  • people comparing these weapons (AK47/M16) are american politician, they say that ak 47 is horribly inaccurate and M16 is a better.. Simply because thats the way business works.. its always about the money..In my own opinion, i rather buy an ak 47 rather than the m 16 because i don't like to clean my riffle after each use, and it's stupid to bring a cleaning kit! Pay attention to the evidence of war, ak 47 wills always get the job done since 1949 until now.

  • A Cuban I met in Miami said once bought AKs made in Hungary they were junk. I can see now why the Russians want to stop all these crappy clones.

  • Man i love me an Ak 47.

  • good vid.

  • the AK-47 is innocent, it's the people who used it to kill others is guilty.

    any rifle could be potentially dangerous. why is it that the media is always picking on the AK-47? and the M4 that is used by the U.S. military to slaughter ten and thousand of Iraqis overseas.

  • While you were arguing, did you realize that 50% of part 2 was gobbledegook about US politics instead of the AK-47.

  • @Gloomshadow1 I know dude when I was with my girl friend my cannon fired all over her face

  • The atomic bomb hasnt killed that many people though if we are talking centuries. The bow and arrow has killed more people than a nuclear weapon for example...

  • Anyone know the song at the end? Please someone tell me.

  • I'm a vietnamese and so my english is not so well,please read and give comments,thanks.

  • @tranluhoang here on youtube there are many videos showing that the 5.56mm round almost EXPLODES when it hits a human at 0-100M doing much more damage than a 7.62x39mm AK round. But the 7.62 is very good at going through trees, cars and other armor. 7.62 makes a wound similar to a 9mm Pistol round most of the time, depends on what kind of 7.62 ammo it is but cheap 7.62 is not as deadly as 5.56mm most of the time.

  • -higher recoil,sodiers have to practice well to handle it in fully automatic fire.

    -maybe,less accurate than M-16,but i'm not sure about that.Although it's less,it doesnt matter because almost fight take place in a distance <200-300m,or still in the AK range,the difference in effective range does not effect so much here.It just does when we pull it up to 400 or 500m(very rarely)

    -slower in rate of fire,however,in my opinion,it's not really a disadvantages.

  • @tranluhoang I have used both the AK and the M-16, I use the M-16 in the US Army Infantry, they are both good rifles I can be happy with both but they are DIFFERENT. You give me the choice and I choose M-16, faster, more accurate lighter. The M-16A2 or the M4 are both very reliable, I have never seen a jam but I am a trained solder, that is the secret to the M-16, CLEAN the chamber and bolt every morning & do not throw it into the mud. If that happens take the bolt out and wipe the mud off.

  • -always reliable,as someone said,it can fire thousands of rounds constantly without jam or overheat,so the solder can keep his power without any trouble.

    If they are in hands of good soldiers,special forces such as,it's really dangerous,the South Vietnam soldiers was so afraid of the Norths soldiers if they have AK-47 in hands.

    Disadvantages:(compared to M-16)

    -somewhat heavier than the M-16 with the first AK-47s,but in AKM it's only 3.14kg no load.

  • -stay unjammed in any conditions and any environments,it can fire after suppressed in water,sand,i've heard that 1 armed police of vietnam died in a river of cambodia,and 1 year later people took his body up(almost fully decompose,and they can fire his AK fully automatic,30 rounds.

    -high power and high damage ,if an big fat american get shot from an AK,his back will have a big hole,about 5-6 cm in diameter.(i've seen it in a campaign)

  • @tranluhoang M-16 jamming problems were mostly bc of ammuniton problems in the army support network. M-16 was not issued with cleaning kit or instructions because the US Army though it did not really need to be cleaned. M-16 designer Eugene Stoner was very angry about this. 99% of all M-16 jamming problems were sloved in the 1st year of use in Viet Nahm.

