The AK can be easily repaired on the field and can quickly disassembed if it have a mechanical problem. Easier to train soldiers how to use it as well. Because its relatively easy to repair, use, clean and for it's reliability, i would take an AK anytime.
Thats not true at all, I dont know why people think that. AKs take longer to fail but once they do they are notoriously difficult to repair, everything is permanently fixed together. if you have to replace the barrel on an AR you can do it in a couple of minutes in the field, if you need to replace your barrel on an AK you need a hydraulic press, a workshop, and a good knowledge in gunsmithing
@@tp57078 "you just need to pull out one pin"... my friend, to take the barrel pin from an AK you need either a hydraulic press or a hydraulic air hammer, both of which will cost a few thousand in US dollars, you then need a conical chisel and punch to finish it or a long drift pin. Once you have gone through the lengthy process of "pulling out one pin" you actually have to remove the barrel, which will need a 20-30 ton hydraulic press or an air hammer. if you attempt to do any of this without first making sure the trunnions are tight and well supported through the entire process you will bend the rifle and make it unusable. To get the new barrel in is significantly more difficult. This is not something you can do in the field, you will need a workshop and some very expensive tools, Kalashnikov was not built to be taken apart, she will last a very long time but when she breaks its over, you get a new one.
@@alexvermaak1759 aks are cheaply built. Yes, they last way longer than an ar, and can get tossed around and still work perfectly, but the ak is basically built to be thrown out when it eventually breaks.

@@ShadowReaper-pu2hx It is the same gun legislation all over Russia. So yes everyone can own semi-auto assault rifle. But we can't own a small guns. I mean pistols or revolvers. Some think this is a big disadvantage, but others think it is ok, because these small guns will be used mostly for crimes. We have very-very weak judgement (full with corruption). So even you will use legally death force in almost 100% cases you will be sentenced to jail. So even you have assault rifle or should it be pistol, in Russia you can use it only for hunting, but not self-defence. Unfortunately we have a crime state now with mr.Putin with no justice at all. I just wonder we can own these firearms now, lol. Maybe it will be banned in nearest future just like pistols. Our state is afraid of its armed citizens.
Is it? I'm pretty sure that in Vietnam, they found that in CQB, the biggest factor in who won the fight was the highest fire rate. I mean, there has to be a balance, a gun that goes empty in half a second is as useless as one that is effective a bolt action.
@@sankhyohalder97 nah, the one who win the close quarter combat is not the one who necessarily bigger, stronger or better fire-supported like in the case of American soldiers when facing Vietnamese soldiers at close distance; but the one who have more will and readier to die for mission accomplising, in this situation surely is ours. Out of ammo or in time for reload the enemy can reach the gap, then who have gut to strike bayonet and accept being stabbed will likely stab the opponent first. And don't forget that while AK-47 ancestor of AK-12 have lower accuracy than M-16 father of M-4 (still acceptable with Soviet and Vietnamese doctrine), it has an overall more realiability, durability and suit better for vast different natural environments and physical impacts (mud, sand, water, ice, drop,...). It's critical in tropical jungle where all those factors except ice eliminated the M-16 badly which cause jamming (just shoot more than 2 mags continuously and M-16 will basically malfuction without these things); then surely you don't want a jammed stick in your hand before the barrel of an assault rifle. Fire rate and accuracy are just 2 among many factors that matter in battle for rifle. Higher fire rate and boom, jammed; does it have any meaning left? Accuracy and boom, overheated faster than enemy, is it matter anymore? Is an assault rifle supposed to bring suppressive fire or accurate ballistic?
There are a ton of issues with the scoring system. While I personally like the AR platform more, this video doesn't do enough justice to the AK platform. Moreover it feels like a comparison of wikipedia articles rather than an actual detailed analysis of either platform. Comparing things like weight, barrel length, effective range, and fire rate do not hold too without context and more information. For example, the weight of either weapon will change drastically depending on the configuration of the weapon in terms of things like the barrel, attachment interface, configurations of attachments, and etc. I feel like the video needed much more depth, much more research, and more analysis of the different aspects of the weapons. You should also screen the videos for weapon variants that aren't a part of the video. For example, there was a prototype AK-12 within the video alongside AK-15s and production AK-12s. I don't mean to be rude, but I want to provide good criticism about the video as I feel like it would be helpful for constructing higher quality ones in the future.
