@BennyNgYK not to mention stamped 1mm steel receiver doesn't add the weight it's the whole BCG/piston assembly that adds the weight. A scope doesnt magically add a match grade barrel or reduce the "slop" in the action.
@BennyNgYK ok? Havin a scope doesn't magically make something accurate. Ak are accurate enough WTF does a scope do? It has everything to do with the action,barrel, and ammo. Polymer vs wood yes lighter. Stamped aluminum "frame" not sure what part the "frame" is but it wouldn't be able to hold the BCG in. You need steel rails to hold that BCG in place in the receiver if that's what you ment by "frame" forged aluminum not sure but I'm sure there is a reason it hasn't been done.
@KingOfNormans 7 moa is the accepted MOA for assault rifles and for .338 .408 and larger calibers i think it's what 0.50 moa or something since they are meant for 1k+ yards and with anti material rifles it's i don't know but there standard is 1.5 moa
Fuck the function it looks shitty right? Bet you never used any I then in any tactical scenario. During tac classes a lot of that shit comes off I agree. But a flashlight is always good to have on a carbine especially in an inside and dark scenario and a good co-witnessed red dot is awesome but I do agree learn iron sights first. who cares if it looks ugly or not and focus on function.

M14 wins ,full auto,semi auto,accurate as hell,low recoil,almost impossible to jam,feeding system is not allowing it to jam,ak47 kicks like horse when full auto(i know how it feels i got chance to try it out) ,there is big piece of metal going left-right and its unbalanced so its throwing gun around like crazy

@CaptSanderson I don't know, it's probably a scope, flashlight, laser, a bunch of shit that hangs off the handguards and makes a shitty gun look ugly. Yes people do it to AKs too and it makes me sick to my stomach.
The stg21 also is more like an ak105. Quality varies and is usually hit or mis with a century wasr10 but there are top tier ak clones just like in the ar world. Ak47world is a good source what to look for if thinking about getting one.
Type 56, wasr10, stg21, ktr-8, vepr, mk-2,sa93,slr96 all clones but built pretty much the same shit a Chinese mak-90 uses the 1.5mm thickness receiver and double hook trigger and is a very good clone along with some Bulgarian ones. unless you have a tax stamp and it was built before 1986 most civis are going to have a "clone" just like most AR15s are clones shit FN makes some m16s for the military.
At 200yds I can make very nice groups with my sgl-21 although it's a semi auto clone it still functions like an ak47 or ak-103. AKs are not as inaccurate as people who never touched one claim that said the AR/m16 rifle is not as unreliable as people who never touched them claim. 90% who post on these types of vids have very personal and strong opinions for never firing these weapons.
Stg44 had a tilting bolt while the ak is a rotating bolt...very different. Although some similarities of the two there are plenty of major differences like the way the bolt works (major part in a rifle) is really quite different.
I've been told that most of the so called "AK-47s" are technically not true AK-47s, and that most are actually the Type-56 (called a clone by most, but it's still a different rifle) and The Warsaw nations almost entirely replaced their rifles for the superior AKM rifles (which were as reliable as the myths claimed the AK-47s were) making actual AK-47s effectively rare guns. The designation "AK-47" is also erroneous, it's really the Avtomat Kalashnikova, but westerns called AK-47 so it stuck.
these people are fukin retarted in this video the reason they wanted a round tht can go 600+ meters its for stopping power and jus cause cuz u dnt want 5000 germans lesss than 300 meters or ur more in likely fuked plus ur not the one gettin shot at dam people are stupid as fuck
One of the best in the world. Only the new State of the art rifles can compete with it.

