I may be willing to take a half point vs a full point for this one.

I disagree that they dont matter, but agree that the should have added maintenance in there. Durability goes under reliability in my opinion.

Disagree. Our rail system is seperate from the standard issue top rail for optics. Our rails let mounting and dismounting (just as easily) tac lights, ir lasers and a host of other things that give us an INCREDIBLE advantage, and advantage that is worth at LEAST 3 points lol. Optics is one thing, but accesories that make locating, IDing a potential threat and then sharing that information with others is a whole seperate ball game. IMO of course.

agreed somewhat.

He is just mad becuase his last name is sullivan. Not Stoner. Thats sad he is admitting that a Russian tank commander that had no engineering education out engineered him. I think Mr Sullivan and his son just wanted some attention

ok dammit, im biased. im going to bed. AR is still better for our military and the AK is still better for those miltarys/terrorists who cant afford ARs.

Ok u want the real winner here? HK416, no stfu

Good points.. Glad we can have a civilized debate!

I do want to say that to me, Reliability isn't the same as Durability..

Article I found interesting. Nuances between the two:

One measure of durability is represented by the duration of product ownership. Reliability, on the other hand, represents interruptions in usage during that ownership. The ownership of any product or system cannot be enjoyed if it is continually interrupted and the desired functions lost for even a brief time. This means reliability takes precedence over durability even though both are desired in most applications.

Not saying that the AK is more durable, I would think so but I don't know for sure..
