- You’ve probably heard it a thousand times: The AK can’t hit the broad side of a barn. But why? Well today I go into a few of the reasons people tend to think AK’s aren’t as accurate as their peers, and ways you can fix that.

About Me
My name is Brandon Herrera. I'm the owner and operator of The AK Guy Inc, a 07 Firearm Manufacturer based out of Fayetteville, NC. I also co-own Stark Media Group, and designed the rifle known as the AK-50.
I've started to dedicate this UA-cam channel above all to have fun, but also as a way to document my entrepreneurial journey for the next few years as I try to grow my companies. Hopefully, people can learn from my example, successes, and failures.
Either way, I'm having a lot of fun with it so far, and I hope it's just as fun to follow along!

There is also a fifth reason why people think it's inaccurate: Cuz that's what Call of Duty stats say.
To be fair the newest one has accurate ballistics. And in call of duty its not innacurate it just has heavy recoil so when you're playing in warzone and fighting at like 300m it seems inaccurate
there are some really shitty AK's though i once fired a full auto one that had a hole in the gas tube near where you griped it so when you fired it felt like someone flicked you in the thumb really hard... so firing it full auto was super uncomfortable but thats the thing about AK's MASSIVE difference in build quality depending where they were made...
@@happyjohn354 Did you get the AK from the middle east?
@@repolloasmuo it wasent mine it was a friends he got it back when you could buy one out of a barrel of em for 100 USD before the 1986 assault weapons ban it must have been some shitty variant though because it had absolutely NO identifying marking on it...
@@samyule4393 that's why it's inaccurate because of high recoil also we playing as spec ops in Mw so the fact that they can't control a fucking Ak is unbelievable.
Gotta love the knowledgeable honesty. Rather than the typical "it's my favorite gun, so there are no flaws" explanation.
This is the same guy that edc's a Makarov so I think he's gotten used to the idea that what he likes may not be the best.
@@sierra5065 😂 I forgot about that
#5 AK ammo is very inconsistent. Most ammo that AK guys use is cheap and can vary as much as 100 fps in the same box. It's hard to get consistent accuracy when the ammo varies so much.
Yeah. Rk62 and Lapua ammo fixes all of the issues.
#6 7.62x39 is not a great cartridge not accuracy (especially compared to 5.56 and 5.45)
yep... but when you can buy 2-4 rounds for the price of 1 you can fu** inconsistency :)
To quote Gun Jesus, don't buy "El cheapo Red, White, and Blue 'merica ammo."
@@theofficialsikris yeah just buy ammo from china... inconsistent but at 240 euro for 1000 rounds its like nothing
1. They never shot an Ak
2. They never left the house and stuck to video game knowledge
Have you played valves *BROKEN* games
PuBg SaYs So !!!!
I'd say there is a few reasons: 1. never shot one, 2. video game stigma, 3. movies 4. over used and/or poorly maintained AKs, 5. recoil patterns under successive fire were quite hefty and finally the poor consistency in older AK manufacturing (poor quality control which left some AKs very accurate and others being essentially defective in some ways whether it be reliability or accuracy).
@@UMBR444 pubg recoil is pretty realistic. Pubg's ak is still accurate even if it has high recoil.
Escape from tarkov's AK variants are pretty good.
AK's do more dmg per shot so it needs to be less accurate for balance reasons, it is really not hard to understand , what the hell is a harmonic?