so what happened to that Kalashnikov guy =S ? probably he got killed as the others who were intelligent =( it says that, when those Russian builders, built the Kremlins towers, those builders got their eyes removed so they couldn't not build the same buildings in other countries =( that sick =(
@JohanOlsson wtf are u talking about man is alive and he was at celebration of AK-47 fifty birthday,u believe to much in americans propaganda that is truying to portrait everyone as bad guys and only americans are good guys and saviours of this world
@DiscoDude82 pardon me for interfering but the AK-47 is not pretty good in long range compare to the m16 and FAMAS even thought they have smaller caliber round they can shoot the enemy's head at very long range so the ak can be considered old today
@903strikerunit True, assault rifles like those are individually more accurate, but thousands of rounds from AK's do the same job and have a psychological effect as well.
@DiscoDude82 but if you continuously fire the AK. you'll wasting ammo which is vital for this gun because of it's bulky magazines which is hard to carry. check the documentary ak vs m16 if you don't believe me
@903strikerunit Good point, but the average Soviet conscript wasn't an expert marksman like a standard M16 user, so I'm saying that their only option was to keep firing until they hit something and rely on their buddies to shorten to make hitting something more likely.
@DiscoDude82 so they're just a bunch of untrained soviets firing their AK's wildly while the U.S marksmen shoot them one by one at long range with their m16 and m4's
@903strikerunit According to the department of defense, the a US soldier armed with a M16 would use 50,000 to kill one enemy soldier in Vietnam. So I guess US soldiers were shoot their M16's wildly too. One of the reasons why they took out full auto for a 3 round burst I assume. Soviet soldiers were armed were long range weapons too. SVD',PKM's, artilery.
@903strikerunit Most combat engagements are within 300m's or less, which is the AK's effective range. The AK-47 is an old weapon. Of course. The Russians have replaced it with the AK-74.
@erer270 its not as accurate as a Remington 700 or similar , but its plenty accurate as a Galil, FN FAL, and the SCAR (provided you have a good zero on the sights)
@DiscoDude82 I've seen a couple videos talking about how it's sighting system is more akin to that of a machine gun than a rifle, it wasn't really built with accuracy in mind, however it is still very inaccurate, and for a soldier being able to hit your target one the first shot is going to be more important then spray and praying at 600rpm, and considering the AR-15s are more accurate, even at full auto at 800rpm...
Can anyone knowledgeable about the matter tell me if it's fair to say that this Russian man PLAGIARIZED the Ak-47 from the German Sturmgewehr??The looks are same and as the narrator here says the Russian old man was "Impressed" by the Sturmgewehr..Well, be fair in your answer...We all hate the Nazis, but let's be technical about facts!!
The most significant fact in the whole debate is that Hugo Schmeisser the designer behind the MP-44 was working in the same factory where Kalshinokov was perfecting the AK-47 and he stayed there from 1946 to 1949, the very year that the AK47 went into service!
I don't believe the AK-47 is a direct copy of the MP44, in reality it uses different features of various other arms and the design has nothing new or revolutionary.
I would disagree that it is plagiarized. More like innovated from MP44
This AK47 is the only weapon is now being copied more and more and keep in mind that it can be accurate, but it is not designed to be a distance weapon as more engagements are not at a distance any more. It is the most reliable weapon on the market today and many specialized forces and anti-terrorist units use them along with anything chambered in 7.62 because of its powerful punch especially at close range.
@vasilikosolov Actually, I fired a Chinese copy in China a few years back and it performed as flawless as a Russian AK, I even dumped in mud and water. If any Kalashnikov jam, its probably an American made one that chambers a 5.56 round.
@AAV47 the AK on full auto has high recoil and poor sights wich makes it not very accurate.weapons like the german G36,Austrian Styer AUG,British SA 80,and American M16/M4 would be more accurate on full auto cause they have a smaller caliber and better sights than the AK.but the AK is the most reliable weapon ever created
@texasrangersr1 oopsie. I meant reliable, not accurate. definitely AK is the most reliable full auto there is out there, but bolt action wins :) never jams!
