[@gmf8171]

Everyone thinks the AR-15 is the best until you explain to them how to properly clean the bolt, and then they realize what an absolute pile of shit that gun is.

[@killgora1]

@gmf8171 I love my AK, but I still think my AR is still a better firearm for a miriad of reasons I don't have time to go into. Yes, they are a bit harder to clean than an AK, but that hardly makes it a piece of shit. Nor are they really that hard to clean. They just take a bit more time, but once you know how it isn't that bad.

[@gmf8171]

@@killgora1 they're hard to clean and cleaning is mandatory. It's so prevalent an issue that a feature had to be added to the weapon and has been included in every clone and variant since.

[@MikeBobby-l7o]

@@killgora1 The only thing AR's have going for them is light weight. That's not nothing but I'll take a simpler to maintain tough rifle any day. Accuracy is also debatable I think it's mostly true that ARs can be made to be more consistently accurate in the sub MOA realm with free floated barrels etc (although now there are free floated AKs too like the shureshot chassis) when it comes to practical combat accuracy though it's a moot point. I have a Zastava m90 that can shoot 1-1.5 Moa, better or at least as good as most AR. AR's aren't BAD rifles, but I certainly would take a AK any day over a AR, especially if my life was on the line and even more so if I was in some kind of shtf survival situation.

[@killgora1]

@MikeBobby-l7o I don't think it's a matter of which is better anyways. Bith have their strengths, and I just like some of the strengths of the AR platform more. The biggest pro of the AK is its ease of use and maintenance. Though I still strongly believe people overreact when talking about AR maintenance, especially cleaning. Both are reliable in their own rights. AK's are good at running even when dirty, AR's are good at keeping crud out and both are exaggerated as to how reliable or reliable they are. My choice for the AR15 is for a few reasons. I definitely shoot better with my AR. I'm a tall guy with long arms and I have an easier time lining myself up with an AR, especially since I can put my off-hand far more forward. Even with the Nato length stock I'm not as good as lining up my sights, especially with my shooting eye being a lazy eye. The stock of the AR is also sits betterin my shoulder. In terms of SHTF the advantage of the AR is since its common ammo is going to be easier to find, and parts are plentiful and are very compatible with each other. Really the argument as to which is better is silly. From my understanding, Stoner and Kalashnikov became quick friends after meeting for the first time and shooting together in the early 90's. I couldn't find anything to confirm their opinions on each other's guns, but I'd imagine they had good praises fir each other.

[@nurgozhin]

You are still at the amateur level. Little bit later you realize that the best ak is 105. After that you want go to the shorter version AKSU. But because 5.45 is hard to get you will make one more cirlce with 223 AK. Many years later, you realize that bigger is better, and you will try to get 308 AK... ...SVD level unlocked

[@THE_BradCast]

I look at it AR vs AK, the ak can literally fire after it’s been dragged through the mud without a dust cover. The AR gets a little dirt in it it constantly will jam because I feel like the AR is more of a precision made rifle not a gun that likes to take as much punishment as its Russian counterpart

[@jakeh6980]

Plus the AR focuses on the Nancy 22 caliber cartridge. It's why so many soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan hate the AR and became true believers in the AK. The AR may be better today than it was 5 or ten years ago; but the AK never has had to change its stripes since it was introduced. The AR/M16 has had to undergo many upgrade changes over the decades so it wouldn't be a pure piece of plastic garbage like it's always been known for. The AK has never had to change bc it's always been proven reliable
