Like the 5.56mm, the 5.45x39mm is designed to be lightweight and capable of hitting targets up to 500m-600m Which seems to me why for the majority of basic fighters, particularly non professional soldiers, the 7.62x39 and the AK would be more real world effective. My accuracy out to 100-150 yds is, for all practical purposes, no different with AK or AR. Also, if I could afford the optics that would make me reliably effective at 500 yards, I wouldn't put them on an AR.
