Ok, this should get this section going AR-15 VS AK-47

[Frög]

That video seemed pretty biased. I know gun magazines are 100% biased. But i will summerize the article i mentioned. They compared the two guns on 10 topics, one point for each topic for the winner. Here ya go. let me know what you think. My opinions stands: both weapons have a place and purpose and they dont neccesarily overlap.

RECEIVER VERSATILITY: 1point AR 1 point AK

BUTTSTOCK ERGONOMICS: AR 1 point

OPTICAL SIGHT SUITABILITY: AR 1 point

RAIL ACCESSORY INTERFACE: AR 1 point

STANDARD BALLISTICS: AK 1 point

COMBAT RELIABILITY: AK 1 point

LONG RANGE ACCURACY: AR 1 point

GRENADE LAUCHING: AR 1 point

ERGONOMIC FACTORS: AR 1 point

REMEDIAL ACTION DRILLS: AR 1 point AK 1 point

FINAL SCORE: 8 to 4, AR Winner.

I found these hard to argue with. If you have some more topics to add we can debate those but these 10 are basically set in stone and i think most would agree to that.

Agreed, you can't argue with those being true.. But those don't mean anything! Stock ergonomics? Who cares?

The red ones really don't matter in combat.. The fact that they added those comparing factors was to give points to the AR and an unfair advantage.. I mean, why didn't they add EASE OF DISASSEMBLY(sp?), DURABILITY/RUGGEDNESS, MAINTENANCE etc.. Things that matter! If they did, the AK would be the winner..

Also, isn't OPTICAL SIGHT SUITABILITY an added BS criteria when they already gave a point for the AR for RAIL ACCESSORY INTERFACE? That comes hand and hand! Thats a free point for the AR!?!?!

The Orange ones are also somewhat stupid.. In combat, most of it is done well within 200 yards which accuracy is the same.. Beyond that, use a sniper.. The AK's accuracy is more than enough.. Grenade launching? Sure, but we are comparing the rifle!

About the video, I don't see how it can be biased.. Some fact can be, but the main message of comparing the AR and the AK isn't.. The co-designer is saying HIS gun that he designed isn't as good as the AK.. Shouldn't he be biased the other way?

Edit:

If you have some more topics to add we can debate those but these 10 are basically set in stone and i think most would agree to that.

Ahh I think I might of missed that..
