AR's are better machined, precision rifles with much greater accuracy, where as an AK-47 is more of a utilitarian type weapon that can be buried underground for a year, dug up and fired with no problem. An AK is not as accurate as an AR but has a much greater stopping power because it uses a 7.56 round as opposed to a 5.56 that the AR-15 uses.

  The AR-15 is the commercial version of the military M-16 assault rifle. This was the standard rifle the U.S military used in Vietnam. As for why the AK-47 is superior, well, the M-16 and AK-47 were matched in Vietnam and the AK-47 was superior. It jams a lot less than the M-16 and has a better recoil.

Of all the weapons in the vast soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure, no one was lining up to buy their cars.

  Yeah, that's the reason why the Vietcongs killed 400,000 Americans G.Is in Vietnam. Because the AK-47 has such pooor accuracy.

you can shoot a birds eye out with a bb gun if you have enough bb's....and enough birds. Accuracy has nothing to do with statistical numbers like that. Stop playing video games.

your theory, not unlike your life....is flawed

  Ok, how is the AK-47 less accurate than the AR-15, dumbass? Riddle me that? What difference in accuracy there is between two barrels firing lead?

it's 7.62 round , and AR's are made in a very wide range of calibers including a 7.62

a piston driven AR set up such as the POF is the last battle rifle you will ever need. A lot of the outcome is dependent on the nut behind the trigger...

At first the AR did have jamming problems because of the ball ammo and the fact that they were told not to clean or lube the guns , and AR has much , much better recoil than the AK

the barrel twist for the AK is all fucked up for the grain of round shot out of a AK making it very unstable....you can literally see a AK round floating in the air at 300yards...the barrel twist is that fucked up....but still a solid weapon for close up...

the AR has all the bugs worked out...the AR used during vietnam cant even be mentioned because it isnt even the same rifle anymore.....with match grade ammo(75-77grain SMK) world title 1000yard matches have been won...

the winner?.....the AR is clearly the more versatile weapon...the AK is no punk.....but it was designed and produced in 1947.....it was left behind...the ar/m16 evolved and the AK really didnt..

SUCKMYMUSCLE

for starters...ammo type, barrel rifling, barrel length...etc, etc.

the ak is a 7.62mm weapon

the m16 is 5.56mm

by your thought process...a handgun should be as accurate as a long rifle.

again, your theory and your life is riddled with failure...dumbass.

barrel length really doesnt have a whole lot to do with it in the case of a battle rifle...
