was that a 223 or 5.56? that was awesome gun

@kentawagi the .223 and 5.56 are the same round

I only clicked to watch this video because the icon showed a person holding a rifle completely wrong. You can see it at 2:20, who ever made that 3d model has never seen a weapon before, it's not the kind of mistake that you could just shrug off, that's the kind of mistake that makes this look so terrible, that it causes people (me) to click this video just to see why it's demonstration failure while "SEALS" is in the title.

@lethalappetite yeah epic fail animation lol

.223 and 5.56 are the same bullet, but the ammunition is different.

@Thrabit Not entirely.

@lethalappetite Animation was made correctly, its just the gun was in the foreground and the guy holding it and his hands were in the background.

Docery ....the one firing the Stoner 64...he has a very bad rep in the teams. Hes a shit box...I know him personally and you should stay away from that box of bullshit.

@WarhorseModelworks . I would love to afford all of Stoners Guns but for a simple person on a budget . The AK is the best Way ! And like I've sad before Ak all the way or no way !. I know that most simple people just want something that works well and will not break or wear out to soon. The other thing is that simple people like simplicity and not a lot of bells and whistles that cost to much and are fragile The AK is a legion and I'm not prejudice against Guns I'm just simple and reliable.

@WarhorseModelworks .Spray and pray is what the AR is good for because one shot kills are not very often achieved with a 55 grain bullet that loses it's terminal energy real fast. The 30 cal bullet has more mass and more kinetic energy to disperse on impact . so your left praying that the last bullet that comes out of your jammed or broken AR would have done what it begun. The guns of the past like M1 grands and M14 where made to take a liking and keep on ticking ! Not the M16 or AR-15s

@WarhorseModelworks . I love Guns and respect those that love Guns for their protection of home and country. Stoner is not the best gun designer but i still respect his efforts in making some cool guns. I don't like some of his gun designs only because he didn't use the KISS rule "Keep - It - Simple - Stupid " . Stoner's Gun designs are nice but have to many small moving parts that can break be lost or wear out to soon.

@WarhorseModelworks . The AKS-74 sales are not doing good. I would not by a rifle that has less power and less available ammo to shoot. I'M not one of those brainwashed political fools that believe in carrying more ammo that is less powerful. I believe in having one round kills then to have many rounds just wound my enemies. The 223 cal is designed to wound and not kill at 100 yards .That is why 223 is not permitted for hunting big game animals like deer and elk.

Part III -real evidence based on use by fully trained (IE not African rebels or Taliban militia or Zetas) of the hit rates for the 7.62x39s in the hands of regular troops who get range time. I realize combat hit rates are abysmal all around, but the "one shot" you mention, could be the one that saves your life, as opposed to spray and pray. Anyway, both Kalashnikov and Stoner were weapon design genuises. Last, never shoot cheap ammo (polymer coated? slime) - better to learn to throw M-80s.

@jaceren69 Part II - The original AK is a great tool, and can be used with mud up the barrel, etc. But I am still waiting for a comparable system, similar to what the Stoner had, from the Ak family of arms. I have not yet been able to get my hands on a SCAR, but it would appear that is a similar "modular" concept. In any event, carrying hundreds of rounds of .556 at a lower weight is very important. I would have more respect for the pre-74 AK series if we had (cont.)
