I don't have an AR platform.
I'm more of an AK guy

Thanks for posting the video. I enjoy and appreciate my 762x39 and 545 aks.

ARs > AKs

Still one of my favorite AK vs. AR videos.
Sold my AK though.

Millennials with mullets like AKs? What those videos seem to imply.
Yeah, well, firearm maintenance is probably not big with them. Take time away from video war games (call of dirty, or something).
To each his own, some of us were trained on something or other. I still have to jerk myself into the AR frame of mind now and then.
Was weaned on the M-14 and M-1, so it is still all a bit "off" to deal with AR bolt carriers and all that.

The ham sandwich video is great. I should shove a bar of Sex Wax in the bolt carrier and see if it works. Might make it smell like coconuts and bubble gum

I too, was raised on 7.62 mm.
However,
I qualified and many times re-qualified on the M16
you can't miss with that rifle.( I had an interesting last billet in the USAF).
My preference is because of Ammo.
I can get 7.62 ammo anywhere in the world.
the same can't be said for 5.56.
Mark my words, they can't get our guns so they will go after the ammo.
:grrr:

While I very much consider myself an AR guy, mostly because of the familiarity with that gun (training, owning, discussing, etc). I very much enjoy AKs. I haven't shot my AK project gun in a LONG time, but it's not because of lack of interest.
I do see positives for both platforms. Maybe a closer "modern" comparison would be the AK74, but with ammo issues, both recent and previous, I don't envision picking up an AK 74.

Finally watched the video. Guy reminded me of Silent Bob.
Nothing new. Who knows what Russia's military leaders prioritized, but cheap(er) AKs with "doesn't suck" capabilities may have been it. 100x more conscripts with "doesn't suck" AKs would suck to encounter.
I do enjoy my AKs. I agree that there are plenty of opportunity to improve, but that's in comparison to the AR or other US/western arms.
I wonder if Russia has their version of ARFcom. Would be interesting to see the jackassery that ensued with the release of the AK12. :rofl:

The outtakes were better than the main part of the video. ;D
