@JoshMcRay - I conclude by your comment "key word legally" that you refer to the difference to the word "lawfully". Lawfully being the proper term for that which is an act of law while legally means having the sound of law, but morally contemptuous of the law.
as a canadian i dunno why you americas are resisting this good move..just take it it means people won't have to pay for going to get a check up.All what's really going on is people don't want to share and love throwing money away for themself's and not the poor and unfortune who don't have health care..Americans a greedy if they think like that and yes demad Americans CAN be stupid,just give them a good enough reason..I don't get it, Obama's health care is good but deemed as "SOCALIST" in the US
@1988scottcarey Because we are a nation that was based on individual choice and freedoms. We split from the monarchy in 1776. Forcing people to take the healthcare fiasco is wrong. Why do you think Congress exempted themselves? They knew it stank and it's going to bankrupt my nation.
would urge folks to get moving on their preparations now before the real panic sets in. To date the system is under strain from only a small percentage of the total population waking up and getting ready. Imagine what it will be like once measurable (even if not hazardous to your health) amounts of fallout are detected in California or a greater Arab caliphate goes to war with Israel? -(From LDs cannery)
Read Michelle Malkins books and ALAN kLEIN'S The Manchurian President, then you'll realize we made one hell of a mistake in believing in the lies Obama told to get himself elected. Impeach him, and fire all the Czars. Send them all back to a socialist country where they are more welcome.
Let me enlighten you. Obummer is a socialist! He wants the economy to collapse. The more people on food stamps or welfare or unemployment checks, the better it is for him in getting re-elected. He must have the people depending on the government in order to get those votes. Would you vote him out if he was feeding you?Don't blame Obummer. Blame those bottom feeding slimy politicians we elected to Washington to look out for our interest! They could have stopped him at any time. USA sold out.
OK you asked about the Ak 74- 5.45X39 compared to The AK 47- 7.62X39.
If you are using the rifle for self defence and hunting GET the AK47 in 7.62X39.
If you are using the rifle for target shooting or longer range headshot type shooting Get the AK74 It is much more accurate BUT HAS LESS Kinetic energy Down range beyond 300 yards compared to the 7.62X39.
AS FAR as corrosive ammo When you clean your rifle use WINDEX to Stop the Corrosion Then use HOT WATER to flush and clean as usual.
GET THE AK74 the rounds are so much cheaper WAY more accurate I have 3. The corrosive ammo isnt a big deal its is actually better because the way the bullet is designed it will kill some one if they are hit. GET 1 or 2 or 2 plus you get 1080 for $140 you cant beat it! water with a lil solvent in it will stop the corrosion process or windex but its an ak and its so damn tough you will shoot up all your ammo before the corrosion even matters!
The 5.45mm round used in the AK74 is known as the "poison bullet". Just like the 5.56 American round it tumbles when it hits flesh causing tremendous damage. Also it easily penetrates bullet proof vests AND has better accuracy and longer range than the older 7.62 round. Plus you can carry more rounds for the same weight and its very inexpensive. Dont let the word (corrosive) fool you! Just clean your gun! Even non-corrosive ammo IS corrosive if you dont clean your gun,it attacts moisture.
Oil could probably hit around the $138 to $149 mark before things really started to destabalize because of the price. I would go with the classic AK-47 and stay away from the less common AK-74.
Also, the CZ takes stripper clips... I personally find them easier to deal with. You can have one magazine and carry a pouch with 50 ten round stripper clips. The chamber locks open on last round, feed a stripper clip down through the top... keep rocking. never switch out mags.
Of course this is all an opinion. If you find a well made AK you will be fine
I would stick with 7.62x 39 I believe it is cheaper and easier to find... plus a ton of rifles use that round...
Take a look at the CZ58 its like an AK, but actually more accurate. Shoots 7.62 x 39 and is much better quality than most of the crappy AKs in the US marked. I love AKs, great guns, but a lot of the ones you find in the US are kits with questionable quality control...
Also, after an AK fires the last round the chamber remains closed... so you don't know your out of ammo until you pull the trigger and nothing happens!
I should also add 556 & 545 rounds will fly off target and tumble after hitting a small amount of brush. This can be seen in Nutnfancys SH run & gun vids where both the 556 & 545 both hit the target sideways and off the poi. The 762 didnt do this and the target was only behind a little bit of sage brush.
I've seen a deer hit with a 223JSP right in the shoulder blade. We didnt find the doe untill the next day she was still warm. The bullet exploded on the shoulder didnt make it to the vitals
It pays to advertise nice to hear they got so may people to sign up for stamps after advertising the hell out of them . I know a few folks getting double stamps .
DEMCAD, a quick search of a couple of ammo sites (Ammoman and Ammunition to go) find decently priced, non-corrosive, Russion (WOLF, Tula, etc.) 5.45x39 ammo that is non-corrosive, and it ends up costing the same or just a tad bit more than AK47 ammo. My general experience has been that 7.62x39 is simply easier to find, has more options for being cheaper and more ppl making it, and is just generally easier. That said, I do love the AK74 round as well. So go with what you like. :)
You're really not going to find non-corrosive ammo for a fair price. Norinco used to make it back in the day, but It hasn't been mass produced for 15 years or so..I've shot corrosive ammo for a decade and my barrel looks brand new. In a way, corrosive is good becauses it forces you to clean your gun withing a couple days every time you use your gun. Cleanliness is important. Also, Corrosive ammo is WAY cheaper. It's not feasable to stock 5,000 rds of expensive ammo. but at $150/case, it is...
The 7.62x39 imho is the better all around round. The 5.45x39 is a good round that shoots flater and has a longer range, but lacks the killing power of the 7.62x39 under 350 yards. My rule of thumb is a shtf rifle should be able to take white tail deer easily. Nether the 5.45x39 or even the .223/5.56x45 can do that very good, they'll get the job done, but the shot has to be right on, otherwise you'll just wound it causing a slow death. The 7.62x39 has no issues taking down deer. 7.62x39>5.45x39
@mojsmg incorrect. the ak74 round the 5.45x39 is a higher velocity round that has a empty cavity in the nose that causes instant destabilization upon impact resulting in catastrophic flesh damage through nearly complete transfer of ballistic energy. look at some pictures of flesh wounds from a 5.56 HP
no im not a small round fanboy, i like the 7.62 also but for the facts, not opinions.
@poormanprepper I still wouldn't deer hunt with a 5.45x39, it dosen't have the penatration you need to punch a hole in both sides of a white tail deer. Yes I agree, that 5.56 and 5.45 will make a nasty wound under 200yrds, but they lack the penatration you need for bigger sized game. Put it this way, a 5.56 or 5.45 makes more energy than a .44 Mag on paper. Yet no one in their right mind would go hunt a grizzly bear with a .223 or 5.45 but many have fallen to the .44 Mag and that's a fact.
