AR15 vs AK47: Which One is Better?

It’s one of the oldest questions in the world of firearms: AK 47 or AR 15? The debate has raged for decades, and every gun channel eventually does their own comparison.

On one hand, you have the AK 47. It’s the most popular platform in the history of the world. No weapon has ever been more battle tested or proven. AK’s fire through virtually any conditions and just keep going. The powerful 7.62 rounds are known around the globe for their destructive power. They punch through cover and armor, and when they hit, they knock the target down.

The popularity of the AK adds another component of reliability. You know you can always get spare parts and more ammo, no matter where you are. Combined, the pros of the AK make it a top pick for a lot of combatants.

The AR 15 is no slouch. The smaller 5.56 rounds offer better muzzle velocities and lighter recoil. Many argue that the AR is more accurate too. On top of that, it’s the most modular gun on the market. Anything you want to do to an AR can be done, and it’ll look good and work great while you do it.

This definitive test pits the two weapons against each other. Whatever you think you know is irrelevant. In this video, you can see the performance side by side and finally get the answer.

    Granted the Colt rifle is impressive, but now I see so many customized models and to me that complicates selecting, buying and maintaining and operating the weapon. So when speaking about the original M-16 series, the AR-15’s or the military issue M-4, I feel that they should be looked at individually, particularly now with direct impingement as an option.

    The AK to my surprise is more modifiable than I thought and I do like the new black models, but functionality comes first. And that seems to be where they excel. Parts and ammo is plentiful, but then in reality, I know I can buy AR-15 parts from online and/or mail order sources or any gun shop.

    I am interested in owning at least one AR-15, but am leaning towards an AK more and more due to the mechanical simplicity and I don’t need 100’s of choices in parts, I just want well made, reasonably priced parts. I want to note, I know it’s a variant, but I like the Mitchel Arms Counter Sniper AK, but it is chambered in .308. Then again so is the AR-10 or customized AR-15’s.
    I just like it much like I favor the FN FAL, for open areas, a compact AK will serve most of us well.

      just where do you think you’re going to get ammo for the AK when TSHTF???????

    Both of you neglect the fact that both ar and aks need jackets bullets however go style rifles while heavier are more accurate provide less recoil and will shoot plain cast bullets

    I think that everything said made a lot of sense.
    However, think about this, suppose you added a little content?
    I ain’t saying your information isn’t solid., however what if you
    added a headline to maybe grab people’s attention? I
    mean AR15 vs AK47: Which One is Better? – National Gun Network is kinda plain. You should glance at Yahoo’s front page
    and watch how they create article headlines to get viewers to click.

    You might try adding a video or a picture or two to grab readers interested about everything’ve got to
    say. In my opinion, it might make your posts a little bit more interesting.

    My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.

    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress
    on various websites for about a year and am nervous about
    switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net.

    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
