also the tolerance to sand is not as bad FROG says i served in Iraq and i can say i hardly had a problem with dust and sand yes the ak is very great for reliability but the accurcy sucks the only poeple i have meat that can shoot the rifle good are Special Forces Operators but that comes from years of training and E36_ACE is right about 47/74 they are completly different. AK stands for Avtomat Kalashnikova thats it bumb ass they are to different weapons so i can say the AR 6.8 piston drivin system is the the same as the AR15 because it is an AR