@mojsmg when a round passes through a target that is lost energy. i wouldent shoot a bear with anything but my .300 winmag, but a person a 5.45 is an amazing round within 300 yards. you forget were talking about killing people, not bears. if you want to be Mr. Joe Badass go buy a .50cal but never the less if you shoot someone in WROL they are going to stop and they will die, beyond that is speed of death, and that is fixed by using your sights.
@poormanprepper I just use a rule of thumb of, if a given type of round has a hard time killing a white tail deer I don't want it to be a battle round for me. Yes the 5.45 / 5.56 will do a number on a person so long as you have a clean shot, but most (smart) people in a gun fight are going to seek cover / concealment. So if your target just ran 50-60yrds into the brush your 5.56/5.45 is almost useless. That's where the 7.62x39 will shine, it will plow through the brush to the target.
@mojsmg given, thats why i went with the 7.62 but the point is that 5.45 dosent plow through cover and hurt non-hostile personnel. my whole plan is to keep distance and not be seen so chances are i will never have the chance to use my ak. i see your point and respect it, and agree with it. i just think you dont give the little fast rounds enough credit.
@poormanprepper I give those little rounds credit for being light weight. Also for their flat shooting and better range. I think it's more about where I live that makes me go with the 7.62 rather than the 5.45. I live in Wisconsin, we have thick brush along with deep forests with big white tails & large 700lbs+ black bears. Sorry to say the 5.45 just won't cut it up here with or without WROL. It's more of a matter of prospective & need, than opinion or "thats what I own so it's better"=myopic.
@mojsmg im in the greater seattle area and shooting lanes are rare due to trees and streets, if there were anything to happen, its sub 150 yards. when i go out to the sticks i also take along a big boy rifle, but for demcad being in an urban area,i think a round that dosent plow through six walls is a good idea, though the a majority of 5.45 is corrosive.
@poormanprepper demcad could try to find an .223/5.56 AKM. He'd have a better variety of ammo to pick from. Only down side is getting mags for an .5.56 AK is a bit more pricy than the standered 7.62 or 5.45 mags. Now I've heard that some 5.45 mags will work with 5.56, not sure if it's true or not ?
Or he could go with the Kel-Tec SU-16 which is a piston driven action just like the AK and it takes standered AR-15 mags. Plus it's super light weight and I think they run under $650.
@mojsmg a galil or galoni is an ak type rifle that takes .223 and 5.56 nato. the mags are not too hard to find and a quick google search will get you some good deals.
@poormanprepper I don't think Galil's are cheap, and for a .223/5.56 rifle they are heavy as hell. I think they're close to 9lbs. That weighs as much as an M1A that uses .308-7.62x51, but still a good reliable rifle. Another good thing about the Galil's is that the standered mag holds 35 rounds. So for the price on a Galil you could get a good piston AR-15 which would give you more as far as optics, vg's, flashlights, lazers, etc.
@poormanprepper Just looked into those Golani's, not a bad price bad for a Galil clone.
There's even pistol carbine rilfes out there that would be great for urban area preppers. On those you could stock up on ammo for pretty cheap. Then you can have your sidearm shoot the same ammo as your rifle. Only down side is range & power, but you'll be highly moble and be able to carry alot more ammo if on the move. Just a thought.
@mojsmg if i were to do that i would go with a m1 carbine and a revolver in .30 carbine. thats my grandfathers set up, and its a good one. but demcad has a glock in .45 already.
@poormanprepper Then the beretta cx4 storm carbine in .45 acp would be a good choice. A .45acp out of a 16in. barrel would be a deadly force to be deal with under 200 yrds.
@mojsmg thats a really good idea, but i think the .45 drops off a little too much to be much use as a carbine. i think demcad is looking for more of a battle rifle. no matter what he picks theyre all good.
I read a National Geographic magazine a few years ago that had an article about body/temperature scanners in various countries. These scanners were built into ceilings or something and passengers didn't even know about them. The purpose of the scanners was to monitor body temperature as a way of identifying those who might be be carrying a virus. Everyone passing through a walkway, for example, would have a full-body scan--the article showed pictures of peoples' thermo body scans.
Please know that I'm writing this before I hear your video so don't think that's all I noticed/learned about your video. Reginald, what is going on with the frame around your door? Is that just unfinished trim or is it some kind of fortification?
@5:25 - This is one of the reasons why I am an avid gardener.I grow enough vegetables of all types to vacuum pack,pickle,canning.I bought an inexpensive high pressure canner that let's you store not only vegetables but stuff with meat,like soups,and stews.It would seem simple for anyone to grow a garden but there are people who look at gardening as rocket science and it's not.Buy a book on it if needed. All you need is Temp.,Sun,Good soil,Water,maybe fertilizer,and weeding.That's it !REAL HARD !
Reginald, do NOT buy another firearm! You have a good arsenal with the long range rifle, pistol and shotgun. Use the money to buy more food instead. Get a year's supply.... Finally, if you buy another weapon with another different kind of ammo, you will spend more money.
The 7.62 X 39 ammo, for the AK's and AMD's is great ammo and not expensive, I'm talking a thousand rounds for $150 at The Sportsman's Guide, where I buy most of my ammo. Even the most inexpensive rounds, being corrosive, has, for me, been 100 percent reliable. I'm getting the AMD-65, cause I can't find a 63.
i love the ak 74 very reliable just like the ak 47 ammo is rare in most gun shops as well as excesories..buying on line would be the way to go and im sure that wolf makes a non corrosive round for that
Dire Economic effects start to be felt at current $100 a barrel / $3.50 Gallon levels. Economic collapse starts at $150 a barrel and $5.00 a gallon gas levels. Total destruction starts at $200 a barrel and $10 a gallon gas levels.
bro..........im Oregon militia ...I know about guns and ammo and many other supply's , i will send you what u need...first off , you need a fallout shelter!! that is a must!!
Bro, we can't have any of those systems! State or Ferderal! We need a ppls system. We need a system that focuses on community and local projects. As well as inhancing our agriculture and producing our own products which are not chemically combinded and burned down! We need to use nature and earth the way its meant to be used! This government is simply in the middle east because of OIL/GASOLINE! THESE BASTARDS ARE GREEDY AS FUCK! WE NEED TO STOP USING THIS SYSTEM. PERIOD! Good videos and info.
Demcad I've left this comment at least 3 other times...Congress gave it's power to mint the currency legally (key word legally) to the Federal Reserve via the Federal Reserve Act.
@DEMCAD How about a barter system set on a standard for certain assets such as metals, materials and resources. Also as for the ak- go with 7.62x39. its cheap, its everywhere, and it has superior ballistics and energy transfer. 5.45- smaller than AR's 5.56. If the 5.56 is too small why go smaller? Plus if you get good with it, at the ranges expected in a shtf situation the innaccuracy of an ak will be minor.
you can buy AK74 ammo really cheap, like half the price of 7.62x39 for milsurp(corrosive), but you dont want a 5.45x39 gun, its not a good defense round, thats why its not widley used. its worse than the 5.56
The 74 that is well made will serve the same purpose as the AK but has some pros and cons. You can carry far more ammo because the 5.45 round in smaller than the 5.56. But it doesnt have the terminal velocity and bite of the 7.62. If you trusted your own mechanical skills you can build a fairly good AR for pretty cheap. And teaches you more or less the entire rifle from parts to complete rifle. I would suggest a vid by cokeman and all his fancy gunz and only his AR is working.
