I think youre a fluke.... and plinking is nothing like wartime, or even training for wartime. No offense bro. I haven't been deployed but the differences just in training are huge... and the feedback ive heard from my buds thT deployed paint a completely different picture than what youve generally heard. ARs arent the unreliable piece of plastic crap they used to
^^
I've been deployed 2 times- I'll give you some feedback... AK's strong point is at CLOSE range, less than 100 meters, more than that the rounds are EVERYWHERE, whizzing and popping overhead!!!
M-16's distinguish themselves by ACCURACY, enemy regularly being dropped at 300 meters (try that with any AK).
We used to have the FN, and I'll give you my opinion- accurate, hard hitting, but AMMO is very, very heavy to hump 10km marches!!!
