The AK? Keep the enemy so armed. Please.
Yep. I’d take a AR-15 or M-16 over an AK any old day. And twice on Sunday.
More accurate, flatter shooting, higher velocity, and much handier.
chilin,
did you read the article?
Basically makes the point that for it's intended purposes, in many cases it might be "better" than an AR.
Bottom line? While the AR-15 is, without a doubt, the top selling weapon in the US, and for a good reason, the AK is nipping at its heels in a lot of categories and has some advantages that shouldn’t be overlooked. I don’t really favor one over the other- for me they’re different tools for different roles, and much of my own weapon selection depends on what I’m doing and who I’m doing it with. For a hasty community defense, that’s normally going to be the AK. Its definitely not perfect, but it makes sense for a lot of reasons.
(my emphasis)
his points earlier in the article regarding manual of arms, inexpensive ammo, etc and effectiveness within a certain range make a lot of sense.
That "community defense" thing................seems to be working in the "stans" pretty good.