Demcad. I'm gonna buy the NEW Smith and Wesson AR chambered in 5.45 X39 (AK 74) . I have to wait until there's more money coming in to order it. 5.45 X39 mags are prone to problems because the round is flared slightly like an AK 47 round. They just don't stack well in a Non Curved AR style Mag. MagPul won't even make a polymer mag for the AK 74 Round. If you go with an AR variant, don't load the mags to capacity for reliability. The Plus side is a great round and mega cheap ammo!
In the Bible... 666 is the sign of the Satan? Love Your Channel, and what You have to say. Guess you reinforce the Importance of Food Storage! You have a Good Mind... Stay Aware.... Keep Us Informed! Thanks
I think that we need to reform the currency system Demcad, Ron Paul is trying to do that with the Fed. However besides from him, Congress seems unwilling to do that, so the states should create their own in the meantime.
It looks like oil is going to $200/barrel this year but the big story is the natural disasters, that are increasing exponentially. Oil and silver and gold won't mean a whole hell of a lot when the population of the Earth is under 1 billion people and all infrastructure has been shredded. Value will be what can be done with your two hands to secure food and shelter. Perhaps in a few thousand years we will be back to using money(I hope not) but until then, it's about survival folks.
Geryl says that we will get the first whopper flare/CME, on Oct 11 2011. This will be big enough to take out most power grids and end the internet. This will be followed by whopper flares in Jan&Apr 2012 and the biggest Armageddon flare in Dec 2012. Having all of your survival plans in place by Oct 11, might be a good idea. As it turns out, the Mayans were so far ahead of current day astronomers, that we are just starting to decode bits and pieces of what they knew and it is mind blowing. Smile.
Ive got the WASR 7.62/39 and i have a video where I shoot a tv with AR and AK. the AK knocks the tv down, where the AR barely moves the tv. Im comparing the AK74 to the AR round. I prefer AK47
Another great video Demcad! All states should have a back up currency in place to keep their economies functioning once the Federal Reserve note collapses and collapse it will. Personally, every extra dollar I currently have goes into silver and I only keep enough cash on hand to cover basic living expenses. Anyone dumb enough to depend on this corrupt / incompetent government we have to save them will surely starve.
GUNS AND GASOLINE! thats a hillbillys paradise lmao...
anyway, i feel that if gas prices would rise to above 6.00 a gallon ( i predict it will by this summer) there will be picketing by the pumps. maybe our government wants this to push us to drill here in the states. As for the food shortages: this isn't the first time we have had food shortages due to weather, but the first in this sort of economy. I don't see that affecting us as much since its lettuce and tomatoes and is not a big commodity
If money and corrosive ammo is an issue you should just get an AR15 with a 5.56 chamber (so you can safely use military surplus/whatever is lying around after TSHTF) and then buy a 22LR conversion bolt. Sure 5.45 is cheap, but 22lr is cheaper, more easily available, and you can cross train the two cartridges to save money and familiarize yourself with the one weapon. The .22lr will put meat on the table without wasting precious self defense ammo. The rimfire ammo is dirty but not corrosive.
@ssstealth Hey waddaya know.The voice of reason.These folks watch too much TV.Everbody thinks they're gonna be in some extended firefight or something.Strippin mags and commando rollin.Meanwhile you an me are posted up stockin the cellar with whitetails an hogs.
I say get the ak47. That bigger round will be able to go through more material than the smaller round. The shotgun is nice but its hard to carry a lot of ammo on you and the reload time is longer. And the bolt action is good but its slower at putting the lead out. But either way you can't go wrong with an ak. And if you get the 7.62x39 you can use ammo from someone who has an sks.
Non Corrosive 5.45 will cost a bit more than the surplus stuff. Corrosive ammo just means don't take too long to clean your rifle after shooting it. If you only want to shoot factory non corrosive ammo, I would suggest an AK 47. Cheap non corrosive ammo is easier to find for an AK 47.
What are all yall planning on shooting,Rambo?If you're talking about true survival the best general weapon would be a good .22lr semi-auto.Short of a bear or moose,it will dispatch any north american game.Its light,reliable,deadly,easy to shoot and you can carry 500rds to every 90 AK's.Team it with a 12ga pump.A belt axe and a good multitool.You're prepared for about anything.For self defense..if you cant reach em with buckshot or slug,you can damn sure RUN... SURVIVE and fight another day.
Demcad I recomend the best .40 pistol you can afford sig or glock and a really good AR either yankee hill,pof or sig then stockpile ammo and mags also extra spring for pistol I also have one long range gun a winchester model 70 chambered in 300 win mag. with a scope capable of reaching out 700 yards note unless you bug out in a vehicle you will only be able to carry side arm and one long gun
The safer bet, 7.62x39. It is plenty available, even from Walmart and Meijer, even Russian ammo. Bottom line Imho, bigger bullet = more efficient killing power, 4 and 2 legged predators alike. If you buy one, go with someone who knows what to look for. Surplus Ak's are good and cheap but, you have to know what is junk and what is good. Do not rely on the seller to give you good advice. He/she is there to make money off of you, not to make sure you get the best deal for your hard earned money.
New Constitution: Completely defund the "Federal Government," which we all know, as has been proven beyond any possible doubt, is a criminal agent of Wall Street. Period.
Seems to me that recognizing gold and silver as legal tender only allows them to quit considering trade with it as barter and allows them to tax the transaction.
5.45 is a fun caliber but not as accurate as .223. and not as powerful as 7.62x39. IMO 5.45 is only worth it if you buy the corrosive ammo which is around $.12 each but 7.62 has come down a lot so its less tempting now. very fun though.
Constitution says that Only Gold & Silver can be recognized as payments to and by the individual States. A new Constitution? Is there anyone alive today that could match the wisdom of the fore fathers?
@USBankruptcy thats the problem there was no tv back then,now people are brainwshed,ignorant stupid and honestly could not give a flying fuck about this stuff.Its sad but true,you try and tell some and they laugh,they say iof it happens it happens.Thye will hve the biggst shock of all when SHTF
Hey heard your blogcast last night! Get an ak47,or ak100 family if you are not sure about compromise. 74 does have better range and accuracy, realistically to about 450m, where as 47 good to 350 meters for all but best shooter without scope. However you can put sabot loads in 47 and made a 74 type round when needed by doing so. Barrel twists are tight for both. A good between round would be American 5.56 which is in the ak 100 family. Go to izmash website. ar's with piston coversion good too
H.L.S has the right because they have to stop the BOOGEYMAN!There all work for the.T.P.T.B and if we the people remove all of them they will but in new puppets for the.T.P.T.B ! T.P.T.B=the powers that be