  • M-16: advantages: -low recoil,easier in fully automatic fire -high rate of fire -relative accurate -proper weight Disadvantages: -difficult to operate in a short time. -easy to get jammed after some fully automatic burst. -low power and therefore low damage. -damn length so really get trouble in tropical forest. -in bad conditions,such as in mud,sand,water,it cannt fire or even blows up. AK-47: advantages: -easy to handle in some minutes,25 second to take a full field trip
  • @tranluhoang no, M-16 doesn MORE damage to a human body than the AK but the AKs 7.62mm round has greater penetration through steel and wood. The M-16 5.56mm round is very high velocity and fragments or tumbles violently on impact with a soft body. M-16 has faster controls and easy to put into action, but more complicated to learn correctly..takes more time to train first-time shooters.

  • AK is great. My son and I learned to take AK completely apart, beyond field stripping, in about an hour. To shoot/operate the AK took about 10 minutes at the range before we felt fully competent. When I learned to field strip, shoot/operate the M16 back in the 70's it took all day. Also, after firing about 1,000 rounds through AK's and SKS's I've NEVER had a jam.  Back in the 70's the AR15/M16's I fired would jam about every 2-3 hundred rounds and were hard to clear. AK vs. M4? AK wins..

  • As an American, Republican and DoD employee for almost 3 decades I'd like to put my 2 cents in on the "AK vs. M16" debate... Only in America can we make a gun that costs 5 times as much and jams twice as often and claim it's "better" because it is marginally more accurate. Average infantryman is NOT firing from a bench and trying to shoot his group 1" tighter at 200 meters than his competition. But I'll say one thing, the US gov't has paid ME well by selling overpriced weapons systems!

  • @randy109 I cannot stand when people think the AK is a better rifle than the M16. Everybody says "Oh the AK is better than M16, it doesnt jam!" The only time the M16s jammed on huge scale was the beginning of Vietnam, because they used ball powder(which jams eaisily in damp environments) and other materials that were not in the original design. And how can you say the M16 is MARGINALLY more accurate! My dad was in th USMC and they shot up to 500 yards, AK cannot come close. AK has power though.

  • @theDoubleA1245 neither of them are better than te other they both have there ups and downs

  • This only proved that the U.S can't hold up superiority in all aspects like other Americans always showed the world. Peace

  • the deep bond between a man and his weapon described here can be compared to the samurai culture in ancient japan, where it is said that a samurai's katana is his soul...just goes to show you the psychological effect war has on a human being

  • everyone saying AK-47 is inaccurate is stupid,I'm a Military officer in Vietnam Army,I got 6/6 round on the target at 200 meters by an AK-47,is that enough to show you that the AK-47 is not inaccurate like what the sons if bitches from America say?Our father,the North Vietnamese,using the AK-47,defeated the invaders from US.

  • @tranluhoang Many americans are really ignorant of the power of the AK

  • @tranluhoang I agree the AK is not inaccurate i guarantee you most people who say it is inaccurate have prob not even adjusted the sights on ther AK

  • I purchased my first gun in 1998. It was a post-ban Maadi MAK-90 supposedly built with Soviet tooling and materials. I learned how to field strip it myself with no manuals or training. It's beaten to hell now but is has never failed me.

  • oh and something else to add: I hate how on the related videos tab there is a goddamn AIRSOFT REVIEW... I can't believe people relate toys that shoot plastic and are sometimes made of plastic to iconic real guns. It really pisses me off.

  • I agree, nothing beats the real thing.

  • Grow a dick,get laid,,or man up.Airsoft is a hobby for kids which in case you dont know arent old enough to own real fire arms.

  • 7:12 lol nice mask. The fact that freaking 9 year olds can use the AK really suprises me. It's pretty cool to me to be honest. My friend is afraid to even shoot a gun, yet these african kids killed people with them.

  • They use a domestic drug called cot, which makes them feel invincible and fear nothing, thats why. And 9 year old kids can use an AK because its so simple compared to other rifles like the

    M16. The first time i picked one up i was comfortable around it almost immediatly, i couldnt shoot it obviously but im sure id get used to that pretty quickly too. Its such a simple mechanism and you cant go wrong with it or jam it. Its heavier than more modern rifles but who cares, more useful for melee.

  • i hate these idiots who comment thinking they know so much about guns just because they play cod4

  • @flectz That is what you call chairborne commandos

  • AK-47 = LORD OF WAR

  • Wrong, AK-47 was an Inspirational idea took from the Germans and was stolen by the Russians. Remember the StG 44 used during WWII?