@@markuswilliams5075 I think maybe the he said that because the M4 has a higher fire rate and maybe can go through multiple unarmored targets with an armor piercing round.
@@stevennunez6013 The AK-12 is 20% more accurate then AK-47 and AK-74 now that doesn't sound much. But it is near upto the par as same level M4 accuracy and maybe in precision. The whole new barrel that allows the bullet to spin faster and be more precise and accurate because the barrel is made for that purpose and has built in flash hider and and muzzle break to stop the recoil from getting out of control. The AK-203 I'd prefer this gun over M4 in urban warfare like the West Bank or borders of Israel where the Islamic militants come from neighboring countries into Israel town and cities. But for more open combat without conflict where there's no town and cities. In large fields I'd go with M16-A4. If I were Chinese or indian army military personnel I'd prefer mixture of AK-12 and M16!
Ak12 for the average joe that needs a rifle that can be thrown in a closet collecting dust for a couple decades and pull it out without any issues and use it without needing to think about keeping it well lubed and clean. M4 if you have a professional military armory full of spare parts and know it will be well taken care of. Both guns are very good. Just different mindsets on how they should be used. All Aks are stupidly simple and anyone can take care of them. The parts are big and hard to lose. They are easy to clean and work well even when dirty or dry. M4/m16/AR like to be kept well lubed and work better that way and need cleaning a bit more often. Both are accurate and reliable. AK 5.45x39 has less options for good ammo vs 5.56/223 But even the worst crap steel case ammo in an AK is going to be better than the average shooter will need in any sort of combat. I would take the ak12 just knowing it will likely work just fine the rest of my life even if its not treated right. Too many stories of nasty old rusty AKs being taken apart cleaned and oiled and still working flawlessly. The m4/AR platform is a bit too tight for that. Let them get that messed up and its likely a lost cause trying to get them to function again. Hard to go wrong no matter what you pick between the two. Hopefully we will never see these two go head to head in any full scale ground war.
@TheReal RedWolfofDeath There are facts that US soldures dropped and still dropping AR for AK in middle east contries.... Reliability matters when you want to survive.
I don’t understand your scoring tbh. A longer barrel length isn’t strictly better than a shorter one, and having the fastest fire rate doesn’t matter when most soldiers don’t full-auto in engagements anyways. Sure, things like effective range and muzzle velocity are pretty easy to determine which is better, but certainly not everything you’re scoring.
You're right rifles are mostly shot in semi anyway. Plus the range mentioned in the video is inconvenient because different loads have different ranges. This video looks like it came from Wikipedia
@@Socrates99917 ??? you're putting words in my mouth. I said "A longer barrel length isn’t strictly better than a shorter one." A shorter barrel is far better in CQC situations for instance, both have pros and cons.
You only read the specs of both Ripple, but the real test never been done, test them both in under water firing, test them in dust, muds, lowest temp, and highest temp. We will see who's the best.
The Ak Is Superior When The Barrel Gets Hot On The Ar Platform The Gas Tube Will Rupture The Ak Gas System Remains Operational The 5.45 Is Accurate On The Ak Platform
@we6er123 Extreme lengths of sustained fair are not rare whatsoever. There were many battles in Afganistan that Marines were slaughtered because they overheated their M4s and the AKs kept on going.
@we6er123 Have you tested it yourself? Keep both weapons for the years after firing them, don't clean/lubricate them for long and then fire both. You will get the result.
I would say the rate of fire is debatable. 950 feels smoother and with extensive training can be used effectively but it also will lead to a lot of wasted ammo by the average troop while not being the best for suppressive or covering fire. 700 is more controllable, in bursts with say two guns each firing 4-5 round alternating bursts you can suppress an enemy more effectively.
No, you can buy a kalashnikov rifle like this for 900$ in moscow. and a normal Ak103 for 535$ . But they are made with quality. I never would use an ar-15 that i bought for 500$.. it allready sound like a shitty gun. Because an ar works on thinner tolerances. so the parts are more expensive.
