After two tours to Iraq as a rifleman in the USMC... I'm leaning on the AK. The AR is probably superior in most ways really and I love mine, but for the things I worry about the most like reliability... I'll lean on my AKs.
Fair enough. But I can say our m4’s are garbage. Mine and everyone else’s m4’s in 1-8 are pieced together not ever fully a m4 they were terrible. Personally take a good quality ar15 over the Ak as long as it’s a good brand can hold up great as well
@@michaelpoole1247 I mean you're not wrong. I don't think someone is either wrong or right depending on what platform they roll with, as long as they put the time into running it well, and it's a rifle that's up to the task of what you're asking it to do.
AR’s don’t have reliability issues… haven’t since Vietnam. What about your rifleman experience concerns you about the AR?
@@vaden706 reliability/maintenance
Edit: I should be more specific. A lot of times were would come across dudes' AKs, they would have burnt out barrels and rusted receivers, and just generally looked like crap but they ran. whereas my M16, just like my AR, it's not like it was crap, I just had to put a lot more consideration into its maintenance to ensure she ran. too little oil you might have issues after not too long, too much and all that moon dust ass sand would start to gunk shit up.
@@0311matt Yes I agree with you. Wasn’t sure what you originally meant big dawg. I prefer my AK for shtf for that reason as well. Also I think the .30 cal is much better for hunting should that become a necessity
Go with what you like. Both are capable of what needs to be done.
I would keep the AR because I know it so well. 22 years,4 months and 11 days in the Marine Corp three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. I always hear that the AK is more reliable than the AR. I'm not so sure. A little PM and both are very reliable. Poor cleaning and lube both will fail. I saw plenty of broken AK's in the sand. Legend and reality are much different than most think. Parts for the AR are much easier to source than AK parts here in the states. Military and prior military can repair the AR easier to faster than the AK. I think the AR is more accurate making kill shots at distance more likely. This is just my opinion, go with what you know and like. For me, it's the AR.
Agreed along with having additional replacements parts like firing pins,extractors, and BCG along with other parts and the maintenance to help the AR function correctly but still like the AK.
14:40 Real talk, that AK sound is going to make a scavenger think twice.
Modularity-AR
Weight-AR
Replacement parts-AR, though ak won’t need many probably.
Ammo pickups-AR
Mag Pickups-AR
Accuracy-AR
Reliability- maybe a slight edge to AK but that’s very debatable especially in certain environments
Cool factor-AK by a mile
I love the AK. I bought my first ak mag in 2012 before I could even buy a gun because I knew I’d have an ak one day, but there are really no practical reasons to chose an ak over an AR in a shtf situation in America.
AK47 all day long
Today you can get an Armalite chambered in 7.62x39mm. Getting the best of both worlds. And you get one chambered in .223 Wylde (Or 5.56NATO/.223 Rem. for the boomers) to go with same lower.
I love both platforms to be honest. But being a guy who cant shoot too well anyway and living in Florida, im going 7.62x39 if i absolutely had to choose one. But i definitely do appreciate and recognize the ar platform for the incredible piece of gear that it is.
The ar 15’s gas rifle system is the most reliable. It should be easier on your gun in a shft situation, you should take advantage of the full 20 inch system. if you’re concerned about reliability, you can also clean you rifles at the range to get an idea on how to properly maintain your rifles in the field and if you could do that I don’t see why a 20” system ar 15 wouldn’t work for long term shft
it is not.
if i was choosing for me? Ak. if i had to arm a friend? AR. its a great gun, but i don't enjoy shooting it.
Those RH-10's are good rifles. I'd probably go with it specifically for SHTF.
Might wanna bring up a broken case extractor and clearing rod in kits to care for both platforms you set up better than i am to film it
He's literally got an AR that has a buttstock ability and an AK...
Both can carry decent "problem solvers" on them themselves
Otherwise why go with a non collapsible buttstock on an AR?
What bout a AK in 223/556? You would have the benefits of the AK not needing as much care but with the ammo of the 223 so more ammo for weight
AKs in 5.56 are ridiculously stupid they’re range toys
@@BaconSlayer69 I am saying as a thought about would it be good to have, like would it work because the ammo is lighter but you also have the ak not needing all the care a AR needs while having the 5.56/223 ammo with less recoil. What makes them stupid? If I may ask
@@BaconSlayer69please tell me how they're stupid range toys. A gun is a gun
@@Raindrop199 just get an AR15 or X95 tavor if u wanna run 5.56 AKs are not designed to shoot 5.56
@@Raindrop199 and AR15s are not maintenance heavy guns like most people will make u to believe
Welcome to the most beat to death topic in the history of the shooting world. Like many people I own both and after decades of shooting both, in my opinion, they both have their advantages and limitations. In many respects it’s like Ford or Chevy it comes down to personal choice. Today’s AR-15 is more durable than they were 20 years ago. What it really comes down to is which one a person is the most capable with and the one they have the most confidence in.
To me the more deadly bullet is a reason for choice over other choices. Why use more bullets to bring down a thug? The second choice for the AK is reliability. Many videos show how the third world countries have kids using it and are able to keep it in use during fights.