  • AK 47 is known for its beauty, durability, and power. If i see someone with a stg 44 i will LAUGH AT THEM.

    HAHA!!

  • LOL, I was only kidding about it's being made in Palestine, and some idiots took it seriously.

    On the other hand, Kalashnikov denied having copied the Germans, and I believe him.

    I think you are a German, for saying that.

  • I'm a 22year old American student from the state of Texas, currently studying Poltical science. I'm planning to be a Military Historian. I have an obligation to correct your information =]

  • Why couldn't he just rent a class 2 AK, instead of using a semi only to demonstrate. It makes people confused

  • This pisses me off terribly because the united states goverment can ship munitions to any country it deems necessary but one man does it by himself and he is deemed a menace. Just like everything else in this God forsaken country, politicians can shoot their friends in the face and not even get a smack on the hand, but I can't even shoot a coyote without a hunting license, or I would be carted off to jail possibly prison.

  • its evan worse in britain.somebody tried to mug me and I pinched a nerve ending on his hand the police wanted to to jail me for defending myself with one finger.

  • @thedukeofantioch that's not a surprise where in a country that requires everyone to have a license for a kitchen knife, you were no longer the victim, but the assailant. Great Britain is a surveillance and police state, where draconian laws exist and you are guilty until proven innocent. It's true that the criminals have more rights than the law abiding citizens do. If you seriously injure a burglar or he is injured breaking in, then he has the right to sue you. U.S.A. will soon be like this

  • @EquipaPatriot i live in u.s and oklahoma has a "make my day law " if anyone breaks into your house u have the right to shoot as long as they are inside your house

  • @Tylermcnamar yah? And what happens if the burglar manages to make it outside? I live in Missouri, where I've heard if you shoot and kill a burglar outside of your house, but still on your property, then you are charged with a crime. I have yet to find out if that's true. I always have my handgun near me. Always. My AK is my alternative.

  • @Tylermcnamar Using a high-velocity assault rifle round will certainly stop the burglar dead in his tracks. So will a shotgun, without the risk of killing your neighbor.

  • @thedukeofantioch well that sucks. And Britain claims to defend human rights.

  • WELL said:)

  • don't get to pissed off dude because it's ok to shoot a cyote without a hunting licsense, along with other animals such as : english sparrows, Feral cats and dogs, rats, Wild hogs, and well other animals that are deemed pests. Remember though, that owning weapons in america is a right that we all have(unless you are a felon) and hunting is a privalige that our government gave us and thankfully still wants us to have.

  • I just bought an ak (FULL AUTO) ready for the new world order.

  • You're either lying or an idiot.

  • why would you say that

  • Because the NFA registry was closed in 1986 therfor if you you have recently aquired a fully automatic AK47 FIREARM you have violated a federal gunlaw or you haven't aquired a fully automatic AK in which case you're lying.

  • its called the black market my friend. If you go to the right person you can fully automatic weapons for really cheap. All though not as good quality as Bulls eye gun and Pawn they are still good guns. Its illegal but who cares, so is littering. :)

  • Of and then you go talk about it on youtube. What a fucking idiot. Go peddle this shit on Democratic Underground

  • Do you have anything better to do than talk shit to me over youtube? Get a fucking life you illiterate piece of shit. Worry about yourself.

  • dude he seems like a malitia man, it was probably Black market

  • Okaaaaaaaaaay

  • great job. how mush did you pay

  • cool. Mine is just semi auto. Do you know how I can tweek it to make it full?

  • its impossible, well not impossible but really complicated.

  • You should know that's illegal officer. why are you trying to entrap people on youtube?

  • Dude.......I'm not a cop. Thats funny you think that.

  • @nowthisisstupid If you shoot a coyote without a permit you'll get a fine, stop being so dramatic, jesus.

  • @nowthisisstupid who said you had to report what animals you kill? ;-) If you don't plan on making your kills known, then why have a license?

  • @nowthisisstupid The US is an empire with politicians and officials who don't care if their policies are one-sided or if they trample on the US constitution.