@texasrangersr1 Cool! I never fired a gun but am quite interested. I heard sniper rifles have "floating barrels" to ensure the barrel vibrates naturally for accuracy. What's that about?
@AAV47 what you're talking about is a "free floating" barrel. The barrel doesn't touch the stock in order for enhanced accuracy. When fired, the vibration won't reach the stock since the barrel is attached to the receiver which is attached to the stock so that the natural vibrations won't be interfered with. When not free floating the micro vibrations created could throw off the trajectory of the round.
@buehlerama yehp the new line of G36 rifles and youve improved our M4 Carbines into the HK 416s and the MP 5 the UMP series and the MP 7A1 some of the best guns in the world
the ak was made during ww2... i cant think of the guys first name but kalashnikova was wounded and he designed the weapon while wounded but he finished it in 1947
The Stg-44 Was the first weapon to bridge the gap between
the Sub-Macinegun and the Bolt action Rifle succesfully with its 7.92x33mm "Kurtz" Bullet
And is the First True "Assault Rifle".
Had the Stg-44 been put into production in 1942 when it was originally conceived
and made in sufficient Numbers,then there is no doubt it would have had a huge impact in all theatres of WW2 and beyond,negating the need for an AK-47.
But it wasnt to be and the AK became the rightful Heir to the Throne.
@tuck234, there is an smg version if the Ak, the name escapes me but it's chambered in 7.62x25mm tokarev, used by east german soldiers and Russian special forces
what are the defects for the ak47 apart from being heavy and inaccurate. the m16 clearly shows its flaws whereas the ak doesn't leading me to assume that the ak has an Achilles heel. my philosophy is that if show your flaws then you know you are vulnerable whereas if you don't show your flaws then your vulnerability will lead to your downfall.
@crawford4140 Its defect is its reliability. I guarantee that Kalashnikov will reliably miss its target 100 times out of 100 at any distance outside of 75 yards. Not a good weapon for well placed fire at ranges, but good for fighters who aren't trained on more advanced platforms like AR15, HK G36, etc.
I can assure you never had much experience behind a ak at all, ak rifles in 7.62x39mm with decent ammo can effectively kill targets out to 300 yds all day long. If that ak is in a 5.45 to 5.56 caliber, 400-500 is now its effective range. I own a few arsenals in 7.62x39mm and 5.45x39.5 mm and my brother in law owns a 5.56 ak, and I have proven this time and again, these guns are WAY more accurate then what people think. My ak gets on average 2-3 moa at 100 yds, that 6-9 in at 300
There is no better weapon or work of art in the world that is more perfect and beautiful than the AK-47...Mikhail Kalashnikov is the worlds most talented man.
Which rifle was turned into a sniper rifle? Which rifle was turned into a LMG? Which rifle was turned into a shotgun? Which rifle was turned into an SMG? Which rifle will still shoot after you shit in the receiver? Which rifle was turned into every other gun physically possible? The mother. Fucking. AK-fortyfuckingseven. NOT the M-shitteen.
@bakathirteen Your opinion is way too biased to give the AK that much credit. If I remember correctly, The AK47 was never turned into an SMG, but into a carbine yes. And look at the many weapons now that have been created. What you call the M Shitteen, was actually the base design for many high quality weapons like the HK416, FN SCAR, Bushmaster ACR, IWI's TAR 21, SIG Sauer 516, and many more. Also your comment on how the AK bacame all that, the M16 system also has done all those things as well.
@tuck234 FYI the tar 21 was based off the galil, which in turn was based off the ak47, so actually the tar 21 is based off the AK 47 too. Israel decided that the M16/M4/AR15 rifles provided by our military to their country were to unreliable due to the dusty environment israel provided, and thats why they made both the galil and the Tar
@DramaticGnome1210 Not really. the TAR 21's design was created by Zalmen Shebs, with the intended purpose of creating a weapon more suited to urban combat than the M16/M4 carbine. The Israeli Military saw the M16/M4 unsuitable because the gun seemed too long for tight quarters. The gun never was based of the Galil or AK in any way. Zalmen Shebs got his inspiration from the M16 an M4. He also saw many Bul-pup rifle designs like the SA80, FAMAS, and Steyr AUG. Thats how Zalmen created this rifle.
