re: #80 Dark_Falcon

Inferior compared to the AKM? I’d dispute that. It has its good points that must be measured:

The AR-15/M16 is a good bit more accurate than an AKM, average for average.

The AR is also more adaptable, taking a broader range of accessories and it can accommodate caliber changes simply by changing parts, things the AK cannot do.

ARs are also better ergonomically in the great majority of cases, and they always have a better fire selector/safety lever than does the AK.

I didn’t mention the AKM, I meant in comparison to military issue M-16s with the burst fire or (back in the day) full-auto option.
