[QUOTE="Bigdawg90, post: 3780649, member: 49831"] For me the AR wins out in almost every scenario. The AK is a great weapon, but being built for reliability makes it fail in many regards that are far more important in gun fighting. The AR’s manual of arms lends itself to operation during intense, stressful times. The AK can be run in YouTube videos but under even stressful training scenarios running it becomes cumbersome and stressful. Reloads are a great example. It’s the main reason the AR platform replaced the MP5 in most Police circles worldwide. Safety switches are another example of how a simple ergonomic changes how a weapon system feels. The AR needs to be maintained, but if you have an even decent BCG, you do a basic wipe down and oil and you’ll be good to go. I have an AK to train on just in case it’s the only thing I have, I know how to use one, but in any situation I can think of I’ll be using one of my ARs. As soon as I can reliably get my hands on a sig MCX, I’ll be running with that :) [/QUOTE]