@tuck234 Actually if you look at a picture of it disassembled, you can see that the only thing it has in common with the M4/AR15 is the bolt locking mechanism, whereas the whole gas system is almost a direct copy of the AK 47 and Galil, the only difference is its further refined. Also, the Tar 21 takes the ideas incorporated into the AK and Galil of minimum maintenance, simplicity, large moving parts, and lots of room between parts not necessary to accuracy, so it is based off the AK designs.
@DramaticGnome1210 Simplicity of minimum maintenance can be found in a lot of weapons. The TAR 21 was designed to be very accurate as a full sized assault rifle, but maintain to be a very carbine sized rifle. The piston head design is refined, but you can't say it was straight from the AK. Zalmen didn't get it from the AK or galil. He designed the piston, which actually commonly used for AR15 models, and put it in the gun. Every weapon has to be tested to be easy to use and maintain.
@tuck234 Im not saying that he just copied the AK, just that he drew from designs such as the AK and Galil and improved them to help make the TAR a more reliable and accurate and assault rifle than its counterparts .
People who badmouth the AK are talking about a weapon that is still being used today from Africa to Asia to gangs in America and Brazil. A cheap, reliable weapon with a 50 year design that is still being used today.
@1987Liono Means very little if they are used by criminals. The AK47 is copied so much during the 1950's-1990's that its not a surprise that they end up in the hands of criminals. The AK was only designed to be good enough weapon to quickly give to the countries soldiers. And when you say cheap 50 year old design used still today, it is just the one rifle. Most of the new weapon designs are based solely on the M16 or M4.
ak 47: good punching power, does not malfunction easy, but an okish range, the m16/m4: okish punching power,depending on model weather it malfunctions alot, but good range . so if I were to go into battle I would take BOTH with me :D
@daybreak1HP Well i prefer the AKs open sights to the ARs ring sights in wooded areas just for the fact that i have more open view of the field. ARs sights are better for longer range shots though.
@sasorinodanna13 Because the US and Russians weren't shooting directly at each other, which would be a hot war. They were usually using proxies to fight and selectively committing their own resources in places like Afghanistan and Vietnam
Is the AK really that invicible? Its reliable and durable in almost any conditions from what I heard or seen. I read in a book that the AK had some fatal flaws with the magazine clip or something but I don't really know for sure. I would like to know the Ak-47's flaws because every other comment I read or seen was more about the M16's flaws which of course is obviously present.
@crawford4140 its HEAVY as fuck, inaccurate as shit, the ammo is inaccurate, not good ballisitical, and is heavy as hell along with the weapon system itself, the sights are shit but thats just me personally, the only people that use AK's are ones that cant AFFORD AR's
@de4th1snt3nough It weighs roughly nine pounds depending on the type, its open sights allow quick aquisition of target and its possible to get an eight inch grouping at 300 metres, so those points are kinda invalid.
@Krasnyi only if a soldier learns breathing techniques, gets a really good upgrade barrel, and really good precision made ammo. with russian/communist pact quality ammo and AKs any moa is not even possible
@Rimes9845 I didn't even reply to the other comment because at the time of reading it I was with my friend and me and him nearly pissed our pants at the comment because it was so pathetic and wrong in so many ways I didn't even bother to comment, I mean its utube I'm only here to piss people off like everyone else but for god sake please go out and SHOOT whatever your going to talk about, and if that's the worst and most intelligent insult you have for me then I guess Ive not much to worry bout
AK might not be the best weapon when it comes to long range accuracy, but it definately is better at everything else basically than every other weapon. this weapon has been around for more than 60 years and is favoured by almost half of the world, and even till this day people still use it on a mass scale. If you say the AK is so terrible, well why are you americans having such difficulty fighting with a bunch of peasants and their AK's.
@AnalsaurusRex its called the geneiva convention, basically its a "rules of being polite even when your tryign to kill someone" if that wasnt an issue, shit wouldve gotten settled allready.
@de4th1snt3nough AK is not that heavy, they are accurate up to 400 meters(good ones.) AK sights are perfect for battle, AR sights IMO are better for target shooting though. Good AK can cost us much or more then AR.

