There is something to be said for a little *less* precision. LOL
Suppose you had to gather all the people in your neighborhood, most of whom probably have none to minimal experience with firearms, and give each a battle rifle to defend the area in a disaster.
And then you had to leave it to them to keep the rifle operational, would you give them an AK or an AR?
Operationally the AK, for short range engagements especially. My AK loves Wolf ammo, but now my ARs will only feed brass.
Ak all the way, that’s not even debatable.
AR’s are terrible in the hands of novices.
People who talk precision, never mention the FTF, FTE, jams, and debris wreaking havoc on AR’s. That rarely happens to AK’s.
There is an old video with a military arms expert from the early 2000’s, I forget that guys name - he was with the National Archives or some other alphabet agency. The quote I remember most from him is that it would take him only 30 minutes to go over every aspect of an AK with somebody who’s never fired one. He stated for an AR, it would take him over a week to do the same explanation.
Maybe that answers your question?
Neither the AK or AR is a battle rifle.
A shot an AK that belonged to a friend of mine in TX. Talk about accurate; holy crap. I was surprised.
I was disappointed that he sold it to his sister, because I’d have given him more for it.
