AK or AR?

[justinsaneok]

I've had multiples of both. I have 1 AK left and a few AR's. I've used an AR for some time as it was my duty weapon on the PD.
I really do not agree to the 5.56 being an under acheiver.There are some devistating loads.
Generally an AR is the more accurate of the two. Certainly at longer distances. An AR is very reliable so long as it is maintained properly.
An AK is reliable regardless of how it is maintained. The 7.62 x 39 round is a good, defensive round.
If I was in a survival situation with limited resources, an AK would definetly be by my side.

I concur.

I like them both.The AK gets the sneers at the range and the AR gets the drools.But when I bring out my long barreled .223 AK it gets looks of awe!Plus it shoots as good as my AR does.

I primarly own AKs, but I'm in the process of building an AR. I've got more experience with AKs, so that's what I prefer, but that might change after I get my AR built.

I've got more experience with M16s and M4s ....and still prefer the AK.
Funny world.

If I was going to swing to the darkside it would have to be something like this. I just can't make myself get away from the 7.62x51.



So I spent some quality time this afternoon with something that looked a lot like this one. You got some convincing to do before I'm sold on anything starting with AK but I'm open.

[RIGHTWINGJOE]

BOTH have their areas where they shine... BOTH have their areas where they suck.

That said, I like BOTH!

Shit! Leave Krupski out of this!

Fucking hilarious.

Im an AR guy, but I would have to say the only answer the the AR/AK debate would be to own at LEAST three of each.

The best post so far on this thread. Here, here.

+2. Got the AR already, and no probs with it yet, but AK will be added once funds are available...and I get some input from you guys as to which would I should lean towards first (of many!!).

I'm curious to know what caused the malfunction.

Well, I'm going to make use of personal experience:

Today, actually, my wife took her AR out, shot it, and after firing about 35 rounds through 'er it jammed--now this may have been a magazine issue, but I don't believe so. I'm going to buy some sturdy PMAGs and see if it will fix this problem.

I haven't cleaned my AK in abut 300/400 rounds, and I don't plan to for a long, long time. It's hard to stop an AK-47.

In any combat situation, I don't want a primary that has any chance of jamming--even if it is because of a magazine.

[AK-J]

I've seen both malfunction. Though AR-15s seem to malfunction more often... However, it seems almost all malfunctions are from either crap ammo or crap magazines in both weapons.

[Solidus-snake]

I have put over 200rds through my AR with no cleaning and zero malfunctions.

I like both and so far both have been very dependable.

I say own at least 1 of each :]

[Bluedog]

Should I get a 9mm or a .45.

Also, I like 1911, but I here they are outdated and should get a Glock. Is that true?

[Bluedog]

I have 5 AKs in 4 calibers (7.62, 5.45, .223, .308) and 5 ARs in 3 calibers (.223, .22 [A REAL .22 AR, not a clone] and 6.5)

I'm curious to know what caused the malfunction.

That darn-dirty Wolf ammo. =D

Really, though. I'm not too sure. This is a new platform to me so I couldn't wrap my head around it. I need to get more trigger time with it so I can find all the kinks.
