JMHO~~~Bad move,,,the AK is a far better weapon than the
M-16 type rifle,,,any of them,,,they WILL NOT operate
with any sand/etc. in the action,,,the AK will,,,
this ammo problem(stealing) is BS,,,the world is full of AK ammo,,,it will never “dry-up”...

I think we’re all in agreement on this. Not the best choice.

For some reason, I can't re-access the full article...But I think the point is that WE are no longer suppling AK ammo that is being stolen at an alarming rate.

P.S. Although I have kept an AR in .223 for many years, I'm no cheerleader for it as a combat weapon, either.

All in all, This idea makes sense....Provided our friends remember how important cleanliness is in their few days of training.

AK-47 is less accurate than M-16. Maintenance is a problem for M-16, and less power, but more accurate than AK-47. More accuracy means less chance to shoot again and hit a civilian.