I thought you were going to start pulling out AK’s as you were talking, but that might not bring the right kind of attention. Great information bro!
it would have proved he wasn't greenscreening tho
But muh AR15 is way more accurate at ranges I'll never shoot at!
True, unless of course your a designated marksmen and need that range. If I had a choice of weapon if I went to war I would go for the ak 15 so I have the ruggedness of the ak but the customization of an ar. That or a scar or g36 maybe.
Are in 308 is my choice
@@PilotTed For marksmanship and range, i'd go 7.62x51 Nato
@@PilotTed , rugedness of AK is a myth.. It is open system that will jam if dirt will came in. Construction is heavy and bendable af. Ak are great but any AR would be just more accurate, lighter and more dirt resistant.
by that logic every one with hunting rifles chambered tn things like 30-09 or 300 win mag are stupid right? those rounds and others are good at 1500 yards and beyond...but most people hunt from 50-150 yards. just because a rifle can hit something at ranges beyond what you will realistically shoot at isnt a bad thing at all.
Left out the most obvious reason people think AKs are “inaccurate”: a lot of people don’t bother to zero them, or even if they try, they don’t do it properly. That’s a biggie.
The Taliban using the ak’s don’t even have iron sights attached sometimes. They see an AK and they’re like “it shoot”
@@gabegriffin8311 Taliban AKs made in Pakistan tumble bullets most of the time so sights wont even help lol
Considering 270m kill range and the average conflict range that us enemies engage them at it makes sense
I think the biggest reason they think they are not accurate is becaues they expect too much out of them to begin with. Which is common with most rifles. Everyone expects their gun to shoot sub moa at 100 yards or its junk. That simply is not what these rifles were designed to do. Its a medium range combat rifle not a target rifle or varmint rifle. I would say most of them were plenty accurate for their intended purpose.
@@biteme263 Very true. For an combat rifles with modern intermediate ammo you only need 5 moa (which will hit a man size target at 500 yards) because after that, the rounds arent performing too well anyway

@@DaDonBossMan My guns are just tools, Beto is just an idiot.
My experience with Soviet bloc pattern rifles (SKS and AK) leads me to believe the following;
Lots of people don't have a clue how they ate supposed to be zeroed with the iron sights and how the sights are supposed to be used.
+1
Interesting I'm Australian so I'll never get a chance to use one but I love using iron sights on my rifles here can you please elaborate on how they differ from standard irons
Yep, ive gone to ranges meny meny times with both my ak and SK and out shot ar uses at 400 meters no problem.
They also usually have no actual proper techniques when shooting either.
Yes yes i know some ar users well can you shoot out to 500 meters, sure let me grab my .308 and .338 ill put 5 rouns inside a quarter for you at 500 meters lol
Josh D maybe he means that they don’t have aperture sights. AKs use open iron sights and people used to ARs will probably find this a little odd to use at first
@@mustang5132 aperture sights =/= immediately better accuracy. This is the same type of nonsense scope users say. Sure, it can make it EASIER to shoot accuractly, but it does NOT make the firearm more accurate.
The secret to accuracy is knowing and mastering the principles of marksmanship. You could give someone a top of the line long range competition rifle and if they don't know those principles, they won't hit shit with it.
My driving instructor was a Vietnam vet and he'd tell war stories to the people who wanted to talk about it . He said the first piece of training he realized was BS was the idea that the VC couldn't hit anything. "They'll give you and your buddy a third eye before anyone can see them" I'll never forget that quote.

The AKM is for 0 to 300 99% of the time.
Yea it can be effective out to 600..but if you plan to shoot 600 don't bother with an intermediate range rifle.
Dont bother with intermediate at 600? Guess you haven't heard of 5.56 or 5.45. .. .
Ben Sulla if you planned on shooting 600yards..The referred round in your mind is 556x45? If I planned on shooting 600 yards,I'd have .308 out of a BA hunting rifle..
That's why you often have literally one PKM per 3-4 АК in a squad in Russia nowadays.
My dad used to be in the military and he said he had no problems shooting targets at 500 meters with the 47 variant tho he hatedit. He preferred the 5.45 versions, they also had AR examples, but he said it would frequently jam and maintenance was harder so in his eyes it was a shity and unreliable firearm.

