If I had to travel in space and explore a Earth like planet, Id want an Ak chambered in 7.62x39 although here on Earth I like the AR-15 chambered in 5.56.
I have one of about 10 legal full auto Ak74s in the USA.
I bought it super cheap ($750) decades ago.
It’s a heck of a lot of fun to shoot and appreciated a lot.

I followed the National Interest blog for quite some time, but finally stopped paying attention to them because they were so virulently anti-Trump. “We’ve got to get this guy out of here.” I got kinda tired of it. They never really say WHY they’re so against him, right? Just “Wow, we hate this guy. He needs to go.”
Ok, so - is what we have now BETTER, in their opinion?
I know a lot of y’all probably follow “the national interest” and maybe you know the answer to this.
Just looking at the sight radius of that gun, you couldn't hit the side of a barn with it at that distance, and that bullet will have lost most of its effectiveness if you could.
I was always glad that our enemies constantly kept adopting inferior weapons starting with the AK-47. They still seem to believe in the tactic of "spray and pray."
Guess I won’t be getting one now that the O’Biden False Govt has banned importation of Russian guns & ammo.
Apparently the Nikonov AN-94 was too [expensive/complicated/unreliable/lacked-political-connections/fill-in-the-Russian-blank]...
