ak or m4?

Re: ak or m4?

These guys do an AK vs AR shootout each year:

Zak Smith on West Pueblo AR vs AK shootout

The results are pretty clear.

I'd like a little CLP on my popcorn please!

When you guys get gone here maybe we can move on to:
.45 vs 9mm
.556 vs .308
Gas gun vs Bolt gun
The list goes on! </div></div>

Sounds like fun,
9mm passes through without enough expansion thats why .45 is better
.556 compared to a 308 is a good one, besides the recoil the 308 is much better!
Gas gun builds up more debris but has repeat shots while a bolt is manual and also a good choice.

Re: ak or m4?

I like the summation of Zak's from the above referenced link:

Lessons re-learned:

* AKs are not necessarily more reliable than AR's
* AK sights suck
* It's way easier to make hits with a stock AR-15A2 than an AK.
* Reloads on an AK suck
* At anything beyond "across the room distances", the AK is less than 25% as capable as a modern AR (comparing shooter times and stage difficulty)

Rebuttal attemps shall be in the form of heads-up match results only. We shoot carbines to 425 yards monthly; anyone is free to show up and deliver. Anything else is really irrelevant and I've no patience for internet dirt shooters. </div></div>

Didn't Scottmilk9 refer to "minute of dirt"??

Grab what-chu feel comfortable with and kill what is threatening you or your family....The most successful or best choice is the one that leaves the attacker or the enemy dead below your feet staining your carpet.........SmokeRolls

Re: ak or m4?

Besides the recoil a 155mm is better!

Re: ak or m4?

I would like to have a house left to complain about. a 30 cal or 5.56 would suffice...SmokeRolls

Re: ak or m4?

Wow, i guess I'm the only person in the world who can shoot an AK accurately and quickly...

saiga's are an exception to the rule

Re: ak or m4?

Az,

that may be so, but then maybe we shouldn't assume, just because a Bulgarian reject parts kit, combined by some guy in his basement in the USA, shoots 8" groups at 50yrds, that all AK's are bad.

I own nothing but RUSSIAN AKs and mine are wonderful. As you can see, I have 5.

My answer is......pink!

It's a BS question that doesn't have an answer. Either is an effective combat weapon. Both have strengths and weaknesses.

Warriors can do battle with either.

I have both. I have my preferences due to familiarity. My choice would have more to do with logistics than with the platform.

Charlie Sheen says: I like both, it just depends on the situation.

Re: ak or m4?

Haha. The operator is more influential than the weapon system he uses. However, I'd like to think that one with an M4 configuration can do much more than the typical ak47. Look at this as you will.

Yeah, but the .45 is too small, and is outperformed by the 10mm and .50GI
