A very good friend of mine is a USMC Major. He’s a certifiable gun nut and KNOWS guns. He’s been in Kosovo, Somolia, Iraq, and is in Afghanistan now. He commanded a base in Iraq when he was there. In Iraq he had access to many types of guns, and yet he carried an AK underfolder, never left his base without it.

Make of that what you will, but it speaks volumes to me. He trusted his life to an AK.

I am in Khost Afghanistan. I carry an AKSU-47 and keep a Maverick 12 gauge pump in the vehicle.

Useless anecdote. In his situation, a pistol would have served as well. He wasn't alone, was he? He was surrounded by a sqaud or more of riflemen, with support a radio call away.

This issue is AK vs AR, no support.