  • It doesn't matter what people say but AK it's the best rifle for me

  • no no no ak47's dont kil people

    people USE ak47's to kill people

  • AKs are a weapon of freedom. it enable weak nation to defy the major colonial power and retain their independence.

  • My AK has never killed anyone. And it doesn't cause nuclear winter when I shoot it. So the first statement in this biased video is wrong.

  • i really dont think you r truly getting at what he is saying here and if u dont, here let me explain to u what they r getting at that u didnt understand (Obviously) just because your ak didnt kill anyone doesnt mean everyother ak in the world hasnt killed anyone and they r saying this is the real WMD BECAUSE it has killed more people then any atomic weapon has in the past buddy and will cont. to until the end of humanity so u r wrong buddy.

  • Yeah I got that he says its a WMD. You (obviosly) swallowed that bait hook line and sinker. But cars still have it beat as far as the closest thing around when someone dies. But if you don't blame an inanimate object and dropped you biases you can see that people have killed more people than the "evil AK". And a gun is a great way for those people that want to kill the good people to defend themselves. So screw you and your ridiculous idea that a gun kills all on its own.

  • good glad to see u know something. Yes people do kill each other but weapons r just tools taking part of this killing buddy like all objects that can be used as weapons to kill and injure yes people do decide the ultimate decision on the end but those tools r the things that do the ACTUAL killing unless u r beating them to death with your bear hands you cant say you killed that person only using a tool to kill. and i never had the idea that ONLY the gun kills people so SCREW U UP THE ASS.

  • I think you say buddy way to much. I don't know if you know what it means?

  • just not trying to be an asshole thats all and if you dont like it fine i will just call u an asshole from now on r u happy or r u still bitching.

  • Your still wrong about the AK. So I guess your the asshole, asshole.

  • Not really your wrong abouth the ak so I AM SURE YOUR THE ASSHOLE.

  • If I'm wrong I guess you can prove it. And I hope you have more than this antigun movie as your proof.

  • People like you make the weapon look bad, when in fact the only experience with an AK may be from COD, CS.....

  • thats funny your dick was too small as your are an 8th grader so you used a barrel of a rifle

  • maybe you should get one of each to see first hand, the iron sites on the AK is not the best, and if you aren't bench resting you won't hit anything within reasonable size past 100 yards. go shooting and you'll see.

  • the answers ive been looking for

  • The Full name of the ak 47 is automatic kolishnicov- 47

  • Wrong. Avtomat Kalashnikova, Model 1947. Don't post if you're not sure of yourself.

  • its automatic in english -.- " " " in german its avtomat im saying in english do ur research

  • sorry i meant russian not german and yea do ur research in english its automatic -.- "

  • You also misspelled kalashnikov, which leads me to believe what you're saying isn't credible. I don't think you fully understand what research really accomplishes.

  • its jsut a typing error -.- " i mean it if u research it in english its automatic go see ur self but most people say it in russian -.- "

  • avtomat in russian basicaly means machien gun (sub- machien gun)

  • i'm pretty sure its "Automatic" Kalashnikov 1947 - AK 47

    Mikhail Kalashnikov is a hero.

  • u couldnt b more right. its not his fault that dictators use his guns. In fact, his guns have brought liberty to tons of countries.

  • it means automatic

  • Comment removed

  • you are saing it the right way, its the other bloke that is wrong

  • ak is copied in over 30 countries, including usa. m16 is copied no more than 5 (canada, gb, germany, some asian country). end of discussion. why is my ak101 is more accurate than my m4? and will i have to worry if it would explode in my face if i dip it in water and mud? i dont think so.

  • i own both, and my m4 is considerably more accurate. the m16 isnt copied in other countries because we dont hand out the designs

  • a no no again. m4 isnt copied (any country from congo to china can)

    because it is so badly designed , many moving parts, jams, overheats, backfires, and unreliable, and even worse- more expensive. and why is the SUPERIOR USA copying a cheaply designed rifle?

    simply its better. do not compare the m4 to the izmash made aks, *again, not the gay romanian ones*, because m4 cannot withstand half of ak does, thus ppl wont try to beak it by testing.

    ps.- i doubt you know what ak I have.

  • is it an izmash? lol

    dont get me wrong, im an ak fan. but ive seen my share of crudely made, unreliable ones as well.

