Is the AK a Piece of Shit?

I forgot to mention the tale of AK inaccuracy. Inaccuracy lies behind the end user. There's a reason why the past several conflicts as well as civil war in Africa has made this tale seem true. Because the rifle is being used by poorly trained, undisciplined, wildly sporadic militia. Their chances of hitting a target on full auto while holding the rifle above their head or at their hip at a target more than 100 yards away are extremely low. When was the last time the USA fought a true military super power? That's exactly what I'm talking about. Put properly trained soldiers behind the AK platform and things would be a lot uglier than they are now.

Dude ...( LOL !) every little thing that people bitch about on this weapon has a fix . Bottom line : I'd take a " busty biker-chick " that " always performs " over a " salad-eating prom queen " any day of the week .

Nuff said .

Keep 'em comin' , brah.

great video! grip and stock i replaced both there is nothing wrong with the rifle just about every gun expert/ firearms instructor will back it. the gun was designed for harsh conditions and minimal training to perfect. hell 6yr old militia kids run them/ main things to go wrong with ak is bad ammo/or out of ammo... that platform eats ammo, most other firearms get ammo picky..

People see ballistic gel tests with the 5.56 & 5.45 & think that's how the round will work every time. That couldn't be farther from the truth of what really happens in the real world. BG test are almost always shot into the very flat face of the gel and the shot is almost always on a str8 angle to the BG. In the real world your target will almost never be on a str8 angle & the target is not made of BG, which is soft. This will almost always effect the way the round frags or yaws if at all.

@UrbanTiger74 People often under estamate the 7.62x39 round. I can tell you 100% for sure that the 7.62 is a far better killer out to 350 yards. I've seen deer shot with both rounds & the 7.62 will and does more damage through out the body cavity than the 5.56 does. The 5.56 & 5.45 are 1 trick rounds, if the bullets don't frag or yaw it's far less effective in terms of killing power. The 7.62 will almost always make 2 .30cal holes in the target which is always better than 2 .22cal holes. cont>>>

You sir are a gentlemen and a scholar. Just wanted to say that :)

[YOWHATTHEHELLUP71]

the ak's bashed because people can't seem to get around the fact that its not American. And the fact that it's associated with bad people.

People are just dumb alot of the time bro.

@M1ASniper That's cool. I don't have the AMD, but it's a nice rifle.

[M1ASniper]

@esh325 You didn't offend me.. I was just giving you some crap... I love the AK and if it came right down to it. I would pick up the AK AMD65 over the AR15

[esh325]

@M1ASniper I have multiple AR15's. I do not have a Nickel Boron BCG. I'm sorry to have offended you then.

[M1ASniper]

@esh325 Well, I'm making the statement that it is. Do you have an AR15? or do you have any weapons that have used the NBC? You have an opinion and I can respect it however if you have not used the Weapon or if you have not used any Nickel Boron Coated parts then with all due respect you can't really comment now can you? Now, I was starting to like you a little because you are Irish but you are starting to get on my nerves a little..

[esh325]

@M1ASniper That statement doesn't really prove it's as reliable as an AK though, and it also doesn't prove nickel boron is significantly more reliable then a regular BCG. And putting 1200 rounds through an AR15 and not experiencing a failure is something a regular BCG is capable of.
