Zone #10 - AK Vs. AR - Some Observations
- Page 3
The
safety on the AR is operated by the thumb,
without removing the grip from the rifle.
Once again, this allows the shooter to keep
the rifle trained on the threat.
Other
Issues
The AR is generally considered to be more
accurate than the AK. The AK has a reputation
of being extremely reliable, although I
never have problems with an AR, as long
as it is well-maintained.
Recoil on the AK is noticably more than
the AR. Of course, neither is a hard kicker,
but you definitely notice the difference.
The comparison of the two calibers, 5.56
Vs. 762 X 39, we will leave to another installment.
I'm sure you guys can think of other points.
But it was a fine day.
Here I am, burning up the backstop with
the AK.
This
is my buddy Tman doing the same with his
AR.
Conclusions:
It was 60 degrees, the sun was shining, and
it was better than any day we ever spent at
work.