  • so far izmash is the only company that produces ak101 as far as i know them.

    yes you have seen the crudely made ones and of course the quality comes along with the price (as seen in the video- thosands of chinese ak clones). -if you are saying russian made aks by izmash is made by low quality steel then you should really go do some research and watch its videos. even clones from bulgaria they conisider low quality.

    i doubt m4 is CUSTOM made. every ak by izmash is hand assembled.

  • my m4 is custom made...

  • custom - specially ordered product that is modified from its original state to either become better or more user friendly to the customer.

    ex : you go and say i want the bolt to be made out of high end steel, they will specially make it only for you with any quality of steel you want. or ex. you say i want a skeleton buttstock- they make one for you.

    the ones that you buy originally from the store - brand new- is not custom in any way of shape or form.

  • 0:45 - pps 43 and mp40- best friends.

  • booty head booty head booty head booty head

  • AK's are the world best assault rifles! Come join my AK Militia!

  • AK's rule the world of assault rifles!

  • long live michael kalshnikov, true soviet power

  • All hail victor bout!

  • Hail!

  • Seig Heil!!! wait, what? hhaha

  • AK's rule the world! I love my AK and i will take it to my grave and will be burried with it

  • mikihal kalashnakov admits that he is sad that ak-47s are used by terriorists. m-k is my hero and is the best

  • yeah the AK-47 is difinitely the best reliable, cheap, and pretty accurate, powerful! lol trees dont even stand a chance =p.

  • LOL, tell me why its one of the most collected guns in united states of america then, huh?

  • cause it's cheap and cause americans think it's the best assault rifle in the world...numbers like how many people use them dosen't tell you how good the rifle is...even the FN FAL is better then the AK and it's also widely used by many western forces...it's also called the "AK of the west"...

  • The FN FAL also jams like a bitch in desert conditions. Though I love the looks of the FAL and its killing potential is amazing. Awesome weapon

  • i never saw it ajm in jungle conditions...I'v heard it gave great service to the australian army in vietnam

  • It's a decent rifle, but I am sure there are extremely mother fuckin top secret assault rifles that can do shit you wont believe

  • But cost 1000 times more. How many ak's can 1 top notch m4 be worth?

  • about 2, but you have to take a lot into consideration. the m4 is made of superior materials and there is considerably greater time and effort spent in machining the parts

  • errrrrr. wrong answer.

    superior? superior to what? (wrong choice of words?)

    any how, if you are saying better than the hand crafterd packi aks by mountainmen then, yes it is.

    probably u never seen the izmash russian aks. they make it with highest quality there is. tested thru sand, mud, cold and hot temp, water *dont do this with your m4 kids" which m4 can never stand.

    no, russia does not hand over anything, even ak creator is against it. they are all stolen clones.

  • On a purely economic level, what does it cost to produce an AK47 as opposed to a M4? I am not disputing the M4 build quality.

    My argument is that if a despot has $1m to arm his small army, he will not think about quality, only price. Also the skill level required to fire an AK is minimal.

  • well an ak is produced with relatively low cost steel and wood components, while an m4 is made from T6 aircraft aluminum, chrome, and polymer parts. Some companies like Rock River will have an armorer custom make each component, and hand assemble them.

  • in addition, not a single ak from izmash is produced with wood after like the 80s. they use high end plastic and rubber for the stock and handgrips, the ones you see with wood is only from china now. alminum is light but not a strong material so russia does not use it. no m4 is custom made- its all in mass production.

    ps: izmash is not a rifle, its is a company.

  • i know its a company...when i ask what kind of car you own, wouldnt u name the company that produces it? you're getting really annoying, so why don't you just take you fan boy stuff elsewhere. My m4 is configured with custom and aftermarket parts from an original set, including a custom chrome bolt

  • when i ask what kind of car you own, wouldnt u name the company that produces it

    - good point, but an ak is not a car. ;)

    this is not any fanboy-ism or anything like that. its just simply comparing one thing to another. period.

  • holy shit you're from canada? my god have you even handled an AK????

  • brother lives in the states. i come visit every 2 weeks.