You can get an AK chambered in 7.62x39, 5.45x39, 5.56x45 Newer generations allow for 7.62x51 and so on. You can't get an AR-15 chambered in 7.62x39 or 5.45x39 with out it being completely custom made. AK's are so good they can be built shitty and still work. AK's are so easy to operate with. You can teach someone that knows nothing about guns in about 3 hours, If you were teaching someone how to use a AR-15, it would take you 3 weeks to cover the basics of an AR-15. The AK is easy to use that a child can use it, and they do.
>custom made dawg they've been selling 7.62x39 AR-15 uppers that fit onto normal AR-15 lowers for years. Same with 5.45, but theres less options, *kinda the same with 5.56 AKs.* So by all accounts you can have one registered 'firearm,' and be able to either swap uppers or individual components between 5.56, 7.62x39, 300 blackout, 6.5 grendel, 5.45, .224 valk, all with either no or very little actual gunsmithing. As far as I can tell, even if you wanted your AK-12 to be in 5.56, you're still gonna have to buy an entirely separate AK19. and if theres one thing the American gun market, or even Kalashnikov Media should be able to teach you, its that theres a big difference between a crude finish and some misaligned parts, compared to actually poorly made components. Cause we have companies that both try to make cheap, crude ARs and cheap, crude AKs, and I'll generally say its the ones that make ARs that are able to stay in business with something of a serviceable reputation for longer. And really, if it takes you even three hours to teach someone to fingerbang an AR-15, you're just a bad teacher, or a nogunz yourself. And I want to make it clear that I own *one* 223 Wylde AR-15, but own a SAR-1, SA-2000M AMD-65, and a ZPAP
Taught my buddy how to field strip an AR before he went into the service. Had him down to 1 minute 10 seconds w/o tools from disassemble to reassemble after 20-30 minutes training on a match grade AR. He informed me that during his training they gave the recruits 4 minutes WITH tools to do the same thing. Both platforms have their pros and cons, but I would give a nod to the gas piston system of the AKs cuz even if it overheats and droops, a few good whacks against a hard object will get it running again whereas an AR gas tube rupture would leave you SOL for semi and auto not to mention injury from flash burn through the hole in the tube when trying to fire like a bolt action.
Attributes going for M4 are less important than the ones for AK-12. On the other hand, the relevant stats that describe gun effectiveness are on the AK-12 side.
I don't really get this video. It's comparing a carbine (thanks for the better pronunciation btw) and a rifle, both having different purposes. The M4 was made for close quarters operations, and because of its shorter barrel length (and weight), it was preferable. The AK-12 is basically just your heavily modernized improvement of an AK-74, a full rifle. It's really just not a good idea to compare the two and determine which is the "best", because they're both made for different purposes I expected the answer "lol, neither is better dummy, they're for different purposes" from this video, but sadly they didn't really deliver on that, because I believe that's the correct answer
Well I carried an M16A2, M16A4, and the M4A4 during my time in the Marine Corps and can tell you I never once had a jam or malfunction caused by my rifle. I had a bad magazine once and I had some garbage ammo once, but that would muck up any weapon, and I certainly don't blame the rifle. Hell I have my own AR-15 made of mostly "liberated" military parts that I treat like crap. I never clean it properly, it's filthy all the time, I just add some oil and keep rolling. I'm over 2000 rounds in with no malfunction yet (doing it on purpose, interested to see how long before cleanliness actually causes malfunction like some say.) I also own an AK-47, and have had several malfunctions with it in as many rounds, not caused by magazines or ammo. I know if I went back to combat and was offered the option, I'd take the US rifles any day.
@john Cenna haaaaahaaaaa! It was in my reality ! Reman ammo , beat up mags out of garbage can . The barrel was warped . Couldn't hit can of beans at 25 yards with it .
Realy??? What about maintenance??? What about the quality of the materials from wich the weapons are made??? What about the jaming risk?! What about the Resistance to dust, mud, water....?!?! This presentation is so weak!!! ITS clear for all that the AK is by far the winner!!!