AK accuracy as intended by manufacturer:
up to 3-4 MOA at most
effective against individual torso targets out to 440 yards
fire beyond 440 yards is classified by Russian military as "harassment/area fire"
Asking a rifle based on a military assault rifle to work like a marksman rifle is a little silly.
Spetsnazovets holy shit someone who gets it. 3-4 MOA is pretty realistic for an eastern military weapon with eastern ammo. The average ak loudout isn’t sub moa because it wasn’t intended to be.
The point of an AK wasn't made to be accurately killing individuals, it's meant to be cheap, reliable, and effective when you have 40 starving farmers just yeeting rounds at anything that resembles an enemy of the state. When the Soviets wanted accuracy they gave someone an SVD.
@@themadkraken1912 they way people explain things is misleading.
When Soviet wanted soldiers to hit beyond 300meters, they use SVD. Under 300meters, we have RPG 7, we have many things that can shoot with.
AKs are not for snipers with long range. Beyond 300m people can be happy even with the Mosins

Long range accuracy test on AK 50
Happened, did u watch it?
ok for 7.62x39 as a caliber, biggest issue is that it goes subsonic and hits that transonic threshold around 550ish yards. so, trying to shoot that caliber farther than that isnt really viable. however, it should easily be able to hit point targets out to 500 yards. also ammunition choice is important. tula, is not going to group like hornady. as a slightly unrelated aside, ive shot my ak74 out to 400 with open sights and it worked fantastically. so the platform is solid. my biggest gripe about an AK is that i cant build one with a wrench like i can an AR. because if i could i totally would.
Rob ski from the ak47-74 operators union tested 11 different ammo brands and federal American took the top spot from hornady norma and lapua
Of course the 7.62x39 drops velocity fairly fast, its a big heavy bullet in a shell casing with barely enough propellant out of a barrel barely long enough to let enough gas build up.
Which is why the old NATO 7.62x51 made a better sniper round and a great lmg round, but was a bit much for assault rifles(ask the poor Brits who were stuck with the FN FAL) and thus the U.S. picked the 5.56...
Or at least that's how I've come to understand it.
@@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785 7.62x39 isnt standard issue calibre anymore i dont think, pretty sure its 5.45 now because of the reason you stated, 7.62x39 is great but that round was literally mimiced off the 7.92 kurz round, Kalshnikov took a 54r round and and necked it down to a x39 and it performed well enough to be mass produced, then vietnam happened and it was good BUT THEN Afghanistan happened and they realized its not good enough, times changed and wars and battles are fought further away with small arms so they swapped to flatter shooting 5.45 without losing the lethality of the weapon.
Basically AK platform is 70+ years old now, if it sucked wed have no modern AKs.
@Dorian Vujica
Kalashnikov did not "neck down a 7.62x54R" round, the 7.62x39mm round was first invented for a few weapon prototypes, including the RPD machine gun in 1943, hence the designation "m43" existing for 7.62x39mm.
Kalash had nothing to do with inventing the intermediate rifle round the soviets adopted, he just made a gun that used it. That's like saying the designer of the Glock invented 9x19 Luger because his gun fired it.
This shit is easy to look up and only takes a few minutes, c'mon man.
You can build an AK with much more basic machine tools, than you can an AR. Once built, its fairly modular, except barrel swapping. But u dont need to swap a barrel for intermediate rifle, so a moot point.
I remember reading that certain Insurgent groups in Rhodesia could not hit anything with their AK's. From interrogation it was found that in training they had been told to elevate the rear sight to shoot far away. The trainees interpreted this as it increased power, and so they always had the rear sight fully elevated.
Almost like the sniper button on an m16 platform lmfao