@DiscoDude82 pardon me for interfering but the AK-47 is not pretty good in long range compare to the m16 and FAMAS even thought they have smaller caliber round they can shoot the enemy's head at very long range so the ak can be considered old today

@903strikerunit True, assault rifles like those are individually more accurate, but thousands of rounds from AK's do the same job and have a psychological effect as well.

@DiscoDude82 but if you continuously fire the AK. you'll wasting ammo which is vital for this gun because of it's bulky magazines which is hard to carry. check the documentary ak vs m16 if you don't believe me
903strikerunit 4 months ago
@903strikerunit Good point, but the average Soviet conscript wasn't an expert marksman like a standard M16 user, so I'm saying that their only option was to keep firing until they hit something and rely on their buddies to shorten to make hitting something more likely.
DiscoDude82 4 months ago
@DiscoDude82 so they're just a bunch of untrained soviets firing their AK's wildly while the U.S marksmen shoot them one by one at long range with their m16 and m4's
903strikerunit 4 months ago
@903strikerunit According to the department of defense, the a US soldier armed with a M16 would use 50,000 to kill one enemy soldier in Vietnam. So I guess US soldiers were shoot their M16's wildly too. One of the reasons why they took out full auto for a 3 round burst I assume. Soviet soldiers were armed were long range weapons too. SVD',PKM's, artilery.

@DiscoDude82 I've seen a couple videos talking about how it's sighting system is more akin to that of a machine gun than a rifle, it wasn't really built with accuracy in mind, however it is still very inaccurate, and for a soldier being able to hit your target one the first shot is going to be more important then spray and praying at 600rpm, and considering the AR-15s are more accurate, even at full auto at 800rpm...

Can anyone knowledgeable about the matter tell me if it's fair to say that this Russian man PLAGIARIZED the Ak-47 from the German Sturmgewehr??The looks are same and as the narrator here says the Russian old man was "Impressed" by the Sturmgewehr..Well, be fair in your answer...We all hate the Nazis, but let's be technical about facts!!
bangalorebully 5 months ago
The most significant fact in the whole debate is that Hugo Schmeisser the designer behind the MP-44 was working in the same factory where Kalshinokov was perfecting the AK-47 and he stayed there from 1946 to 1949, the very year that the AK47 went into service!
I don't believe the AK-47 is a direct copy of the MP44, in reality it uses different features of various other arms and the design has nothing new or revolutionary.
I would disagree that it is plagiarized. More like innovated from MP44

This AK47 is the only weapon is now being copied more and more and keep in mind that it can be accurate, but it is not designed to be a distance weapon as more engagements are not at a distance any more. It is the most reliable weapon on the market today and many specialized forces and anti-terrorist units use them along with anything chambered in 7.62 because of its powerful punch especially at close range.

@AAV47 the AK on full auto has high recoil and poor sights wich makes it not very accurate.weapons like the german G36,Austrian Styer AUG,British SA 80,and American M16/M4 would be more accurate on full auto cause they have a smaller caliber and better sights than the AK.but the AK is the most reliable weapon ever created

texasrangersr1 6 months ago
@texasrangersr1 Cool! I never fired a gun but am quite interested. I heard sniper rifles have "floating barrels" to ensure the barrel vibrates naturally for accuracy. What's that about?
AAV47 6 months ago
@AAV47 not sure but some sniper rifles have thicker heavier barrels to avoid mussle jump
texasrangersr1 6 months ago
@AAV47 what you're talking about is a "free floating" barrel. The barrel doesn't touch the stock in order for enhanced accuracy. When fired, the vibration won't reach the stock since the barrel is attached to the receiver which is attached to the stock so that the natural vibrations won't be interfered with. When not free floating the micro vibrations created could throw off the trajectory of the round.