Makes more sense? Are you kidding me? These fudds are more ridiculous every day... *M4* - in service since *1994* *AK (AK-47)* - in service since *1949*
I don't think rate of fire matters much, i would rather have an accurate gun than a gun that sprays bullets everywere, lower rate of fire is more controllable both in magazine capacity and handling. In real war most of the time you don't see the enemy, they are as good at hiding as you are, most modern military just spray bullets into buildings and bushes. Prefering lmgs over assault rifles.
I like the AR.. but AK still best for me Alot of UA-camrs kept comparing AR with 5.56 and AK with 7.62. and the disrespect for the AK. AK with 5.45 beats the AR accuracy.
As someone that has done a long range shoot of both weapons, I can say that the AK sprays all over the place at 300, and I had shot decently at 400 with the M4. To all those that will say that I'm more of an AR guy than AK, it's not true. I've shot AKs more than ARs. Both have their advantages compared to one another. In my opinion, the AR is a better design........................ and the M4 shoots an 5.56x45.
I dont know if I would consider the m4 better in terms of fire rate faster fire rate leads to less control in terms of range, the ak12 I would bet can fire more rounds at greater distances with better accuracy because if you want to have the same accuracy with the m4 you would need to slow down your rate of fire which is why they started making guns with burst fire option the video didnt talk about the modes of fire the guns have either which was disappointing they left the impression that they have one mode of fire which is inaccurate.
Wrong!!! Lmmfao they didn't add burst to slow down the rate of fire for accuracy lmmfao they did because during the Vietnam war soldiers and marines would do what's called spray and pray, they would literally load and hold the trigger doing mag dumps without looking for the enemy and wasting ammunition so the military brass mainly the marines had a burst option added in place of the full auto option and the M16A2 was born and adopted in 1983 by the marines and in 1986 by the army, it had nothing to do with accuracy, any AR/M16/M4 platform is more accurate than any ak platform! Cut it out!
@@Edmondson_Avenue so your saying they added the burst fire option too slow down the rate of fire which would...increase accuracy and why did they do that because soilders were mag dumping into the bushes wasting ammunition so I dont see how you contradicted my statement And yes the ak12 is highly accurate it will give any of our modern military firearms a run for its money
@@DarthVader-yd9id I never said that they added the burst feature to add accuracy lmmfao I said specifically to stop wasting ammunition! And if you think an AK is more accurate than an AR/M16/M4 you're really on one.
@@Edmondson_Avenue bro they put the burst on there to slow down the rate of fire for better accuracy Go take an M4 fire down range 300yrds on full auto at a target and then again with burst fire at a secondary target and you tell me which target is gonna have more holes in it It's only a waste of ammunition if you dont hit your target I can guarantee you when the military considered the whole issue with burst fire it wasnt because they where trying to save in ammunition it was because they wanted their soilders to hit their targets and not waste all their ammo shooting at the jungle because they could only carry so much ammunition at a time And as for an AK that's just as accurate or more than our platforms go look up the AK-107 it has no recoil
If I were to make well-funded militia, weapons would be, (Not naming attachments like scopes, sights, lasers, grips, ext, as that would take to long.) Pistol: Glock: 19x (Glocks are extra reliable and the G19 is from my perspective the best to compromise of capacity, caliber size, and size Carbine/Rifle: MCX Virtus with Geisel upgrades ( Was choosing between this and the HK416, both being reliable weapons used by CAG but the modular ability of the MCX to go from shooting 600 meters away to changing the barrel relatively fast to one primed for CQB makes it my choice DMR: M110a1 (I literally have no idea why I choose this one, I pretty much just said this sense the US Army is using this as a new SDMR and it’s replacing the trusted SR-25 LMG: Knights Armament LAMG (An extremely light LMG that is around the weight of a Thompson or M27, most likely extremely competent at the squad or fireteam level for small unit maneuvers and suppression however can’t use STANMAGs like the M249 SAW Light Medium Machine Gun: Knights Armament AMG ( Extremely light for a NATO 7.62 machine gun however not adequate for long periods of suppressive fire similar to USSOCOM’s MK48 LMG Medium Machine gun: M60e6 (Much more reliable than its Vietnam era counterpart and can provide good suppressing fire while lighter than the M240 series or FN MAG
One Day so...ironically...because I am small (5’3” 140lbs) the X95 would be better FOR ME! Personally! But my recommendation is for the IWI CTAR-21 with the 15” heavy weight carbide free floating barrel, heat resistant, chrome covered, stainless steel, bolt face, I wish Israel would fix the but stock but that’s really a tiny personal preference. Again, as a professional, a have preferred lighter and lighter trigger pull weights as I have gotten better and better at engaging the enemy by automatically going to a rapid, accurate, single shot fire mode (the optimum method of tactical shooting). There is actually an aftermarket company that makes an alternate buttstock for the Tavor/X95 family of weapons. An they have a replacement Butt Stock that “gives” up to an inch of “give” after ever round, plus an all new LEGIT muzzle break/compensator that is suppressor compatible, PLUS the rubber butt stock cover/appendage tapers away from the weapon as it goes up thus preventing the weapon from sliding down. .push pistons gas operating system.

