AK is pretty shit
It's an outdated peice of shit with no effect over 300m and accuracy unacceptable by any military force over 100m
It's good for certain things
>Implying any modern pistol is superior to the Type 94
It's good for sand niggers and commie larpers
But ar15 > ak
Unpopular opinion: The AK is *Fun*
I like
kill guns
The AR-15 is just as shitty
>the standard by which all is compared
Both obsolete pieces of shit kept alive by dumbasses and boomers and dumbass boomers
I guess I can respect a position where you think both AR and AK platforms are shit but I still dont understand it
>he doesn't consider the AK the standard
>the most common firearm on the whole planet
AR-15 is 40 years old and well beyond reasonable service life for a platform
Just don't put a 2lb fucking cheesegrater on the AR and you're good
>Implying the Federov isnt the best Assault rifle
Also fuck the forward assist
5.56 is being used in guns with a 14-16in barrel when it was literally designed for 20in barrels, and based on the WWII design of the assault rifle for engagements within a 200-300m envelope
Despite modern engagements being well in to the 800m range
The M16 was fine and the m4 is bad
And both NATO rounds being fucking garbage at these ranges
And still adequate Rofl. In addition, the AR-15 is one of the easier rifles to rechamber for new rounds. Everything from .22 LR to .50BMG and 20mm uppers for AR-15s exist.
It's inadequate
Modern engagements *Sometimes* reach into 800m
but if everyone uses an assault rifle that cant engage well past 300 but they engage at 800 whats the issue? seems like a fair fight to me
Most are within 200m
Artillery does our 800m
An overwhelming majority under 100m
They are routinely beyond 200m
The problem is the word police bullshit
To the point that infantry are bitching to bring back battel rifles because 5.56 is inadequate
>Same infantry will begin bitching about recoil
5.56 is inadequate in desert patrols
Infantry bitch about everything
@RoflTank Okay, so the AR-15 is inadequate. In what ways is it lacking? Are there any ways for those shortcomings to be addressed without fucking with the design too much? If not, what do you propose to take its place?
The US army moves on artillery, and we're just holding back because we're acting as police in the middle east
