It was VERY unscientific! :-) I just thought it was funny. :-) If only the debate was as easily solved as R. Lee Ermey makes it! :-)

Soon though, me and some AK shooters are going to shoot. We'll try to be just a little more scientific. I try hard not to take sides on the classic "AR vs AK" debate, because it's too much like splitting hairs and performs no useful function except to make us all indignant with each other.

I DO think it will be interesting though at the shoot. My daughter has an Armalite SPR and nobody in the house here can out-shoot her except with one of the scoped bolt guns.

Recently however, we went shooting and somebody with another AR gave her a run for her money! He had an Armalite A-2/HBAR that he shoots national match 600 yard competition with and he's an EXPERIENCED shooter. At 100 yards, him and her shot clothes pins OFF the metal rods we were using as target holders. When those were gone, they shot the rods ("about" 3/8" in diameter). Nobody really "won", but it was funny to watch! :-) They RUINED my target rods! :-)

I'll try to keep you guys in the loop on how it goes. :-)

Reminds me of an old Beverly Hillbillies episode where Uncle Jed and Ellie May were driving nails in a tree about 300 yards off in their back yard. With black powder.
