100% Agree. Taking the time to master the AK will make everything els better.
For sure!!! Thanks Klay!!!
My two favorite AK channels 😎
Kalashnikov supremacy
I agree and will take it further by saying ARs do nothing for me. I’ve fired a few and they just feel like toys in comparison to my AKs. As much as we all talk about “training” for some shtf scenario, the vastly more probable reality is that firearms will remain a fun hobby for the people who own them. For that purpose you have to use what makes you smile.
Great perspective…thanks for watching
Real, I think we get too caught up especially with what the media and industry want you to believe. It’s fun to just unplug and run whatever makes you happy instead of trying to optimize gear with the latest that is offered each year. That’s why I went to running a M16 build and practicing core marksmanship.
@@tacticalcombatwombat9694 Yes sir - totally agree. No one can ever take your marksmanship skills away from you - even if they take your M16 build. You can take those skills and multiply the impact of an M4 quite well. Rock on brother!
I believe that every household needs to have an AR15, Glock 9mm, fire extinguisher, and other basic household tools
But those are just tools. They're not supposed to make you happy. They just serve a purpose like any other household utility.
I also recommend every American buy other guns that they love, for enjoying life.
@@TerranPlanetaryDefenseForce Still would rather have a AK, a CZ 75, don't own a glock or a AR and don't plan to.
AKs take skill to master, AR's are so easy to use. Using AKs creates another challenge when using them in competitions, great video!
You obviously never used an AK. 😂😂😂
Completely agree mi amigo
I love all four my Zastava's, thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!!
what zastavas do you have ?
@@lifeof_cb M70 M77 M90 and M92
@@lifeof_cb Currently, I have the M70, M90, & M92. Working on getting a M85
@@FitnFire Nice!!! Sounds like a beautiful Zastava family!!!
I fully agree, I have always thought the same. Being fast on an ak47 is something special. To me it makes me feel like if I can do this with an ak, I can shoot anything. And aks are just so much funner to shoot and friends always pick the aks, Galil’s, rpks,vz58’s to shoot. Most people are amazed when I say I have a galil or rpk, there eyes light up and say can I shoot it.
Just remember, "Your fun is wrong & you should feel bad." 😂
LOLZ
I like both almost equally but for different reasons. However if I had to choose I think I'd go akm, there's just something about the esthetic and recoil impulse I like about it.
Edit: I love my BERYL
I train with AR’s for serious stuff and shoot the AK’s for fun. I just enjoy shooting AK’s because the AR will always be a work gun to me and they are kind of boring.
I think your point is definitely valid. Anytime someone can learn and be proficient with a different manual of arms, the more competent you definitely are. The “which is better” argument was always useless, why not retain the right to be better with both am I right!
Thanks boss…the which is better is completely played out.
Being a kid of the 80’s the AK has its “vibe” going, but financially speaking, it’s hard enough supporting an AR platform and that makes the AK unfortunately untouchable here.
Huge bummer and I know the annoyance, bro. But you will come to a better place eventually and financially be able to have fun. Don't lose your fun goals or even dumb fantasies as they keep you alive sometimes - make them annoy you until you get there. Own your goals because they've owned you - you own this task if you truly want to. It took me 20 years to be able to afford my dream gun - but I got there. I let the goal drift away several times as I focused on real life and other important things, but it never drifted too far - I always hauled that dinghy back in. You got this.
I’m a hopeless hybrid. I have two of each and love them both. Good vid; thanks.
Do you have a Galil Ace in 5.56?? It is the ultimate AK/AR hybrid by far. All the AR convenient crap with AK reliability mentality. Fantastic weapon if a wee bit heavy. (edited for spelling)
I do not, but have always admired them.@@justanothergunnerd8128
No problem 👍
I do not. Would love one, though. By hybrid I meant I love both the AR and the AK. Would be hard to choose one over the other if I had to.
AKs are just so much fun, wild crazy drug-binging weekend at Bernie's fun - so much more than the limp AR - in every possible way. Except assembly/disassembly - the advantage is obvious there. Kalash day every day.
Surprisingly great video - well said! Especially training with an AK in 7.62x39 - after training with that a 5.45 Kalash or 5.56 AR is just child's play for the most part. I do think however, a Galil Ace in 5.56 just beats the AR in 8 out of 10-ish categories and has the exact same features as an AR (bolt hold open with stanag mags, convenient finger-released bolt, etc. It's truly the better than an AR since it's more reliable - down side I guess is long term parts availability and maybe after market support. Oh and the Ace is heavier - big deal - the ultra rugged reliability is worth a pound... (edited for confusing typo)
Jmac customs have made AKM modernization much easier for us DIY guys...
Great video 👍 I'm on the AK and AR fence. Right now I have more AK 47 rifles in my collection 2 Arsenal Sam7 61, 1 Zastava m70, 1 Egyptian Maadi MISR 10, 2 WASR 10 1 Alpha build, 2 Romy G matching guns all original, 2 Romanian AK WUM-1, SAR-1, 2 DPMS anvils. I have some nice AR-15 also 2 LWRC, 2 SOLGW, 2 Aero precision M4A I and a couple of retro Windham Weaponry builds cause retro style ARs are my favorite. I also have some cool odd ball stuff that is a blend of both platforms.
A majority of AR dudes are still living in shame - I suspect most of them secretly have Kalash closets full of AK fantasies - LOL
AKs are just better......It's really that simple 😅
I'm a Akm Brother!!!!
ARs are indeed boring, but sometimes, boring is best. I enjoyed the video and I think you're onto something in there being value in the challenge the AK gives.
ARs are practical… aks are fun. every gun requires skill to be good with but aks more then most. personally for me the challenge adds even more fun.
@@lifeof_cb I find both fun, but I understand what you mean.
