@Joshuamcmichael352 in terms of maintanice, an AR series would have to be constantly cleaned and serviced to ensure proper function whereas an AK can go without maintaince or cleaning of any kind for months nonstop. Nam was a perfect example. And "the most powerful military force on the planet"? the russkies and chinese have not only cracked our so called stealth but have also started mass producing their own nex gen equipment so u might as well throw that "USA is the best" talk lol
Why do people think nukes are the answer? They aren't your regular missile or bomb, these are world affecting weapons. You use one nuke you give every nuclear weapon carrying group an excuse to use theirs. What comes after is a steady annhilation of the human race. Unfortunately because nuclear weapon technology was invented in the first place they are now required as a deterrent to prevent other nuclear weapon owners from using theirs. Use your intelligence, it's what makes us human.
I totally agree, the problem is that they're effective, cheap, and easy to use. We lose too many men to those damn things. The worst part is you never see it coming.
There is really no need for you to be such an ass. He was simply making a point - many people don't know that IED's are the number one killer of troops in Iraq.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
If you didnt know that then u must live under a rock in fukin greenland.
CNN makes it sound like IED's have some amazing homeing device, that drops a nuke, that cant kill Iraqi civilians, but every American bullet kills 10 civilians.
ik its armor group but on 1 of the vids the blackwater dudes use russian weapons because democrats refuse to give them the money to use high class weapons
well i guess ur from the UK our dumbass goverment doesnt give blackwater the money they need to go ahead and use their awesome weapons that they have... reason for they dont give the money is because the US is tryn to give the US troops the money they need in the war in iraq and so on and so forth
oh rite, so if you are going to take personal weapons over there but working for a contractor do you need some sort of permit? im just interested in doing it when i get out of the forces and you seem to know alot about it..
are you in the army or something because if not youll have to pay for your training and its 30 000 dollars in cash. police officers half to pay too because blackwater will only take pros
no im not yet, im staring basic in january mate i am just trying to get my options sorted for the future. At least i will save myself some cash then lol!
@DIESELisBACK900 they're broke lol, and some AK47 variants can cost as low as $30 USD a piece. they are broke just like Mikael Kalashnikov the guy who invented the AK.
@DBSOC actually they are very well funded rofl... new AK's that are made in russia are impossible to get and cost about 1500 a piece. plus russian weapons are much more reliable in iraq weather conditions. ill take an ak74 over an m4 any day.
@Hatinonthehaters Roger that, you're right, we're both right. i shoulda specify, what i meant was places like china, Arab countries, African countries, even south american countries that boot leg the shit out of the Ak, it lowers the value. Now if you got a Russian/Soviet made, you're good to go. I'm more of a precision shooter so i do preferred an AR platform. Don't get me wrong the AK is awesome.
@DBSOC "broke"? lol Mikieal Kalashinkov invented the AK with the intention of providing young russian fighting men the perfect tool to defend their homeland. Profit had nothing to do with it lol. Kalashnikov himself stated that he is saddend that his creation which was orginallly ment to protect russia is now being used by madmen.
@DIESELisBACK900 that is the only weapon I would want out there. 5.56 can't penetrate shit. AK-47's are much more durable, easy to maintain, more powerful and cheaper than American weapons. Have fun cleaning your M16 when you're under fire. Good luck finding cover when a 7.62 is flying around.
@DIESELisBACK900 fyi, russian small arms are among the best in the world in terms of durabality and reliability. i would definitly put more trust in an AK to a shitty m16 that jams like fuck.
been there 2 time,belgians, croats, french , bulgarians, serbs, rusians and britans are good soldiers. US soldiers are kids with guns and only pray god how to stay live. Dont go if you havent military experiance
The other two? I don't recall the US fighting on its own. And can't even imagine it winning if it were.
And to the point I made: wars really are a nice way of shaping a happy hitory. Thanks for helping freeing the world of a communist dictatorship without the freedom of information of youtube, or a nazi reich without any freedom at all. I didn't see Iraq being in the way of any of that.
Funny, I don't see "scared" written anywhere in my reply. And there's NO way the kids from today are the same from WW2, for example. Completely different mentality, culture and reason to be fighting.
U.S didn't even ENTER world war one until 1917. When the war was nearly over. Even in that small time. The Canadian troops sustained less casualties than the U.S and broke through many heavily fortified arries. (I.E. Vimy Ridge.)
@Joshuamcmichael352 Good point. I still love me an AK but If I was at war I would want an AR.