You mean to tell me my shots aren’t going to be accurate if I hold the rifle with my feet?
Stop spreading those capitalist lies it works just fine.
Rifle platforms were designed with specific purposes in mind. When you understand what these purposes are you understand what the rifle can do. The AK was intended to be a general purpose battle rifle for the average guy with average accuracy inside of moderate distances. Pushing an AK out to 600 yards with DMR accuracy is simply not what the platform or caliber was designed for. If you employ the rifle in its designed parameters you will find that it does the job very well. I tell people if they wanna shoot at 600 yards or further with a semi-auto look at something else because the AK is not it. AK's are great for what they were intended for just like Ruger 10/22s are great for what they are intended for.
I agree, in which case making a 600yd shot with an ak is extremely impressive
@@dak4465 itd be impressive if you could reliably repeat it round after round. But wouldn't amount to much more then a paper puncher or steel tapper because at 600yards it's only got like 230 ft lbs of energy and well below subsonic.
@@artist_with_a_gun i know im just saying it would be impressive
The AK was designed to be a bullet hose, for conscripts to throw up a wall of lead.
I always repeat this when talking about 300blk compared to 7.62x39. People always complaining about not being able to suppress the 7.62x39 but there's several platforms for doing so. Instead they use the 300blk and its ballistics are inferior for what they try to get out of the round in hunting scenarios.
The AK has been and always will be my preference despite the fact deploying with an M4.
Russians saw stg44 and said hold my vodka and ak was born
ARs also have similarities to the stg44.
@@mariosecody609 that to
stock and back part of H&K G3 looks the same, lower reciver very similar to AR15, long stroke piston and barrel similar to AK
The stg44 copied the gas operated repeating action from SVT 40. Untill the germans encountered the SVT 40 they never considered the option of putting a hole I your barrel....bad for accuracy and all that...
Lets see what is similar with StG-44.
AK-47: long stroke piston and... nothing more.
AR-15: upper & lower, grip angle, selector location, recoil spring in the buttstok, magwell and how its releases...
It's too many for the coincident.
I bought a Saiga 7.62X39 and it's one of the most accurate guns with iron sights I've ever shot. I literally cannot miss with it.
I've always been bad with notch sights, so I put a red dot on my gun and stopped shooting it and now I never miss.

That’s cuz we all watch movies. When a dude points a gun in the general direction of his enemy, all he has to do is pull the trigger. The special effects department and stunt men take care of the rest!

Dang it, you didn't mention it, but I'm sure that tac-sack hanging off my hand guard doesn't improve accuracy either.... darn

Awesome video very informative. A true gun enthusiast doesn't assume he knows everything but tries to learn as much as he can. I know very little about ak rifles but I'm quite knowledgable on firearms and i learned a lot from this video. I subscribed for the ak50 but your videos continue to surprise and impress me. Can't wait for the ak50 I'm sure she will be worth the wait
Exactly, I do the same which lead to knowing a lot about guns and they aren't too difficult to learn about if you ever want to also.
He forgot to mention the call of duty stereotype
Which is odd because ak's are fine there aswell lol. Especially in the new modern warfare.
Oh shit, Brandon Herrera was in my stomping grounds and I didn't even know it. Hope you come again, the weather is beautiful this time of year.
I got all warm and fuzzy every time you spoke on keeping headspace tight. As far as accuracy goes, there is plenty of proof out on the interweb proving that the old misconceptions are just that. I love old fudds. I visited with an old guy at the machine shop I worked at and he said the AK wasn't anything but a floppy commie scattergun. Then I showed him a video ringing steel at 300 iron sight out of a 10inch barrel. While that may not be much to boast about, it is definitely fun to throw out there for the old guys who are naive about the platform.
Just a thought, but how much of the tail wagging the dog is there in the the myth of AK being considered less than the AR accuracy. What I mean is US forces facing an enemy with AKs - doesn't it sorta help you sleep better at night holding the notion that it is inaccurate PLUS in the hands of an enemy with little marksmanship skill?
Yes it Is propaganda, but old ak can be a shitshow, all the parts from different factories or different generations
That sounds sort of dumb, as the AK isn’t accurate in the hands of a untrained guy. I never heard the US forces besides Soldiers and Fuds who heard about this claim the AKs are inaccurate
cloverleafsippa713 I was planning to get one since that’s usually the “starter gun owners” gun since there are so many of them. Thanks for the tip anyway.
@cloverleafsippa713 that was intention of it you can be so drunk your piss has two streams but SKS always work same way
As someone that grew up being educated on firearms by what could only be called "Fudds", this video was very helpful for me. I don't know why it takes someone saying it out loud to realize that alot of the old stereotypes about aks are false or at least misconstrued, but it does. Thank you for taking the time to explain all this. I know this is an older video, but I just discovered your channel recently and have been watching my way through everything.
Damn I'm late but thanks man, this has been a huge eye opener as I've never shot an AK before I've just stuck to the rumors of The AK having shit accuracy
But James Yeager says head-space don't matter.
@Mike Gee you didnt understand the op.
And you have never been shot at. Everyone takes cover. Unless youre hollywood.
I quit reading at Yeager
Yeah, that's why he called a spade a spade and sent Century back their pieces of shit. Another internet moron who thinks taking cover is for pussies. Sitting atop a ridgeline in the Kandahar Valley, taking AK fire from 700-800 meters away, while returning fire with the m240b, I still took cover. What do you think knucklehead, the bullet leaves the muzzle of the AK and says to itself "I am only effective and accurate under 300 meters, so I am going non lethal at 301 meters"?
Yeager never said head space doesn't matter, and when he "took cover" he was using a PKM
@Weedus He's not wrong. An AR type rifle has less over-penetration, holds more ammo, and is less prone to malfunction.