@@sankhyohalder97 nah, the one who win the close quarter combat is not the one who necessarily bigger, stronger or better fire-supported like in the case of American soldiers when facing Vietnamese soldiers at close distance; but the one who have more will and readier to die for mission accomplising, in this situation surely is ours. Out of ammo or in time for reload the enemy can reach the gap, then who have gut to strike bayonet and accept being stabbed will likely stab the opponent first.
And don't forget that while AK-47 ancestor of AK-12 have lower accuracy than M-16 father of M-4 (still acceptable with Soviet and Vietnamese doctrine), it has an overall more realiability, durability and suit better for vast different natural environments and physical impacts (mud, sand, water, ice, drop,...). It's critical in tropical jungle where all those factors except ice eliminated the M-16 badly which cause jamming (just shoot more than 2 mags continuously and M-16 will basically malfuction without these things); then surely you don't want a jammed stick in your hand before the barrel of an assault rifle.
Fire rate and accuracy are just 2 among many factors that matter in battle for rifle. Higher fire rate and boom, jammed; does it have any meaning left? Accuracy and boom, overheated faster than enemy, is it matter anymore? Is an assault rifle supposed to bring suppressive fire or accurate ballistic?
Depends
Military Weapons no
There are a ton of issues with the scoring system. While I personally like the AR platform more, this video doesn't do enough justice to the AK platform. Moreover it feels like a comparison of wikipedia articles rather than an actual detailed analysis of either platform. Comparing things like weight, barrel length, effective range, and fire rate do not hold too without context and more information. For example, the weight of either weapon will change drastically depending on the configuration of the weapon in terms of things like the barrel, attachment interface, configurations of attachments, and etc. I feel like the video needed much more depth, much more research, and more analysis of the different aspects of the weapons. You should also screen the videos for weapon variants that aren't a part of the video. For example, there was a prototype AK-12 within the video alongside AK-15s and production AK-12s.
I don't mean to be rude, but I want to provide good criticism about the video as I feel like it would be helpful for constructing higher quality ones in the future.
Absolutely. 👌

@@stevennunez6013 The AK-12 is 20% more accurate then AK-47 and AK-74 now that doesn't sound much. But it is near upto the par as same level M4 accuracy and maybe in precision.
The whole new barrel that allows the bullet to spin faster and be more precise and accurate because the barrel is made for that purpose and has built in flash hider and and muzzle break to stop the recoil from getting out of control.
The AK-203 I'd prefer this gun over M4 in urban warfare like the West Bank or borders of Israel where the Islamic militants come from neighboring countries into Israel town and cities.
But for more open combat without conflict where there's no town and cities. In large fields I'd go with M16-A4.
If I were Chinese or indian army military personnel I'd prefer mixture of AK-12 and M16!
Ak12 for the average joe that needs a rifle that can be thrown in a closet collecting dust for a couple decades and pull it out without any issues and use it without needing to think about keeping it well lubed and clean. M4 if you have a professional military armory full of spare parts and know it will be well taken care of.
Both guns are very good. Just different mindsets on how they should be used. All Aks are stupidly simple and anyone can take care of them. The parts are big and hard to lose. They are easy to clean and work well even when dirty or dry. M4/m16/AR like to be kept well lubed and work better that way and need cleaning a bit more often. Both are accurate and reliable. AK 5.45x39 has less options for good ammo vs 5.56/223 But even the worst crap steel case ammo in an AK is going to be better than the average shooter will need in any sort of combat.
