Going into battle

If you were going into battle would you rather have the reliable AK or the more accurate AR

P95Carry · February 22nd, 2007, 03:52 PM

I'll take the AK.

Must we?

I'd take the AR. I can never get a good cheek weld on an AK.

Besides AR's are pretty reliable.

I only picked AR because FN-FAL isn't an option

Taking the AK.

I'm picking the AR over the AK. Only hits count. I'm not into spraying a lot of bullets indiscriminately all around. Just interested in hitting.
Actually I'd really rather have an M14! And I do, a Springfield Armory M1A Scout Squad with Aimpoint 2X Red Dot Scope.

AR, as I'm a lefty and that effectively rules out the AK series. But, I'm generally for 100% reliability as the first criterion of any weapon (which would dictate an AK).

So. Guess you could say I'm between a rock and a hard place. (Got a Stag AR in December, BTW. Nice shooter.)

I voted AR, don't have an AK.

Tough choice...

AK- extremely reliable, 7.62 round (bigger hole)

AR- reliable, smaller bullet, more accurate

I would say for military operations where you are usually shooting longer distances than CQC I would go for the AR since it is still reliable. Tough choice though, can't really go wrong with either...

Althogh if you have an AK you shouldn't have a problem using the enemies ammo :)
