Quote: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.

 

I'm not sure how to discuss this. Inaccurate stamped out sheet metal? We aren't discussing the same weapons from way back when the AK was the more reliable choice, and that has nothing to do with shooting range fun.

 

You can take waayyyy less accurate all day long, as long as you are on the other team.   I know the AK still lives on it's "very" 60ish year old reputation as some superiorly reliable weapon, but its design is just that ...  Old, and cheaply produced. There are countries that you can buy an AK for under $50.00 ... and maybe in some, you could get 2.
