I have fired about a zillion rounds and not had that happen.

But an AK still won’t hit S#!+ at 200+ yards.

So as long as you are guaranteed to never have somebody threatening you from over 200 yards away, AKs are just fine.

I know crazy jam never saw it again. Never saw very many M-16 jams either. It’ a great rifle if you know how to maintain it.

“I have fired about a zillion rounds and not had that happen.”

Double feeds from a bad magazine is the only way that happens, and smacking the stock hard on the ground is the clearing drill. But, again, bad mags way out of spec. Decent mags never have that problem.

Yep, the 7.62 x 39 ballistics are like a 30-30. It falls off a cliff after 200 yds.

I have to take exception to that. We regularly shoot at 300 and I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end. That said, we're shooting at a known distance. Flatter trajectory prevails at longer unknown distances.
