diffrent ak's have setups for scopes and rail systems, depends on what you want. also diffrent ak's have both side safteys, actualy i seen a i want to say it was polish AKS74 that was like that, the saftey even worked as a bolt catch, firgive the grammar errors its way late
dumb fuck if you would have read my comment throughly you would have not have left a ill informed comment, there is a polish AKS74 that has a notch cut out of the saftey and while its safteyed it acts as a bold catch.
Actually he isn't. Everything he said is very truthful & accurate. He said the M4/M16 was more accurate. However it does not have the stopping power the 7.62x39 round has. Shoot a concrete block with a AR then a different one with an AK. Big difference. The 7.62x39 round will not be affected as much by limbs, branches, & brush like the 5.56/.223 will. Maybe you should watch the video again & do more research before posting comments.
The .223/556 has more foot pounds of energy and is faster than the 7.62/39. The m16 round was so effective in vietnam that russia came up with the ak74 the ak74 uses the 5.45/39. It is very like the m16 round russia relized the effectivness of the round. The ar round travels so much faster that it does better against armor. The ak is slower and does do more damage against bricks though. Also there is a diffrence between the .223 and a 5.56.
Many infantrymen think say it is not very effective.

Summary
"While we were in Ramadi last year one of our rifle platoons came under attack from a pump house. 1 insurgent with a suicide vest exited & ran towards the Marines who were firing M4s, M16s, & M249s with standard 5.56 rounds. He detonated his vest, killing 1 & wounding 5 more. Full auto fire from the M249 barely slowed him down but you'll never see an official statement saying the 5.56 is ineffective."
If the idiot would have taken the cleaning rod out it would not have bent that much.
POS, yea right. I would trust an AK over any other rifle on the planet. Some of the greatest people in the gun industry have started that if they had to go to Mars & could take only 1 firearm with them, it would be an AK47.
Not sure if you are talking about a comment I made. It is a known fact that the AK is more reliable, durable, & can take more abuse than any other rifle on the planet, hands down.
The best rifle for certain situations, hell no. But when your life depends on it, even in the worse conditions, you can trust an AK to go bang.
ya i was the mars statment is from "Top Ten Rifles" but ya i get wat ur saying and i agree i just rather take the m4 due to accuracy, and all the shit u can put on it eotechs, peqs, vertical grips, interchangable handguard, retractable stock...u get the idea lol
the stopping power issue began when the prototype XM16 was first tested the 5.56x41 round was commonly seen to leave permanant wound cavitations of 2 inches and would cause a temperary hole of up to 6 inches. the testing staff figured this was from the speed of the bullet one problem during testing they decided to make a change in the production version the m16
increasing the rate of twist to 1 rotation per 14 inches t 1in 12 inches to meet the cold weather stadard which the rifle lacked this had a serious advers effect that it increased the stability of the bullet which caused it not to tumble on impact creating the ver effective wound charicteristics as where seen with the XM16 lator models have compounded this problem even more with the current issue rifles having a 1 in 7 twist
love the show, great guns to look at, and if your not familiar with both your really missing out, i live in a place prolific with Ak-47s, the newer 74 is great but i still see use and carry east bloc vietnam era ak's and they run great on generic chinese ammo, i still like the ar and i even have some original ARVN m-16s,i feel comfortable with both and feel in no way underarmed with either.
I own and shoot both...but i'm taking the ar. simply put....if the shit hits the fan in this country. I've got a way better chance of coming across 223/556 ammo than i ever will 7.62 or especially 5.45. Same goes with spare parts.
If the 7.62 round was such an advantage then why did the subsequent production models, not use it (AK-74 5.45 x 39mm, AK 101 5.56 - just like the M16). Come on the only advantage of the Ak 47 is that it's durable, which makes it perfect for conscripted 3rd world armies and little else.
i own a AK47 variant,i would pick the AK47 over the M16,If our society ever comes tumbling down around us i would choose the battle proven AK47 to protect my family.
Why did you delete my comment? Because I stated that the demonstrator depicted in the video was incorrect on several points. I'd suggest you guys do a bit more research on the weapons you feature in your videos. Although I'm sure it helped, it didn't take three tours in Iraq to teach me basic information regarding these two weapons.
actually it cant peirce trees maby branches but not trees that are even three feet thick.and the bullet proof vests can be peirce by any bullet that is tipted or military bullet because the bulletproof vests are ment for pistols
Different vests are made to stop different calibers. Tipped bullets you mean soft points ballistic tips these projectiles dont penetrate well they expand dramaticaly on impact.
These dont penetrate as much as FMJ. some vests are designed to stop 5.56mm.
The 5,56 bullet, when it hits flesh, comes apart into pieces, so it has a good stopping power.
But I heard that in Iraq US soldiers unloaded few mags on one guy and he was still crawling trying to reach his rifle. Later they found he had lots of drugs and syringe with adrenaline
The AK47 has barely changed since it was introduced in 1947, "it doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do."
This guy seems to barely know what he's talking about.
The AK47 is about 9.5 lbs, not 7. Neither the M16 nor the M4 (or any of it's civilian variants) have an ambidextrous safety/fire selector. And I would seriously like to see a man shoot at me after I unloaded five 5.56 rounds into him.
5.56mm is generally loaded with 65grains of powder and a longer bullet which means its packed tighter and has a bigger thump. The ammo you get from wal-mart is NOT the same stuff they use in the military.
Whaa? .223(inches) is just the imperial/american measurement for the 5.56mm round. Its the exact same round, just different measurements. Like .308 is the same as 7.62mm
the 223 cant pierce shit. its a 22 caliber bullet. any way you look at it, other than accuracy it fails in stopping power and penetration. just like a .22 round. ive seen ak bullets punch through 4 foot thick trees and one foot of solid concrete. m16 fails to do either in both calibers.
AK's are awesome weapons but pretty much garbage past the dreaded 250 yard shot. Personally, I think the AK is for the Soldier who needs a Machinegun, the M-16 for the Soldier who needs a rifle.
223 and 556 are not the same rounds do not atempt to fire a 556 round in a gun that is chamberd for 223 556 round has a higher pressure than the 223 round but you can safly fire the 223 round in a gun that is chamberd for 556
That's Chinese Type 56, not an AK 47. And the AK 74 muzzle break just looks gay on this rifle.

The ak is a .30 cal round. I'm a us navy seal and will be happy to tell you that 7.62 is better for power. The ak is made for urban warfare.

You can put all that stuff on an AK too.

Owning both files (my M4 has an EOTech 552 w/ a vertical grip as you mentioned) they both have their respected places on & off the battlefield, IMO.

.30 caliber 7.62x39 mm only problem is overheating
and recoil 5.56 recoil is much lighter
also you have couple of videos where ak-47 catches fire after 300 round fired in fully automATIC mode
that is why you have ak-101 in 5.56 mm
