Because its cheap and easy to obtain
As i said just now
Ok but why get an ak 47
When an ar 15 is so much better
I never said that
I would rather get a newer weapon
Its overrated

@Bonbon
Well whats the cost difference between ak47 and ar15?
True
But its still a shit gun
Y
It jams a ton
And its unreliable
You speaking from experience?
No
I dont own an ak 47
But ive heard about other peoples experiences with it
I have also...
The AK is one if the most reliable weapons ever built...
Ahahah
the Russian philosophy for "reliable" is "easy to fix when it breaks"
Whereas the american philosophy is "it don't break"
The AK is 'reliable' because of its simplicity
Good point
But it has loose tolerances, and dirt and sand can get into vital components
Theres several youtube videos of guys putting the AK through some mud tests along with an AR. Ill have to dig them up. The results are suprising.
The ARs pass where the AK fails, iirc
The only test I've seen where the AK won was when they were both stuck in dry ice
It does. Now I did have alot of jams due to sand and crap in my A2 when I was in basic. Sand likes to stop that bolt dead. However I havent had the issue with newer rifles. My guess is the older and more used the rifle is, the looser the tolerances are to allow contamination to get into vital parts. That doesnt negate fouling based malfunctions though. Ive had several newer ARs start to jam after 500+ rounds. The tighter the tolerances, the cleaner it needs to be.
Most fouling malfunctions occur in the bolt carrier group
The AR shits where it eats
My kind of AR
that was pure awesomeness
and freedom

Pity that it requires a different type of 45-70 ammo
hm you must have had friends experience whats known as a Khyber Pass AK-47 or a early Korean AK-47 for them to function poorly and jam more than its worth @Bonbon
I don't like most ar 15s
i prefer semi auto shotgun but thats me