Get the AK74! 7.62x39 ammo is excellent its fairly affordable and you can find it EVERY WHERE! Also the round is considerably larger then the 5.45 so that adds to more range and knock down power... and another thing to consider the AK is a pretty easy rifle to service and it wont take a poop on you even if it is dirty.
170 and you start to see things come to a slow. 220 is when the major transportation systems begin to shut down without indexing the budgets without regard to the deficit. With silver it is a similer situation. Infact there should be a global ban on monetizing it because of its uses in industry, communications and power distribution systems. As well as legacy platforms. About 60 an oz is when the repair costs of many industries start to spiral out of control.
the jobs that are hiring (AAM) are $10 per hr. so if u have a kid or two, u still qualify for state food assistance, we should have a minimum wage that will cover our "minimums"!
@DEMCAD Hey DEMCAD, I have a question for you about semi-auto rifles. I noticed you are in the market for a rifle. What do you want from the rifle? If you have the time, PM me so we can talk. I currently have a Saiga 7.62 rifle, and working on an AK-47 conversion.....
Get an AK-47 cause it's badass. No really there are plenty of rounds that are non corrosive for it. Plus I believe the 7.62x39 can break cinder block easier than the 5.45x39 round
5.45 is not something I would want to carry, but the upside is you can get rifles that will chamber both the 5.45x25 and the .223. So if you're looking for a tactical toy, go for it. Personally though, I like the 7.62x39 because it can be purchased in spam cans and you can still get the 70s and 80s cans that have the steel core ammo. Saiga makes a 7.62x39 new AK style rifle for $350.00, and you can get the 30rd mags for it. It's called the IZ-132, way more accurate than the AK-47 and new.
The 1 we had was good for it's time but the hole idea of money is a outdated idea. I'm For a RBE to be honest. Can any county be trusted to go in there with banks running them all? 44 million wow their is only 283 million in the u.s. Nothing new for the scan software after i seen the CIA had a system made too turn on your cell use it as buy. I knew they be getting as many new toys as possible able. less stopping power with the ak74 better for a scope though too.
the problem with the constitution, and laws in general, is that people break them anyways. Laws are just patchwork to the issues we couldn't yet solve technically, like drunk driving; we now have technology to have cars drive for us. We need to apply the scientific method to solve our social problems, not legislate laws as a temporary fix. This is outdated 18th century thinking, and we live in the 21st.
You cant compare the two weapons as one is an SMG and the other an Assault Rifle with around the same push but each ranging in accuracy.
If yall havent seen the documentary "Collapse" I suggest you watch it immediately. The price of oil will get to a point where food will be too expensive to purchase because ALMOST EVERYTHING is made with/of oil.
DEMCAD in your response to @CommentorX you assume that the "new" government was one you agreed with. I hope your assumption is correct and the "new" government believed in freedom for it's citizens. But, what if...
Availability is key. AK platform is reliable. Ammunition is the issue. If you can get an AK chambered in 5.56nato/.223, you'll be better off. Not saying that round is the best. Just saying it's not as scarce. It's what the Russians use and it's what the U.S.A. uses. It's simply a more available round. Peace.
I stopped going to baseball games and all other high security for no reason events...ever since 2003...Here in NYC , you could not get eggplant this week....pizzerias are suffering big time from this already. Food prices are increasing and water is NEVER on sale like it was for the past few years.
Demcad, you have said $ is an issue for you, my advice would be to get more ammo you have 3 good weapons, buying a 4th isn’t as important as stocking enough ammo for the calibers you already have.
Buying another caliber weapon will only mean having less ammo for everything you have.
The other factor is being proficient with a weapon, I would rather be very good with 2 weapons then have 4 that I’m so so with, practice cost $ and time. Focus on what you have, buy ammo.
i would go with ak74 ive shot the hell outt M-16s Ar-15s and Ak47 and a little on ak74s i would pesonlly go with ak74 its cheaper and it more accurate than 7.62mm but more effective compared to 5.56mm and its an Ak so its reliable!
I can only say that the AK47 is superior to the M16, in my limited experience. Why you need all that firepower? Get more canned goods, you are understocked!
You can handle the 7.62x39. the 5.45x39 ammo is hard to find. best price on non corrosive 5.45 in bulk is 160 bucks for 1080rds. 179 bucks for 1000 7.62x39. the 5.45 shoots further distance by about 200 yards and has very little recoil. also the 5.45 has a hard time going threw objects including bushes and shrubs. ak 47 7.62x39 effective range is 350m can fly past walls easily . I would choose the 47. Don't buy Romanian or Chinese guns
I would get a 74 in 5.45X39. It is much faster and more accurate at longer ranges. The ammo is cheap and the gun design is "bulletproof". The 5.45 has a lighter recoil than the 7.62 and both have plenty of stoping power. Don't buy a junk AK, save your money and get a nice one. If you want the best money can buy get an Arsenal AK. I personally prefer the AR-15 because the ammo can literally be bought or found anywhere.
One more thing - if you're going to get an AK, I'd recommend a NATO length stock if possible (it's about 1 1/2 inches longer than the very short Warsaw length stock). Of course you could put a collapsible stock on, but that adds to the cost.
Here's my .02 worth - I prefer the 7.62 x 39 (AK 47) round for many of the reasons listed already. It can also work well as a deer hunting cartridge. It's actually easier to find non corrosive ammo than the corrosive stuff. Even Walmart frequently carries 7.62 non corrosive ammo (both Russian and the $ American stuff). However, one of the best is the website "Cheaper than Dirt". A WORD OF CAUTION - CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL RANGE - MANY DO NOT ALLOW STEEL CORE AMMO (RUSSIAN).
I would buy a generator first. You have guns, if you check Menards you can pick a small one up pretty cheap. When you don't have power, you will know what I'm saying.
Fiat currency needs to be based on actual goods/services/infrastructure available to all of the public, and it needs to be issued with no debt at inception. Best choice is infrastructure that benefits the area which it is issued. Gold/silver can be used as a currency, and is always a good investment like any hard asset, but there is not enough supply to support using it as THE currency system. Tom Greco also has some interesting stuff, /watch?v=j2SBv2Etb3o
both 74 and 47 are great guns, but id say go with the 7.62x39 round in this case. its way more readily available than the 5.45 and costs less. as for the tumbling aspect of things with the 5.45 round, all ya have to do is buy hollow or soft point ammo for the 7.62 and it will do just as much damage while still being able to penetrate cover better
the 545 is so CHEAP!! i want a 74 and honestly corrosive ammo is NO problem at all if you clean your rifle RIGHT when you get home and it stores for a really long time in spam cans, or at least windex and hot water it. the ammonia in the widnex counter acts the corrosive salts ect in the ammo. just stock up gun cleaning supplies also and your good to go
@DEMCAD true. but the windex and hot water litterally takes the time it takes to boil the water...if its already boiling squirt squirt flush it out..dry it bang bang your ready to rock and roll. hopfully we wont need to fire our weapons if the SHTF
nationalize the resources of the united states corperate. the REPUBLIC is under foreign ocupation via the HOUSE OF WINDSOR.