I know people that couldn't hit the broadside of my mother in law, much less a barn...maybe if they were on the east coast and aiming east, they might, MIGHT have a chance at hitting some water. But 99% sure, they'd still F it up and not hit anything. So while I commend your video on AK inaccuracies, these people I mention, are still F'd. Oh, great video by the way ;)
My personal thoughts:
7.62x39mm drops like a brick, and your average soviet ammunition is not the best quality.
The stereotypes around the wielder. Either a conscript, farmer or fanatic. Not the most accurate of people.
The guns have been overused and not made of the best stuff.
The answer for me which suplexes the debate: The fucking PSL.
Or the PTR-32 in 7.62x39, ak operators union proved that gun is accurate, lol.
"The stereotypes around the wielder. Either a conscript, farmer or fanatic. Not the most accurate of people."

Barrel harmonics matters a lot, when you fire it acts like a plucked guitar string with the end of the barrel acting as the vibrational node on typical rifles. The gas block placement on the AK is like putting your finger on the string, changing the vibration exactly the same as it would a guitar string. The only way to eliminate barrel harmonics is with a specially structured barrel.
One of the things I love about Brandon Herrera...He knows the difference between farther and further.
my old c39 shot 1.25 moa. however i got rid of it since id rather have an ak that shoots 2 to 2.5 moa and doesn't self grenade.
Matt Daniels I bet the headspace was tight.....until the cast bolt and trunion started to deform
assfacetheclown29 C39 don’t have trunions.
I have c39v2 pistol i was zeroing next to a guy with a daniel defense ar15 they where confused how i was getting better groups and accuracy over there Expensive rifle. The guy didnt congratulate the gun he just said im a good shot probably with any gun
@@unrulyares1337 Because guys who buy Daniel Defense can't shoot for shit, and don't know guns for shit. Overpriced nothingness is what those rifles are.
5.45 it's the master race
Great video
I dunno i wouldnt mind havin a 54R AK.
Guess I'll never invite you to my birthday party, *hmph.*
Freaking awesome- thanks for the knowledge tovarich
As a Myrtle Beach native, the comment about The Bowery in the blooper reel was epic 😂
Pratice is key i have an old AK passed down. You are 100% correct when it comes too build quality ive shot my old one and then a newer ak such as a century arms that my buddy has I can barely hold a few inches MOA at 100 yards. Pratice and build quality are at upmost importance. Yeah you only paid 500$ but was that a worthy 500$?
I thought u were Seth Rogen for a sec
I thought I was all bought up on AK's then this guy named Brandon came out with the AKG 47. It's supposed to be very well put together and now I want one. LOL just tell me are you planning on building any milled ones in the future? I only ask this because I don't want to buy the stamped one and think I'm done and then you come out with a milled one and I have to have it too haha.
J Chemikill Haha we’re not planning on it at the moment, but who knows 🤷♂️😉
Brandon Herrera you'll start building a milled receiver version about a month after I get the stamped one with the nicer wood furniture. Lol
I have a Sam7R from arsenal. I enjoyed the milled receiver, the fit and finish. But I'm miffed about aftermarket options.
It has a side rail to mount an optic, but once mounted the cheek weld becomes a chin weld.
Because it's milled aftermarket inline stocks are hard to get.
I reacted harshly to making to mistake of buying an IO AK and jumped to the other side of the price point. It's a solid gun by itself though.
I'm planning on building a 1911 and an AK at some point in the next year or so so this vid is really helpful. Thanks yo.
The REAL #1 reason people think AKs aren't accurate... they have seen too many movies where desert dwelling douches shoot 10,000 rounds, and don't hit chit!
I think alot of reasons are also because games like Call of Duty have the AK as the powerful but slow, inaccurate gun and the M16 as accurate but low fire rate gun.
The A-team! Loved that show.
When I mention tolerance causing accuracy its head space, and the top cover when you use a scope.

