Quote:Been my experiance that the AK-47 is a far Superior weapon them the M-16 (AR-15). Sure the fire rate is slower but it doesn't JAM!

 

As an owner of both I can say they have their perks and faults. The AR platform is a much more versatile weapon, depending on the make it's usually a lighter rifle then the standard AK-47. The AK-47 however is a much more durable weapon, in a life or death situation I'd rather have my AK then my AR but at the range having fun I'll take my AR most of the time.

 

Also remember the AR models are lighter versions of the real M-16, the fully automatic piston loaded M-16 is very different from the Semi-Auto Gas chambered AR-15. As were the only difference in my AK and the one used in combat overseas is a little retaining clip that easily removable making it "semi-auto". The true military grade M-16 is just as durable as the AK but at about 3 times the price.