OK you asked about the Ak 74- 5.45X39 compared to The AK 47- 7.62X39.
If you are using the rifle for self defence and hunting GET the AK47 in 7.62X39.
If you are using the rifle for target shooting or longer range headshot type shooting Get the AK74 It is much more accurate BUT HAS LESS Kinetic energy Down range beyond 300 yards compared to the 7.62X39.
AS FAR as corrosive ammo When you clean your rifle use WINDEX to Stop the Corrosion Then use HOT WATER to flush and clean as usual.

GET THE AK74 the rounds are so much cheaper WAY more accurate I have 3. The corrosive ammo isnt a big deal its is actually better because the way the bullet is designed it will kill some one if they are hit. GET 1 or 2 or 2 plus you get 1080 for $140 you cant beat it! water with a lil solvent in it will stop the corrosion process or windex but its an ak and its so damn tough you will shoot up all your ammo before the corrosion even matters!
MrWhitetailFanatic 11 months ago
The 5.45mm round used in the AK74 is known as the "poison bullet". Just like the 5.56 American round it tumbles when it hits flesh causing tremendous damage. Also it easily penetrates bullet proof vests AND has better accuracy and longer range than the older 7.62 round. Plus you can carry more rounds for the same weight and its very inexpensive. Dont let the word (corrosive) fool you! Just clean your gun! Even non-corrosive ammo IS corrosive if you dont clean your gun,it attacts moisture.
martykean1967 11 months ago
Oil could probably hit around the $138 to $149 mark before things really started to destabalize because of the price. I would go with the classic AK-47 and stay away from the less common AK-74.

