Makes sense. There is a video on Youtube of AK's & AR15's firing side by side in ultra slo-motion, and there is noticable flexing of an AK action when it fires.

But part of the appeal of the AK is better terminal ballistics (or at least bigger holes via .311 bullets) so I have little interest in a 5.45 AK
