Also...

Seriously, if you can't keen an AR platform weapon in complete working condition, don't use a gun, cuz that's just...sad, irresponsible..

Too "high maintenance"? Really? I'm a US infantry man, currently using the m4 and it takes less than 3 minutes a day to make sure my rifle is in operating condition any time...and it always is. Keep your dust cover closed, take the big whopping few minutes to check for any crud around the bolt carrier and simply dust clean with a soft bristle brush

@BeEzLeBoSs2010 Well said thankyou for bringing your experience on the matter to the table. Also, if you are watching the video somewhere other than on your computer the annotations do not show up.I have annotations programmed to freeze frame when the malfunction occurs and then a comment about the use of the forward assist. Thanks again

I have more time behind an AR than 20 average shooters combined. These things are flat out run, PERIOD!!! Anyone who says that they are not reliable with minimal care probably has experience with the very first ones fielded in the 60's or they just regurgitate the garbage that they read on the net. I just love this crap: "My friend who is a soldier in the sand box had problems...blah, blah, blah". Well, most 18/19 year old boys can't keep their room half way clean much less a weapon. NUFF SAID!

The "unreliability" comes from people...not the gun. When people modify without taking into account the mods effects on the system, fail to maintain, or push it beyond its design limitation...it can fail. The M4 (14.5" barrel, carbine gas) has a lot to do with the unreliability notions. A properly built AR will function just fine with minimal maintenance in some very shitty conditions. The big competitor is the AK, it’s not that the AR is not reliable, just the AK is more forgiving to abuse.

@OSETINKAVKAZ12INCHES i havent used any american guns. ever and cant say that i feel like i'm missing out on something.

[OSETINKAVKAZ12INCHES]

@BeEzLeBoSs2010 well you should know that when you're fighting even 24 hours straight you go through about 600 rounds at least. depending on how heavy the combat is. and there just isnt time to clean your ar. in russia we have special plastic bullets that clean the barrel so the gun becomes more accurate. the only time i've seen an ak malfunction is when physically there was mud in the magazine so you couldnt physically force the magazine inside.

@esh325 Names of the ones currently carrying AKs instead of their issued weapons? I'll take a pass on the Nam group. Probably Soldier Fortune or something on the same level of credibility.

love how the camera man backs away at 1:22 as you take your first couple of shots.

@GLOCKCOPG23 thanks..i agree..ar's rock.

[GLOCKCOPG23]

@JUKEBOXX1990 The longest I've personally gone woithout a "lil squirt of lube" is prolly about 1000 rounds...maybe 1200 or so. Mine has been through the "hog slop" and the "pool" and been VERY reliable. I understand that the sand in the Middle East is a supernatural type of sand that makes the M4 platform fall apart. LOL. Don't believe that shit. The people that say the M4 is unreliable are ther same couch potatos that have never shot an AK but feel compelled to defend them. AR's run period!.

[JUKEBOXX1990]

@GLOCKCOPG23 thanks but whats the longest you have gone without quick cleaning or a lil squirt lube??im not trying to compare with ak..im just curious as i am a new ar owner myself..thanks again

[GLOCKCOPG23]

@JUKEBOXX1990 Mine Colt Tac Carbine and S&W MP15 regularly go 1000-1500 rounds or so between "real cleanings" with a lil squirt of Lucas every so often. I am sure they can go longer but I've never had to let them go longer. Thats damned reliable if you ask me. In a SWAT training course I took, I lost count of the rounds that went through my Department AR (well over 2000 w/o cleaning) in a weeks time and it never failed,not once. AK47s are great, but the AR platform need not appoligize to anyone.

[JUKEBOXX1990]

@GLOCKCOPG23 hey whats the longest you have shot your ar without cleaning or lubing??round count??thanks

[esh325]

@oeyesea Ridiculous. I've read two books where they documented instances of soldiers carrying AK's. In Vietnam, and present day.
