Wow, you know your weapons. The reliability of an AK is amazing. Throw it in mud and it fires. 200 yards and the groups with the AK are crap. A good shot can get man size targets the majority of the time at 200 yards with the AR platform with standard sites. M1 is the best military rifle made. The reliability, accuracy and power makes the firearm of choice of a rifleman.

Depends on what you mean by accuracy , bench shooting for smallest MOA using match grade ammo or just being able to hit a man sized target

AR's are much more accurate than over 300 yards , you have to recall they make AR's in many different calibers

Travis Haley in Art of the Precision Rifle was hitting man sized targets at ONE-FUCKING-MILE with a .308 Larue OBR AR15

Battle conditions standard ammo

AK 762x39

AR 5.56 aka 223

M1 762x51 aka 308

M1 762x51 aka 308

They make AR's in 9mm , 6.5 , 6.8 , 762 , 300 black out , 50 beowulf , etc ,and they also make AK's in 556

And what do you mean by accuracy? bench shooting with match ammo or just being able to shoot man sized targets? either way your estimates are low

The AK47 is best for the "spray and pray" method.  Haji shit.  It's fitting that a monkey is holding one in the video.

The M16 on the other had is better if you actually want to hit something.  I prefer the M16A2 myself on 3 round burst.

You're showing scoped weapons on a tripod. Great for long distance shooting but that is specialized. Specialized in application of use. The majority of the military infantry needs a weapon for fast acquisition from 10 yards to 300 yards and maybe a little more. That's where open sites or electric sites come in. Try quickly engaging multiple targets at close distance with a scope. A rifleman's rifle has to be able to do everything good without specialization. Yes, you can scope an ar and hit 500 yards decent groups off a tripod.

I am aware of the different AR ammo configuration I am strictly speaking mil spec and man size targets in prone position. What I listed is most effective, at 300 or more yards the AR does not provide best range as with AKs over 100 yards IMO

Yes electric sites as in Aimpoint or Eotech. The battery in the Aimpoint can last over a year and that's what I use on my carbine. The Eotech has a much shorter battery life.

I agree.  I really prefer to use my M16A2 clone for most of my shooting.  If my life was on the line in some kind of a close quarters environment I would grab the M4 with the EOTech.  Fast target acquisition is huge in that situation.

Haven't shot an M-16 since '08...M-4 is where it's at. I keep the butt stalk at either the third or second farthest notch out. Reason (A)It allows me to perform duties without being inhibited (B)If an insurgent is spotted or begins firing where I'm located, it'll definitely be close quarter conflict. 8)

I have an Aimpoint and the battery lasts a LOT longer than a year , you can leave it on 24/7 and it will last more like 3 years

Humped a M4, but if I had to grab one of my rifles for an extended time, I would probably grab my iron sighted 74 conversion to a 105. The 5.45 round is pleasant to shoot all day, you can still get 1080 round "spam cans" for less than $200 and the AK action is hard to beat for reliability.

For casual shooting, the m16 plaform is nice. Minor nit to some of the comments, I wouldn't really take the 7.62x51 out to more than 600m. The standard round goes trans sonic about there and the accuracy goes down. For out to about 1500m the .338 Lapua in a bolt gun is good (if you have the glass to see ANYTHING at that distance). Beyond that, call in some arty or an air strike.

I stand corrected on the .308 trans sonic point. It can run out to 1000m occasionally. That said, if you have a 10+ mil holdover and you are counting it out as feet above target. You need a different round.

up to 100 yards my ass, if you're that chimp maybe. here's an old dude reliably hitting a 15" plate at 230 yards with a wasr-10, probably the lowest quality AK on the market, open sights, no stupid extraneous shit. i think the he even had XS big dot (cqb) sights on there at the time. plus the dude's vision isn't so great, to boot. russian soldiers with the newer 5.45 74's routinely make 500 yard shots without problems.



an ak-47 or 74 is more than accurate enough for any soldier. i don't understand this accuracy argument AR proponents make, most of the time they're just suppressing fire while waiting for air support to get there. it's a glorified range rifle.  ::)

sources estimate 50,000-200,000 rounds were fired in vietnam for every 1 VC kill. bench accuracy on a combat rifle is 90% irrelevant. there's a reason squad snipers exist.

i prefer the FAL myself though. nice hard-hitting round and great ergonomics, love the placement of the mag and bolt release. even beats AR ergonomics imo.

Colt, PSA, Core15.  Like I said, I love the M4, and have several.  They are great rifles, but are not near the battle rifle the AK is.  Once the AK12 becomes available, there will be no more debate on which rifle is the best battle weapon.  The AK-47 and M4 will both be left behind.   :D

This is one of my favorite rifles. Old school assault 30-30. Roughly the same power as the AK 47 round. Worked back in the cowboy days and it works now.

Indeed, the .30-30 outperformed the 7.62x39 on the energy tables...

Those old school rounds can be quite devastating. My primary field gun for hunting in bush is a Marlin 1895 GS in .45-70, a round that is almost 200 years old. I loaded my rounds to .450 Marlin SAAMI specs, firing a 550 gr. cast bullet at 1600 FPS. It has enough mass and energy to traverse a hippo lengthwise. It can be hell on feral pigs too.