The AK bullet is not more deadly.
Very good point about long term maintenance , the weight is a pain and the placement /balance of the weight is even more of a pain for me for the ak but the fact that when I take it apart to change things out or clean I can literally smack it with a 2x4 when I don’t have all the tools and it all works fine is what makes it a winner for me. I switched to 20 round pmags and now the balance is perfect for me and you’re absolutely right, I’m not taken targets out from hundreds of yards away anyways so more punch is best. But I would bring my ak and mosin cause that mosin will probably outlast even my ak.
Never choose an AK when you can have an AR.
Who cares what anyone else thinks or says
Buy and use whatever works best for you
With some in depth thought on a one choice rifle and caliber. Hard to beat .30-06 and just one single bullet weight for the cartridge. Honestly though at this point I would probably take the AR-15 platform chambered in 6.5 Grendel.
You can't get more real. Good drop. Thanks for giving a shit to share.
Both is the answer!
AK47 for no other reason than the tacticool factor and being able to work the action by reaching underneath like you do at 2:13.
Great point on bullet weight
For me its AK all day every day. I dont worry about if it will run. I had an AR that always jammed. Got rid of it.
Galil or Galil ACE, Beryl or m90/m85 are the correct answers
I agree with you
Depends on the ammo situation
Here in the states?
AR
Overseas?
AK
In apocalyptic situation you’ll prob find more ammo for ARs across America
Not really.
Let's be honest here for the average person the AK is the superior rifle for a apocalyptic no more government or law enforcement for decades situation. You will have gangs robbing and trying to find their next victim to prey on and you won't have time or resources to clean your rifle. AR15 and 223 ammo will be long gone because the military would have used alot of them during WW3. Manufacturers won't be producing new parts lubrication or ammo for them so people will eventually have to go the AK route. But also the AK47 is just the better option for most people especially people who don't have much experience with firearms that you will have to train like friends and family members. The AK is the most popular rifle in the world and I bet even in the USA you will be able to find 7.62x39 long after America is gone.
Another good rifle id say is the M14 rifle the .308 round is very popular and it’s everywhere too
A real actual SHTF will involve mass disruption of water and food supplies, everyone else will be foraging for the same items as me, plan carefully whatever you choose to stockpile and forage.
AK IS KING!!!
But I don't think I want an American or Romania AK for SHTF. AK's manufacturing process is much harder than AR. For the same budget, like $1000 I would pick an AR.
Anyone remember when the akm was the budget option?
There are many legends out there about AK ans AR: Reportedly there are AKs out there that shoot sub-moa groups, I never saw that in reality, mine shoots 2.5 moa with the best ammo, also there should be ARs that fires 10000 Rounds without oiling and cleaning....maybe, but not in my experience. Some say an AK cannot shoot groups under 7 to 8 moa: nonsense! Some say an AR has an integrated jam-tool: nonsense! I think both are capable weapons, with a clear advantage in precision for the AR, especially at ranges above 300, a little advantage for the AK in reliability (if I think which rifle could perform 1000 shots without ANY problems, I would take the AK....)
I'm happy I'm not the only one with a gold spray painted ak
Battlefield Pick Up will open up many doors.
Sorry to hear about your stroke, but you look great. These firearms are fun, but that's real life.
Either works
We all know it
you seem young for stroke--no brain damage!
I will find 2 buddies who will go with me,one with an AR one carrying AK and I stay with my SA 58.
210 rounds of 7.62x39= 7.6lbs., 210 rounds of 5.56x45= 5.7 lbs. A difference of 1.9 lbs. This has forever been a ridiculous argument for the AR. I have rarely seen a person killed by an AR with one shot, so the need for more ammo increases with that bullet. With bullet weight being close but the need to use more 5.56, it really makes that whole concept invalid.
77gr 556 does wonders
I like both,I would run both but that being said the reason I have both other than I like both. In time I think it be harder to find ammo for the ak after time. Since if it got really serious your not going to be able to run to the store and buy ammo. And since Biden already banned most ak ammo already coming into the country.ak might not be the best if your only choosing one.
It’s a SHTF scenario and you’re running your rifle so hard that you need to scavenge for parts and ammo, you’re ngmi
Nice video, BUT if you hit the gym do some chin-ups lift some weights you can go back to your first love the AK-47
Ill be honest, i have a 5.5 pound AR.. no matter how strong i am, I can carry that better than an AK
But man that x39 cartridge is hard to leave behind
@theblindsniper9130 exactly my point! you take a brief sabbatical from the ak then you will be right back
@@1andrebb youre out of line but youre right lol
Those distances are 300 to 500 yards dude just practice
I choose neither. Ar10 for SHTF
I guess you never seen what a 64gr soft point does in 223 or hollow point all the AK Rambo's say it's a little weak bullet take one in the chest at 300 yd then walk back to where I'm sitting and we can discuss it over a cup of coffee
The argument that I've heard of it is that someone being killed, and someone immediately being killed are two very different situations
AR =🔥 AK = 💩