AKM supremacy. My maadi is my love.
Nice!
Algorithms buster
Poopy algorithm ball buster goes Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt…..
oh hi Mark
Suggestion for those who cannot justify buying an ak:
1. (Kind of joking) Remove your ARs bolt catch, or
2. (More serious) Buy a $200 psa ks47 lower and slap it on your existing AR upper. Then grab some ak mags. An ak experience for 20% of the cost
Algorithm buster
If you can hit with a mediocre sighting system, you shouldn't have any trouble hitting better with a good one. It just stands to reason.
My guy has a furry weapon charm
I have 2 ak’s and think of getting an ar because my buddies have them and why not right. I don’t think I want one anymore time to buy a krink or an akv
Not new to firearms but new to ownership. Started with two ARs that were my first home builds. Looking for an AK now for diversity. Thanks for the advice
Zastava, wbp, wasr.
None, they all suck on the US market
now thats a wild course, in the woods?? im surprised
I forgot I tripped and almost feel on you while at kb that year
Milled Chinese AKs
I love my AR, yeah they’re a bit basic now. Which is what’s pushing me toward the Bren/SCAR type rifles. The AK ergos just don’t work great for left hand shooters.
Have you tried being right (aka correct) handed? 😉🤣
@@FitnFire you sunuvagun 😂🤣😂
It's good for running the charging handle
AR 15’s can be boring, but AR 10’s are a horse of another color!
Can't go wrong with an AK. The most proven rifle.
And has unlived more communists than an AR 😎
Oh hi Mark.
Would love to see you run one of Krebs m23 in 556 at your next ak contest. And hear your feedback on it. Maybe Klay can beg borrow steal one for ya.
Ak to keep the boredom away.
ARs are kinda cringe. Everyone has one and they all do the same sht. They all put emphasis on sub MOA and 'ma "mag changes" are faster' in combat overseas, that super duper fast mag reload never mattered... That accuracy didn't matter much either as youre shooting at where you think the enemy is
Knowledge, experience and shooting in bad conditions makes you a better shooter. Not a rifle.
I finally got myself a Zastava and took it out to shoot over the weekend. I finally understand why people say AKs are "over gassed" and "punchy". Are there any ways to fix that? It's not that pleasant to shoot.
KNS adjustable piston
Start with a decent muzzle break. After that you can always do a KNS piston
@@bruinsfan8522 I guess my first reply got deleted but check out the kns adjustable piston
The audio is really clashing with with the voice over and the people cheering in the match can barely hear you
Listen harder ;)
so many zastava chads mhmjmmmm delicious
You got bored and switched to a platform that's less ergonomic, less accurate, less modular and more difficult to accessorize. There is nothing wrong with dumping money into a project. I look at the AR as having more options, in more calibers with more ways to make mine unique. Enjoy your journey.
I’ve seen this type of video like 159 times. We all get it. AKs are cooler, ARs are what you fight with. Gun content is drying up.
Now; you’ve seen one like it 160 times. Get those numbers up, noob.
Except AK’s hold up better in prolonged fights
@@RosaParksWasWyt you’ve been in how many “prolonged fights” where you wished you had a WASR?
@@AJohnSmith noob, lol - I guess so. Cool word, we need to bring it back.
@@Tusk_III tons of interviews of Ukrainians saying the AR’s can’t hold up for very long and their AK’s can withstand so much more
@6:53 😏
🍑 👀
Why you sound the Kermit the frog
AR's work, work better, are more modular and are "more good" duh 😛
If you want "harder" try the older MilSurp Bolt actions...or play with black powder repeaters.
Or a bow and arrow, or a rock…that’s a poor argument
@@FitnFire LOL 🤣
@FitnFire Not entirely. They are still fire arms. Though I have wondered about a bow stage for something, just to let bow people compete & show how hard they are to use, in a proper war bow poundage.
But really, to say "running AK makes X skill better" it very easy to point to even older bolt actions & day "why not use that?"
Meh
Meh meh
Ar’s are boring 🤷🏻♂️
I prefer my ak as well
💯
Getting "good" at a BAD thing doesn't make the person "better", it just shows how terrible they are at their use of time and their truly terrible decision making progress is.
The only argument in favor of the AK is that it's easier to teach people to use very quickly. It's a "hand out" gun: what you give to folks who hardly know how to use a rifle if shit pops off. It's why my home defense gun is a KP-9, because it's easy for my partner who doesn't have the desire to practice often can pick up and use if she needs to.
But that's it. The AR is better in every regard if you have time to practice on the platform.
Efficiency in movement has nothing to do with “good” or “bad.” The AK is different and requires different thinking. Becoming exceptional at one thing and applying it to another is the point. Being closed minded only keeps you ignorant to the possibilities and expansion of horizons.
…that and the AK has unalived more communists than an AR…sssoooo
@@FitnFire all these keyboard commandos running their fingertips instead of making videos. Lol. Keep writing hero, I love it.
@FitnFire Mass numbers do not make a thing "good" to use. That argument leads to "cancer being the best weapon."
AR ergos are objectively better. The platform is objectively better, more modular, etc.
AR didn't get mass produced & handed out to every dirt farmer trying to over throw what ever government they were brainwashed to hate.
What an ass
Both are boring gun platforms, honestly.
Obviously you just don’t enjoy shooting lol. Shooting anything is fun. Go play more video games
@@Stuntman396 Both platforms are overrated. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy shooting them. Sorry to hurt your feelings, little man.
I like both weapon platforms and a few more. Sights are sights.Practice makes perfect.Like that in any sport you love.
@@harveymiller4455 They are both good platforms. They are both overrated, hence why I said they are boring platforms. I'd just prefer one that works best for me, I don't need a gun to challenge me, I need one that just works with me, not against me like an AK.