- Front sight/gas block combo
- Handguard not retained to barrel
Mister, I feel like informing you that the Ministry of Defense of Russia actually answered at least to these if not more "ideal AK hopes" of yours with the issue of AK-12 as of late.
And Valmet answered those problems in 1962 with ak based rk62
Learned some good shit here brother. I am not an AK guy (being polish its irony) and did not have a lot of information on some of these misconceptions. Thank you for teaching me something new and after watching a fair portion of your vids making me debate getting an AK in the near future just to have it!
Ive never had an ak. I have a sks! Your #1reason is exactly what i thought it would be!
It's 2019 and my tantal still has a 5.56 barrel because Century still denies it is part of their recall... 😢
If you are really feeling like oprah, fix it for me for free lol...
It’s as accurate as necessary, and no more
Yoooooo I live in myrtle thats cool that you come down here
been watching a lot of your videos recently as i only found you recently. I love this video. I love that you talk about the barrel harmonics because no one, not one unless they have actually shot long distance understand what a free float barrel can do vs how the traditional ak and its crap that gets attached to the barrel makes it less accurate. could you make a video about an ak that is purpose made for accurate shots still using the 7.62 x 39 calibre? im not saying the one you did with the valk caliber you posted a few days ago. i am saying take a cheap lets say psak 47 gf3 or something and just take off the unecesairy stuff like the cleaning rod and things like that out so that you can make it as accurate as possible lol
Such innocent times...the very start of January 2020
My ak sights are slightly canted to the right. Still hits like 3 moa. Rifle is fine.
from an AR guy thank you for all the breakdowns on your love of guns, I am trying to build a nice long shooter out of a moisin if u have any info I would be greaful. thanks Shon...
hey man, been trying to make the almighty decision of AR vs AK for my first rifle, and have been more intrigued by ARs due to ease of info online but I feel confident I can buy an AK47 and solely rely on your videos and be good to go so here I am sponging info 👍
I had same debate, went AK47. at least I can still find ammo. no so much 5.56 or .233
WImob420 yeah Ive always just loved the look, function and sound of AKs more too, I was just confused with the range of AK47s there were at first only having handguns, and the AR seemed easier to grasp, but Im definitely going AK, and ive always been a bigger caliber guy so I feel ill have much more fun shooting it once I pick one up, just gotta figure out what to buy now 😂
My next AK will be the AkG-47 🔜🔜
"BRANDON"... What an awesome name!!
Always bought based on caliber "damage". Shot a pile of asphalt shingles with one, it made 2 piles out of 1. Carved right through the pile. Had AK's when the shit was down, it saved my asp. Won't change for a limp asp round from the 5.56 preachers.
I think I got you Brandon,
Short sight radius LOL
As soon as I start watching this video I was waiting for you to say ballistic coefficient
if I do my part the rifle will do it part
Perhaps an accuracy test with and without the lower hand guard might be informative....
Ahh, the happy times. Wish we cohld be back there.
This is a year old now so you probably won't see this but I've been shopping around for my first AK. I have been trying to get an idea of which brands/guns are good and which ones will rip me off. I think now that since I have seen you speak intelligently on the platform and more importantly, with passion, I will probably buy an AKG 47. The price is more than say a Century Arms MAR10, but the passion and intelligence behind the weapon make it worth the extra money.
