Watched a special where they interviewed Kalashnikov. when they got to the AK 74, he said he hated it.
the Ruskyies wanted to copy us and our M-16 with its 5.56/223 varmint round....because I guess they figured we must know something they dont.
we are replacing the 5.56 currently in the sandbox with the 6.8, which can shoot through stuff other than tee shirts to hit the bad guy.
stay with the AK47 in 7.62X39...or better yer get ye a M1A1 or an M1, or even a FNFAL...
IMHO anyway....and flame away .22 lovers.
There’s nothing wrong with the 74 as used for training at lower cost. Buy a 47, know how to use it, and practice like crazy on the 74. It’s fun and cheap.
a lot of statists get extra holes in them.But 5.56 doesn't begin to compete with the folly of the 5.7x25 for the Five-seveN and the PS90. I love the PS90 [/s], twelve million rounds of (almost) 22 Hornet. It's usually a clue you have a sucky round when you need a brazilian of them. FAL forever!