I would take the ak12 just knowing it will likely work just fine the rest of my life even if its not treated right. Too many stories of nasty old rusty AKs being taken apart cleaned and oiled and still working flawlessly. The m4/AR platform is a bit too tight for that. Let them get that messed up and its likely a lost cause trying to get them to function again. Hard to go wrong no matter what you pick between the two. Hopefully we will never see these two go head to head in any full scale ground war.

I don’t understand your scoring tbh. A longer barrel length isn’t strictly better than a shorter one, and having the fastest fire rate doesn’t matter when most soldiers don’t full-auto in engagements anyways. Sure, things like effective range and muzzle velocity are pretty easy to determine which is better, but certainly not everything you’re scoring.
Just his own version dude.. No gun can compare to AKs achievements..
You're right rifles are mostly shot in semi anyway. Plus the range mentioned in the video is inconvenient because different loads have different ranges. This video looks like it came from Wikipedia
Who says barrel length does not matter..? Barrel length matter in terms of accuracy.
@@Socrates99917 ??? you're putting words in my mouth. I said "A longer barrel length isn’t strictly better than a shorter one." A shorter barrel is far better in CQC situations for instance, both have pros and cons.

You only read the specs of both Ripple, but the real test never been done, test them both in under water firing, test them in dust, muds, lowest temp, and highest temp. We will see who's the best.
The Ak Is Superior
When The Barrel Gets Hot On The Ar Platform The Gas Tube Will Rupture
The Ak Gas System Remains Operational
The 5.45 Is Accurate On The Ak Platform
@we6er123 Extreme lengths of sustained fair are not rare whatsoever. There were many battles in Afganistan that Marines were slaughtered because they overheated their M4s and the AKs kept on going.
You did not point out the SIMPLIST rule, RELIABILITY, which makes the AK, a superior all time winner.
@we6er123 Have you tested it yourself? Keep both weapons for the years after firing them, don't clean/lubricate them for long and then fire both. You will get the result.
1:40 you say 500 metres but show 700 RPM
That was the deal he can't refuse.
I noticed it too,
m4 be careful not to dirty it or freeze it because they don't work anymore! Ak always works!
I feel in love with the first model AK-12 in Cod Ghosts and they just made her look even better, hopefully i can get it or get links to getting it
I would say the rate of fire is debatable. 950 feels smoother and with extensive training can be used effectively but it also will lead to a lot of wasted ammo by the average troop while not being the best for suppressive or covering fire. 700 is more controllable, in bursts with say two guns each firing 4-5 round alternating bursts you can suppress an enemy more effectively.
With shitty scope - no way
Rate of fire doesn’t matter jackasses unless it’s a squad automatic weapon or an mg
i think AK 12 is the best one
None of these "stats" matter irl.
How the times have changed. The Russian rifle has more effective range and more expensive than the American rifle.
No, you can buy a kalashnikov rifle like this for 900$ in moscow. and a normal Ak103 for 535$ . But they are made with quality. I never would use an ar-15 that i bought for 500$.. it allready sound like a shitty gun. Because an ar works on thinner tolerances. so the parts are more expensive.
These two rifles are pretty much good in specs but the main thing is reliability. In this segment ak perform better than m4
No it doesn't, any test will show the 556 has a greater effective range.
@@toade1583 it's not only about the ammo, but also the barrel lenght.......
You can get an AK chambered in 7.62x39, 5.45x39, 5.56x45 Newer generations allow for 7.62x51 and so on. You can't get an AR-15 chambered in 7.62x39 or 5.45x39 with out it being completely custom made. AK's are so good they can be built shitty and still work. AK's are so easy to operate with. You can teach someone that knows nothing about guns in about 3 hours, If you were teaching someone how to use a AR-15, it would take you 3 weeks to cover the basics of an AR-15. The AK is easy to use that a child can use it, and they do.