Also, the CZ takes stripper clips... I personally find them easier to deal with. You can have one magazine and carry a pouch with 50 ten round stripper clips. The chamber locks open on last round, feed a stripper clip down through the top... keep rocking. never switch out mags.
Of course this is all an opinion. If you find a well made AK you will be fine
I would stick with 7.62x 39 I believe it is cheaper and easier to find... plus a ton of rifles use that round...
mandrlane 11 months ago
Take a look at the CZ58 its like an AK, but actually more accurate. Shoots 7.62 x 39 and is much better quality than most of the crappy AKs in the US marked. I love AKs, great guns, but a lot of the ones you find in the US are kits with questionable quality control...
Also, after an AK fires the last round the chamber remains closed... so you don't know your out of ammo until you pull the trigger and nothing happens!

I should also add 556 & 545 rounds will fly off target and tumble after hitting a small amount of brush. This can be seen in Nutnfancys SH run & gun vids where both the 556 & 545 both hit the target sideways and off the poi. The 762 didnt do this and the target was only behind a little bit of sage brush.
I've seen a deer hit with a 223JSP right in the shoulder blade. We didnt find the doe untill the next day she was still warm. The bullet exploded on the shoulder didnt make it to the vitals

DEMCAD, a quick search of a couple of ammo sites (Ammoman and Ammunition to go) find decently priced, non-corrosive, Russion (WOLF, Tula, etc.) 5.45x39 ammo that is non-corrosive, and it ends up costing the same or just a tad bit more than AK47 ammo. My general experience has been that 7.62x39 is simply easier to find, has more options for being cheaper and more ppl making it, and is just generally easier. That said, I do love the AK74 round as well. So go with what you like. :)
FirearmsFreak 11 months ago
You're really not going to find non-corrosive ammo for a fair price. Norinco used to make it back in the day, but It hasn't been mass produced for 15 years or so..I've shot corrosive ammo for a decade and my barrel looks brand new. In a way, corrosive is good becauses it forces you to clean your gun withing a couple days every time you use your gun. Cleanliness is important. Also, Corrosive ammo is WAY cheaper. It's not feasable to stock 5,000 rds of expensive ammo. but at $150/case, it is...

The 7.62x39 imho is the better all around round. The 5.45x39 is a good round that shoots flater and has a longer range, but lacks the killing power of the 7.62x39 under 350 yards. My rule of thumb is a shtf rifle should be able to take white tail deer easily. Nether the 5.45x39 or even the .223/5.56x45 can do that very good, they'll get the job done, but the shot has to be right on, otherwise you'll just wound it causing a slow death. The 7.62x39 has no issues taking down deer. 7.62x39>5.45x39
mojsmg 11 months ago
@mojsmg incorrect. the ak74 round the 5.45x39 is a higher velocity round that has a empty cavity in the nose that causes instant destabilization upon impact resulting in catastrophic flesh damage through nearly complete transfer of ballistic energy. look at some pictures of flesh wounds from a 5.56 HP
no im not a small round fanboy, i like the 7.62 also but for the facts, not opinions.
poormanprepper 11 months ago
@poormanprepper I still wouldn't deer hunt with a 5.45x39, it dosen't have the penatration you need to punch a hole in both sides of a white tail deer. Yes I agree, that 5.56 and 5.45 will make a nasty wound under 200yrds, but they lack the penatration you need for bigger sized game. Put it this way, a 5.56 or 5.45 makes more energy than a .44 Mag on paper. Yet no one in their right mind would go hunt a grizzly bear with a .223 or 5.45 but many have fallen to the .44 Mag and that's a fact.
mojsmg 11 months ago
@mojsmg when a round passes through a target that is lost energy. i wouldent shoot a bear with anything but my .300 winmag, but a person a 5.45 is an amazing round within 300 yards. you forget were talking about killing people, not bears. if you want to be Mr. Joe Badass go buy a .50cal but never the less if you shoot someone in WROL they are going to stop and they will die, beyond that is speed of death, and that is fixed by using your sights.
poormanprepper 11 months ago
@poormanprepper I just use a rule of thumb of, if a given type of round has a hard time killing a white tail deer I don't want it to be a battle round for me. Yes the 5.45 / 5.56 will do a number on a person so long as you have a clean shot, but most (smart) people in a gun fight are going to seek cover / concealment. So if your target just ran 50-60yrds into the brush your 5.56/5.45 is almost useless. That's where the 7.62x39 will shine, it will plow through the brush to the target.
mojsmg 11 months ago
@mojsmg given, thats why i went with the 7.62 but the point is that 5.45 dosent plow through cover and hurt non-hostile personnel. my whole plan is to keep distance and not be seen so chances are i will never have the chance to use my ak. i see your point and respect it, and agree with it. i just think you dont give the little fast rounds enough credit.
poormanprepper 11 months ago
@poormanprepper I give those little rounds credit for being light weight. Also for their flat shooting and better range. I think it's more about where I live that makes me go with the 7.62 rather than the 5.45. I live in Wisconsin, we have thick brush along with deep forests with big white tails & large 700lbs+ black bears. Sorry to say the 5.45 just won't cut it up here with or without WROL. It's more of a matter of prospective & need, than opinion or "thats what I own so it's better"=myopic.
mojsmg 11 months ago
@mojsmg im in the greater seattle area and shooting lanes are rare due to trees and streets, if there were anything to happen, its sub 150 yards. when i go out to the sticks i also take along a big boy rifle, but for demcad being in an urban area,i think a round that dosent plow through six walls is a good idea, though the a majority of 5.45 is corrosive.
poormanprepper 11 months ago
@poormanprepper demcad could try to find an .223/5.56 AKM. He'd have a better variety of ammo to pick from. Only down side is getting mags for an .5.56 AK is a bit more pricy than the standered 7.62 or 5.45 mags. Now I've heard that some 5.45 mags will work with 5.56, not sure if it's true or not ?
Or he could go with the Kel-Tec SU-16 which is a piston driven action just like the AK and it takes standered AR-15 mags. Plus it's super light weight and I think they run under $650.
mojsmg 11 months ago
@mojsmg a galil or galoni is an ak type rifle that takes .223 and 5.56 nato. the mags are not too hard to find and a quick google search will get you some good deals.
poormanprepper 11 months ago
@poormanprepper I don't think Galil's are cheap, and for a .223/5.56 rifle they are heavy as hell. I think they're close to 9lbs. That weighs as much as an M1A that uses .308-7.62x51, but still a good reliable rifle. Another good thing about the Galil's is that the standered mag holds 35 rounds. So for the price on a Galil you could get a good piston AR-15 which would give you more as far as optics, vg's, flashlights, lazers, etc.
mojsmg 11 months ago
@mojsmg either is good, a golani is about 500-650$
poormanprepper 11 months ago
@poormanprepper Just looked into those Golani's, not a bad price bad for a Galil clone.
There's even pistol carbine rilfes out there that would be great for urban area preppers. On those you could stock up on ammo for pretty cheap. Then you can have your sidearm shoot the same ammo as your rifle. Only down side is range & power, but you'll be highly moble and be able to carry alot more ammo if on the move. Just a thought.
mojsmg 11 months ago
@mojsmg if i were to do that i would go with a m1 carbine and a revolver in .30 carbine. thats my grandfathers set up, and its a good one. but demcad has a glock in .45 already.
poormanprepper 11 months ago
@poormanprepper Then the beretta cx4 storm carbine in .45 acp would be a good choice. A .45acp out of a 16in. barrel would be a deadly force to be deal with under 200 yrds.
mojsmg 11 months ago
@mojsmg thats a really good idea, but i think the .45 drops off a little too much to be much use as a carbine. i think demcad is looking for more of a battle rifle. no matter what he picks theyre all good.

