Bingo! Compare the time it takes to field strip an AK 47 versus an AR and get ready to fire. Also I like 7.62 as opposed to .223
This illustrates quite well the benefits of simple and reliable for a civilian in caught in SHTF.
For those that are impatient, go to about minute 3:00 and watch him strip and reassemble the AK in the snow with gloves on. For a guy like me that is a lot more important than that slightly tighter grouping at 100 yards.