>custom made
dawg they've been selling 7.62x39 AR-15 uppers that fit onto normal AR-15 lowers for years. Same with 5.45, but theres less options, *kinda the same with 5.56 AKs.* So by all accounts you can have one registered 'firearm,' and be able to either swap uppers or individual components between 5.56, 7.62x39, 300 blackout, 6.5 grendel, 5.45, .224 valk, all with either no or very little actual gunsmithing. As far as I can tell, even if you wanted your AK-12 to be in 5.56, you're still gonna have to buy an entirely separate AK19.
and if theres one thing the American gun market, or even Kalashnikov Media should be able to teach you, its that theres a big difference between a crude finish and some misaligned parts, compared to actually poorly made components. Cause we have companies that both try to make cheap, crude ARs and cheap, crude AKs, and I'll generally say its the ones that make ARs that are able to stay in business with something of a serviceable reputation for longer.
And really, if it takes you even three hours to teach someone to fingerbang an AR-15, you're just a bad teacher, or a nogunz yourself.
And I want to make it clear that I own *one* 223 Wylde AR-15, but own a SAR-1, SA-2000M AMD-65, and a ZPAP
Taught my buddy how to field strip an AR before he went into the service. Had him down to 1 minute 10 seconds w/o tools from disassemble to reassemble after 20-30 minutes training on a match grade AR. He informed me that during his training they gave the recruits 4 minutes WITH tools to do the same thing.
Both platforms have their pros and cons, but I would give a nod to the gas piston system of the AKs cuz even if it overheats and droops, a few good whacks against a hard object will get it running again whereas an AR gas tube rupture would leave you SOL for semi and auto not to mention injury from flash burn through the hole in the tube when trying to fire like a bolt action.
You just trying to down the ak I saw my own eyes the m4 is failed many times Ak 12 is best in the world.
It’s the usuals. Try opening any American news about Russia. It’s always: ‘Yeah, they good, BUT WE’RE SOOO MUCH BETTER’
Attributes going for M4 are less important than the ones for AK-12. On the other hand, the relevant stats that describe gun effectiveness are on the AK-12 side.
Is being able to hold zero not important?
You should maybe actually own a firearm or have experiential knowledge of them if you're going to make a military weapons channel.
M4 is like a fine country girl, familiar. The AK 12 is like a really hot foreign chick, different. I can’t say no to either one
He disregarded the reliability..🤣🤣 “if you can’t have it, better destroy it”
I like Ak12 more powerful.
1:41 the “M4 effective firing range is a short 500m”
Video caption: 700m
soo are we just go ignore that he said that M4 fire 5.45x39 ? i mean 5.56x45 is not 5.45x39
I don't really get this video. It's comparing a carbine (thanks for the better pronunciation btw) and a rifle, both having different purposes. The M4 was made for close quarters operations, and because of its shorter barrel length (and weight), it was preferable. The AK-12 is basically just your heavily modernized improvement of an AK-74, a full rifle. It's really just not a good idea to compare the two and determine which is the "best", because they're both made for different purposes
I expected the answer "lol, neither is better dummy, they're for different purposes" from this video, but sadly they didn't really deliver on that, because I believe that's the correct answer
AK12 has better look better quality
AK is made for a battlefield combat while the m4 is made for policing. Both can kill you but the attributes of the am make it a far better weapon.

Well I carried an M16A2, M16A4, and the M4A4 during my time in the Marine Corps and can tell you I never once had a jam or malfunction caused by my rifle. I had a bad magazine once and I had some garbage ammo once, but that would muck up any weapon, and I certainly don't blame the rifle. Hell I have my own AR-15 made of mostly "liberated" military parts that I treat like crap. I never clean it properly, it's filthy all the time, I just add some oil and keep rolling. I'm over 2000 rounds in with no malfunction yet (doing it on purpose, interested to see how long before cleanliness actually causes malfunction like some say.)
I also own an AK-47, and have had several malfunctions with it in as many rounds, not caused by magazines or ammo. I know if I went back to combat and was offered the option, I'd take the US rifles any day.

I don't think rate of fire matters much, i would rather have an accurate gun than a gun that sprays bullets everywere, lower rate of fire is more controllable both in magazine capacity and handling.