@DEMCAD How about a barter system set on a standard for certain assets such as metals, materials and resources. Also as for the ak- go with 7.62x39. its cheap, its everywhere, and it has superior ballistics and energy transfer. 5.45- smaller than AR's 5.56. If the 5.56 is too small why go smaller? Plus if you get good with it, at the ranges expected in a shtf situation the innaccuracy of an ak will be minor.

The 74 that is well made will serve the same purpose as the AK but has some pros and cons. You can carry far more ammo because the 5.45 round in smaller than the 5.56. But it doesnt have the terminal velocity and bite of the 7.62. If you trusted your own mechanical skills you can build a fairly good AR for pretty cheap. And teaches you more or less the entire rifle from parts to complete rifle. I would suggest a vid by cokeman and all his fancy gunz and only his AR is working.

They just don't stack well in a Non Curved AR style Mag. MagPul won't even make a polymer mag for the AK 74 Round. If you go with an AR variant, don't load the mags to capacity for reliability. The Plus side is a great round and mega cheap ammo!

If money and corrosive ammo is an issue you should just get an AR15 with a 5.56 chamber (so you can safely use military surplus/whatever is lying around after TSHTF) and then buy a 22LR conversion bolt. Sure 5.45 is cheap, but 22lr is cheaper, more easily available, and you can cross train the two cartridges to save money and familiarize yourself with the one weapon. The .22lr will put meat on the table without wasting precious self defense ammo. The rimfire ammo is dirty but not corrosive.

And the bolt action is good but its slower at putting the lead out. But either way you can't go wrong with an ak. And if you get the 7.62x39 you can use ammo from someone who has an sks.

Non Corrosive 5.45 will cost a bit more than the surplus stuff. Corrosive ammo just means don't take too long to clean your rifle after shooting it. If you only want to shoot factory non corrosive ammo, I would suggest an AK 47. Cheap non corrosive ammo is easier to find for an AK 47.

What are all yall planning on shooting,Rambo?If you're talking about true survival the best general weapon would be a good .22lr semi-auto.Short of a bear or moose,it will dispatch any north american game.Its light,reliable,deadly,easy to shoot and you can carry 500rds to every 90 AK's.Team it with a 12ga pump.A belt axe and a good multitool.You're prepared for about anything.For self defense..if you cant reach em with buckshot or slug,you can damn sure RUN... SURVIVE and fight another day.

Demcad I recomend the best .40 pistol you can afford sig or glock and a really good AR either yankee hill,pof or sig then stockpile ammo and mags also extra spring for pistol I also have one long range gun a winchester model 70 chambered in 300 win mag. with a scope capable of reaching out 700 yards note unless you bug out in a vehicle you will only be able to carry side arm and one long gun

The safer bet, 7.62x39. It is plenty available, even from Walmart and Meijer, even Russian ammo. Bottom line Imho, bigger bullet = more efficient killing power, 4 and 2 legged predators alike. If you buy one, go with someone who knows what to look for. Surplus Ak's are good and cheap but, you have to know what is junk and what is good. Do not rely on the seller to give you good advice. He/she is there to make money off of you, not to make sure you get the best deal for your hard earned money.

