using guns than building guns.

Also known as obsolete. I still think they're great though.Also known as " the right arm of the free world "
I'd flip that ratio on it's head, if I were your neighbor.In the USA where combloc ammunition is not available everywhere you step but NATO ammo is, why limit yourself? I can probably go door to door in my neighborhood alone and end up with a ratio of 100/1 556 to 7.62x39.
For that reason alone the AR15 is vastly superior to the AK, at least here in the USA.
Otherwise the rest is just opinions and such. Both are good guns.
You do know that there are AKs chambered for 5.56x45?In the USA where combloc ammunition is not available everywhere you step but NATO ammo is, why limit yourself? I can probably go door to door in my neighborhood alone and end up with a ratio of 100/1 556 to 7.62x39.

NoAre you an AR guy or AK guy?
Yeah, I don't give a flying F what the Taliban does now. They're (and ISIS) not shooting at me these days.So it is ok that the Taliban uses ARs now?
If China invaded, I would get a kick out of shooting back at them with a Chicom AK - but I will hold an AR in reserve for those people who can't wrap their head around using whatever works best.
I agree…. I wasn't knocking anything at all. Hopefully no one's looking to far into my comment.A quality AR is pretty damn rugged.

You've been hawkin' them for years now.Having been shot at by both...and seen just what they can do ....
As well as shooting both...and carrying the M16 series for a great deal...
I can say that both the AK47 and the M16 series / AR15 work very well.
Use what you like and what works for you...,
And don't worry too much 'bout what the other guy likes.
As for me...neither...
I much prefer my Hawken Rifle....

That's what they tell themselves.
I had a colt In 1992 that was set up in X39. the mag's sucked.
And I never said you didn't. I inferred that some people may have trouble wrapping their head around the concept of using whatever works - regardless of who made it, who invented it, where it came from, whoever else uses it, or what they use it for.And I never said I didn't know how to shoot an AK, simply that I had no use for them.
*shrug* - I've got my first experience with an AR in '77, in boot (and I had to teach the other boots how to field strip and clean them because none of them knew bubblegum about guns). Doesn't make me anything special and more importantly, doesn't make the AR anything special to me.As an American, I've got experience with ARs since 1979, grown rather fond of 'em.
...Are you an AR guy or AK guy?
Understand. Relative to my statement of personal history with the AR, I only said that because, after some 43 years, I am gonna dance with the one I brung...I inferred that some people may have trouble wrapping their head around the concept of using whatever works - regardless of who made it, who invented it, where it came from, whoever else uses it, or what they use it for.