Ak win in Battlefield
Cuz m4 in bf4 got a fkin burst fire mode instead of full auto
I dont know if I would consider the m4 better in terms of fire rate faster fire rate leads to less control in terms of range, the ak12 I would bet can fire more rounds at greater distances with better accuracy because if you want to have the same accuracy with the m4 you would need to slow down your rate of fire which is why they started making guns with burst fire option the video didnt talk about the modes of fire the guns have either which was disappointing they left the impression that they have one mode of fire which is inaccurate.
Wrong!!! Lmmfao they didn't add burst to slow down the rate of fire for accuracy lmmfao they did because during the Vietnam war soldiers and marines would do what's called spray and pray, they would literally load and hold the trigger doing mag dumps without looking for the enemy and wasting ammunition so the military brass mainly the marines had a burst option added in place of the full auto option and the M16A2 was born and adopted in 1983 by the marines and in 1986 by the army, it had nothing to do with accuracy, any AR/M16/M4 platform is more accurate than any ak platform! Cut it out!
@@Edmondson_Avenue so your saying they added the burst fire option too slow down the rate of fire which would...increase accuracy and why did they do that because soilders were mag dumping into the bushes wasting ammunition so I dont see how you contradicted my statement

Go take an M4 fire down range 300yrds on full auto at a target and then again with burst fire at a secondary target and you tell me which target is gonna have more holes in it
It's only a waste of ammunition if you dont hit your target I can guarantee you when the military considered the whole issue with burst fire it wasnt because they where trying to save in ammunition it was because they wanted their soilders to hit their targets and not waste all their ammo shooting at the jungle because they could only carry so much ammunition at a time
And as for an AK that's just as accurate or more than our platforms go look up the AK-107 it has no recoil

M4 is well known shaite. Ak is best rifle on earth so far!
Okay Abdul.
You forgot something. How about durability test? in winter, in mud, in water, in dust. AK wins. period.
If you started an army can anyone tell me a list of weapons they would provide and be best on the battlefield
Only 2 real options in the end.
Either the M27 (more traditional)
Or X95 bull pop
If I were to make well-funded militia, weapons would be, (Not naming attachments like scopes, sights, lasers, grips, ext, as that would take to long.)
Pistol: Glock: 19x (Glocks are extra reliable and the G19 is from my perspective the best to compromise of capacity, caliber size, and size
Carbine/Rifle: MCX Virtus with Geisel upgrades ( Was choosing between this and the HK416, both being reliable weapons used by CAG but the modular ability of the MCX to go from shooting 600 meters away to changing the barrel relatively fast to one primed for CQB makes it my choice
DMR: M110a1 (I literally have no idea why I choose this one, I pretty much just said this sense the US Army is using this as a new SDMR and it’s replacing the trusted SR-25
LMG: Knights Armament LAMG (An extremely light LMG that is around the weight of a Thompson or M27, most likely extremely competent at the squad or fireteam level for small unit maneuvers and suppression however can’t use STANMAGs like the M249 SAW
Light Medium Machine Gun: Knights Armament AMG ( Extremely light for a NATO 7.62 machine gun however not adequate for long periods of suppressive fire similar to USSOCOM’s MK48 LMG
Medium Machine gun: M60e6 (Much more reliable than its Vietnam era counterpart and can provide good suppressing fire while lighter than the M240 series or FN MAG
One Day so...ironically...because I am small (5’3” 140lbs) the X95 would be better FOR ME! Personally!
But my recommendation is for the IWI CTAR-21 with the 15” heavy weight carbide free floating barrel, heat resistant, chrome covered, stainless steel, bolt face, I wish Israel would fix the but stock but that’s really a tiny personal preference.
Again, as a professional, a have preferred lighter and lighter trigger pull weights as I have gotten better and better at engaging the enemy by automatically going to a rapid, accurate, single shot fire mode (the optimum method of tactical shooting).
There is actually an aftermarket company that makes an alternate buttstock for the Tavor/X95 family of weapons. An they have a replacement Butt Stock that “gives” up to an inch of “give” after ever round, plus an all new LEGIT muzzle break/compensator that is suppressor compatible, PLUS the rubber butt stock cover/appendage tapers away from the weapon as it goes up thus preventing the weapon from sliding down.