5.45 is a fun caliber but not as accurate as .223. and not as powerful as 7.62x39. IMO 5.45 is only worth it if you buy the corrosive ammo which is around $.12 each but 7.62 has come down a lot so its less tempting now. very fun though.

Hey heard your blogcast last night! Get an ak47,or ak100 family if you are not sure about compromise. 74 does have better range and accuracy, realistically to about 450m, where as 47 good to 350 meters for all but best shooter without scope. However you can put sabot loads in 47 and made a 74 type round when needed by doing so. Barrel twists are tight for both. A good between round would be American 5.56 which is in the ak 100 family. Go to izmash website. ar's with piston coversion good too

Get the AK74! 7.62x39 ammo is excellent its fairly affordable and you can find it EVERY WHERE! Also the round is considerably larger then the 5.45 so that adds to more range and knock down power... and another thing to consider the AK is a pretty easy rifle to service and it wont take a poop on you even if it is dirty.

Demcad, there is a huge difference in performance between the .223 or 5.56 vs. the 7.62 x 51 or .308
The 7.62 x 51out performs 5.56 by far!! Research it on YT!!

170 and you start to see things come to a slow. 220 is when the major transportation systems begin to shut down without indexing the budgets without regard to the deficit. With silver it is a similer situation. Infact there should be a global ban on monetizing it because of its uses in industry, communications and power distribution systems. As well as legacy platforms. About 60 an oz is when the repair costs of many industries start to spiral out of control.

Get an AK-47 cause it's badass. No really there are plenty of rounds that are non corrosive for it. Plus I believe the 7.62x39 can break cinder block easier than the 5.45x39 round
Beagle1AD 11 months ago
5.45 is not something I would want to carry, but the upside is you can get rifles that will chamber both the 5.45x25 and the .223. So if you're looking for a tactical toy, go for it. Personally though, I like the 7.62x39 because it can be purchased in spam cans and you can still get the 70s and 80s cans that have the steel core ammo. Saiga makes a 7.62x39 new AK style rifle for $350.00, and you can get the 30rd mags for it. It's called the IZ-132, way more accurate than the AK-47 and new.

the problem with the constitution, and laws in general, is that people break them anyways. Laws are just patchwork to the issues we couldn't yet solve technically, like drunk driving; we now have technology to have cars drive for us. We need to apply the scientific method to solve our social problems, not legislate laws as a temporary fix. This is outdated 18th century thinking, and we live in the 21st.

Availability is key. AK platform is reliable. Ammunition is the issue. If you can get an AK chambered in 5.56nato/.223, you'll be better off. Not saying that round is the best. Just saying it's not as scarce. It's what the Russians use and it's what the U.S.A. uses. It's simply a more available round. Peace.

Demcad, you have said $ is an issue for you, my advice would be to get more ammo you have 3 good weapons, buying a 4th isn’t as important as stocking enough ammo for the calibers you already have.
Buying another caliber weapon will only mean having less ammo for everything you have.
The other factor is being proficient with a weapon, I would rather be very good with 2 weapons then have 4 that I’m so so with, practice cost $ and time. Focus on what you have, buy ammo.

You can handle the 7.62x39. the 5.45x39 ammo is hard to find. best price on non corrosive 5.45 in bulk is 160 bucks for 1080rds. 179 bucks for 1000 7.62x39. the 5.45 shoots further distance by about 200 yards and has very little recoil. also the 5.45 has a hard time going threw objects including bushes and shrubs. ak 47 7.62x39 effective range is 350m can fly past walls easily . I would choose the 47. Don't buy Romanian or Chinese guns

I would get a 74 in 5.45X39. It is much faster and more accurate at longer ranges. The ammo is cheap and the gun design is "bulletproof". The 5.45 has a lighter recoil than the 7.62 and both have plenty of stoping power. Don't buy a junk AK, save your money and get a nice one. If you want the best money can buy get an Arsenal AK. I personally prefer the AR-15 because the ammo can literally be bought or found anywhere.
ENG9RES 11 months ago
Demcad,
One more thing - if you're going to get an AK, I'd recommend a NATO length stock if possible (it's about 1 1/2 inches longer than the very short Warsaw length stock). Of course you could put a collapsible stock on, but that adds to the cost.
MattN47 11 months ago
Hey Demcad,
Here's my .02 worth - I prefer the 7.62 x 39 (AK 47) round for many of the reasons listed already. It can also work well as a deer hunting cartridge. It's actually easier to find non corrosive ammo than the corrosive stuff. Even Walmart frequently carries 7.62 non corrosive ammo (both Russian and the $ American stuff). However, one of the best is the website "Cheaper than Dirt". A WORD OF CAUTION - CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL RANGE - MANY DO NOT ALLOW STEEL CORE AMMO (RUSSIAN).

Fiat currency needs to be based on actual goods/services/infrastructure available to all of the public, and it needs to be issued with no debt at inception. Best choice is infrastructure that benefits the area which it is issued. Gold/silver can be used as a currency, and is always a good investment like any hard asset, but there is not enough supply to support using it as THE currency system. Tom Greco also has some interesting stuff, /watch?v=j2SBv2Etb3o
nextdimensions 11 months ago
both 74 and 47 are great guns, but id say go with the 7.62x39 round in this case. its way more readily available than the 5.45 and costs less. as for the tumbling aspect of things with the 5.45 round, all ya have to do is buy hollow or soft point ammo for the 7.62 and it will do just as much damage while still being able to penetrate cover better

the 545 is so CHEAP!! i want a 74 and honestly corrosive ammo is NO problem at all if you clean your rifle RIGHT when you get home and it stores for a really long time in spam cans, or at least windex and hot water it. the ammonia in the widnex counter acts the corrosive salts ect in the ammo. just stock up gun cleaning supplies also and your good to go