  • Comment removed

  • what the fuck are you talking about retard??? I made a comment about the FA FAL and now you're giving me a lecutre about wmd's???I know what weapons of mass destruction are and I know what the war in Iraq is all about so don't give me your bull shit and go spam somewhere else you fucking good example for a failed abortion...

  • I misplaced that comment. My bad. It was to popsicle227754, not to you or anything you said. i can see how that could be confusing :)

  • ou ok...then i apologise for calling you a retard  ;)

  • Victor BOOT!!!

  • whats this guys with accent nationality?

  • Great weapon, I suggest everyone own one.

  • indeed.  best gun in the world. buy now. before the prices get too high.

  • Outdated AK.....wow, never thought someone could say something like that. It might not be as accurate as some other similar assault rifles, but overwhelms with power, reliability, and simplicity of use. It'll probably never get outdated, just turn into a classic.

  • pfft.....

  • I would buy one but its elligal in my country.

    I'll just get a vz-58 instead wich, oddly, isn't elligal.

  • Great work from this reporter.

  • its not that hard to make an Ak...i saw a video in youtube which a guy went to Pakistan (don't remember the place) and show the gun market..they make it in home...also mark us made in China or LTTE have factory of Ak, most of this gun come in Asia from Thailand or China...otherwise they make it rebel areas...anything is possible...

  • that guy at the start does not know haw to shot a rifle

  • I think it's a damn good thing that military weapons can still get leaked into rebel causes. After thats how the U.S. got it's start or do the creators of this vidio believe only white land owners have a right to rebel against tyrants?

  • Thats it!! >:(

    Im buying one!!! HAHAHAHAHA

  • He shipped AKs to Africa, bought gladiolus (flower) in Africa for 2$ and sold in Britain for 100$. Guns in, flowers out, HUGE profit, ironic, isn't it?

    He also shipped humanitarian aid whenever UN paid him to.

    He was a true, ruthless businessman, made profit EVERYWHERE he could and as result of it became very sucessful.

    He also owned THE largest private fleet, and not just airliners, we are talking heavy cargo lifters here.

    US government made deals with him too.

  • Zionist scumabgs along with there media lies this are the true weapons of mass destruction.

  • guns dont kill people cops kill people lol jk

  • hell they said in a Californian meeting that the police department in los angles that they have never found an ak-47 converted to full-auto. Like that never happened.

  • its killed so many because it has been massed produced. in a war one soldier has a colt 1911 when 1000 soldiers each have an ak-47 which type of weapon will kill more people?

  • Not even that, criminals will still find ways to get guns, no matter how many gun control laws there are.

  • The true weapon of mass destruction in the world today is not the Ak-47, it's the United States military.

  • true true true

  • Guns dont kill people rappers do

  • no you cant

  • nope

  • old man?

  • People, it's not the GUN's fault, it is the fault of people who brainwash child fighters.

    It is the fault the governments and bankers who finance the sale of arms AND instigate conflict worldwide.

    Every war in modern history has been financed by bankers in order to put countries into debt. They are to blame, not the tool put into the hands of humans who do the shooting.

  • or in short. people kill people. guns do not kill people because guns dont have minds, therefore, a gun is an inanimate object.

  • Hey man I couldn't have said it better!

  • did bush really want to invade north korea

  • Yes he was planning to but not invade most he would do is send in some air strikes and tomahawk missiles to key targets, to bring the North Korean leader to the table and rethink about their nuclear program.

    But Im sure with u that if they weren't busy with Iraq, they probably would attack north Korea or Iran by now.

  • and yes, i keep thinking the USA only attaks nations wich cant face a country that is equally forced, haha i remember how bush wanted to invade N.Korea but after Koreans did test and claimed to have Nukes, Bush shited in his pants, afterwards he was talkin about sanctions and embargos other gay stuff, go ahead, attack Iran, it wont happen cuz US dosnt have NUTS.

  • hahaha very true man

    USA only attack countries that are weak and have no nuclear. Its their actions that's why every countries racing to build nuclear weapon because they dont want to get invaded..

    USA is a big bully.

  • The greatest weapon on earth is a United States Marine and his rifle. Never underestimate a motivated Marine and his rifle.