The Stg-44 Was the first weapon to bridge the gap between
the Sub-Macinegun and the Bolt action Rifle succesfully with its 7.92x33mm "Kurtz" Bullet
And is the First True "Assault Rifle".
Had the Stg-44 been put into production in 1942 when it was originally conceived
and made in sufficient Numbers,then there is no doubt it would have had a huge impact in all theatres of WW2 and beyond,negating the need for an AK-47.
But it wasnt to be and the AK became the rightful Heir to the Throne.

what are the defects for the ak47 apart from being heavy and inaccurate. the m16 clearly shows its flaws whereas the ak doesn't leading me to assume that the ak has an Achilles heel. my philosophy is that if show your flaws then you know you are vulnerable whereas if you don't show your flaws then your vulnerability will lead to your downfall.

@crawford4140 Its defect is its reliability. I guarantee that Kalashnikov will reliably miss its target 100 times out of 100 at any distance outside of 75 yards. Not a good weapon for well placed fire at ranges, but good for fighters who aren't trained on more advanced platforms like AR15, HK G36, etc.

I can assure you never had much experience behind a ak at all, ak rifles in 7.62x39mm with decent ammo can effectively kill targets out to 300 yds all day long. If that ak is in a 5.45 to 5.56 caliber, 400-500 is now its effective range. I own a few arsenals in 7.62x39mm and 5.45x39.5 mm and my brother in law owns a 5.56 ak, and I have proven this time and again, these guns are WAY more accurate then what people think. My ak gets on average 2-3 moa at 100 yds, that 6-9 in at 300

And look at the many weapons now that have been created. What you call the M Shitteen, was actually the base design for many high quality weapons like the HK416, FN SCAR, Bushmaster ACR, IWI's TAR 21, SIG Sauer 516, and many more. Also your comment on how the AK bacame all that, the M16 system also has done all those things as well.

@tuck234 FYI the tar 21 was based off the galil, which in turn was based off the ak47, so actually the tar 21 is based off the AK 47 too. Israel decided that the M16/M4/AR15 rifles provided by our military to their country were to unreliable due to the dusty environment israel provided, and thats why they made both the galil and the Tar
DramaticGnome1210 10 months ago
@DramaticGnome1210 Not really. the TAR 21's design was created by Zalmen Shebs, with the intended purpose of creating a weapon more suited to urban combat than the M16/M4 carbine. The Israeli Military saw the M16/M4 unsuitable because the gun seemed too long for tight quarters. The gun never was based of the Galil or AK in any way. Zalmen Shebs got his inspiration from the M16 an M4. He also saw many Bul-pup rifle designs like the SA80, FAMAS, and Steyr AUG. Thats how Zalmen created this rifle.
tuck234 10 months ago
@tuck234 Actually if you look at a picture of it disassembled, you can see that the only thing it has in common with the M4/AR15 is the bolt locking mechanism, whereas the whole gas system is almost a direct copy of the AK 47 and Galil, the only difference is its further refined. Also, the Tar 21 takes the ideas incorporated into the AK and Galil of minimum maintenance, simplicity, large moving parts, and lots of room between parts not necessary to accuracy, so it is based off the AK designs.
DramaticGnome1210 10 months ago
@DramaticGnome1210 Simplicity of minimum maintenance can be found in a lot of weapons. The TAR 21 was designed to be very accurate as a full sized assault rifle, but maintain to be a very carbine sized rifle. The piston head design is refined, but you can't say it was straight from the AK. Zalmen didn't get it from the AK or galil. He designed the piston, which actually commonly used for AR15 models, and put it in the gun. Every weapon has to be tested to be easy to use and maintain.
tuck234 10 months ago
@tuck234 Im not saying that he just copied the AK, just that he drew from designs such as the AK and Galil and improved them to help make the TAR a more reliable and accurate and assault rifle than its counterparts .
