Which platform do you prefer: AR or AK?

[loony1]

Ar

 

[duffman0286]

I vote AK due a few reasons dont get me wrong nothing wrong with a AR (cough*** piston version)

AK
Cheaper
Battle proven reliable takes on all mistreatment
ammo is cheap
reliable surplus mags are cheap
VS

AR
More costly rifle
Ammo is getting pricey
Mags are still cheap most are reliable(avoid promag made anything)
reliable unless mistreated heavy round counts ect....


basically if comes down to cost if im picking a shtf rifle lower cost means more ammo for the same dollar

wow, I'm not surprised that the AR got more votes, but I am surprised it was this close. After the first day it was dead even. Thanks to everyone for voting in this fun poll!

I want both!

AR.

1: They are accurate
2: Reliable
3: Cool looking
4: You can put any amount of accesories on them to do anything that said mission requires

AR is a peacetime design, had some growing pains, but it's good in everything but fine sand now. I don't expect to be in fine sand. It takes more pampering, but in support and supply it's what I'd take. Only real problem I've had is one fouled chamber, still figure I can fix it. AK is essentially a wartime design and can suffer a lot of abuse before it pukes and dies. When my ARs have gone tango uniform I have an AK. Its problems have been the trigger pin popping out of the receiver when fired left handed, and about 3% FTF on the scroungy norinco ammunition I've used.

AK.

Hard to beat the worlds highest body count.

The Mosin has killed mroe people. It has killed since 1891 and still going

Hate to burst your bubble, but the AK has the Mosin beat when it comes to body count. It's the most widely produced, and used by more standing armies then any other rifle.

Mosin been in service longer. I'm not saying this to be biased. It has more kills. The Mosin is still in use in modern armies as a standard rifle and a sniper rifle.

 

[U.S. Patriot]

There have been approximately 100 Million AK variants built. They are used/have been used by approximately 50 countries.

There have been approximately 37 Million Mosin Nagant rifles built. They are used/have been by approximately 34 countries.

That's an estimated 63 million more AK's built compared to the Mosin. Not to mention they are used by more countries then the Mosin or any other rifle.

I'm not being biased, I'm just stating facts.

 

[Hoosier45]

Owned both. Sold the AK's, kept the AR's. It all comes down to personal preference.

 

[Cerberus]

Yeah the AK does have the highest body count, especially when genocides are thrown in. Not the guns fault though.

i think we can agree the Russians have the highest body count

 

[buckstopshere]

Started with AKs, moved to ARs and glad i did.

Once I was satisfied that the AR platform was in fact very durable in all kinds of conditions, the AKs only advantage disappeared.

I shoot the AR more accurately, it's easier to hike around, and quite frankly, it's a whole lot more fun.

well when you throw in price of ammo, price of rifle, price of mag's, strength of mags, price of replacement parts there quite a bit more "advantages" to a ak than one might think besides reliability

Not neccesarily the Russians. Just their design.

Body count doesn't always win the day

 

[U.S. Patriot]

With the problems my M4 is causing me. I'm liking the AK even more.

 

[Fordtough25]

I like them both about the same, and have a couple of each so... They're both fun, deadly, and reliable.
