A good ar15. I've owned dozens of both since the 80s. Colt, Sandra, drasen, Olympic, bushmaster, Smith and wesson, Daniel defence, cmmg and others. On the ak side I had a norinco 84s, maidi, Egyptian, Hungarian, Romanian, and others. Both are fun. I spent the 80s and 90s in the army, shot many firearms over the years. But I'd go with the ar platform because of how many configurations, spares, sights, accessories in general. You take care of it like anything else it will take care of you. Same goes for the aks. It is a myth that aks never jam or have issues, that just not reality, and they are more susceptible to rust, they aren't as accurate, but that's because a standard ak uses sight technology that goes back over 100 years. Many countries have upgraded both platforms all over the world and no doubt they will be around for many years to come, again they both work well, but they aren't infallible, lots of ammo, mags, and parts can be found. If you can have both or many of both, then good for you, enjoy it. But if I could only have one it would be one of my ars, just my choice. Get what you can afford, and practice with it, and keep up with weapons maintenance, and they should give you many years of good service. During our foreign weapons classes we would bring out some old aks that had rust, rotting wood, etc, but they still went boom when you pulled the trigger most the time.
The AR is going to be tighter grouping at farther distances than the AK but the AK is an absolute ender within 150 yards. Throwing a heavier bullet within point blank range up to close quarters is nice stuff. The AR is going to give you more velocity which can translate to penetration ability though.
I would choose the ak platform over the AR, I know plenty of Iraq war veterans who prefer the AK over their M4 platform during the war based on the horror stories they've told me with their ar platform and the sand.
As I stated the ak platform is so rugged and reliable it’s a no brainer for someone looking to buy a rifle for a SHTF situation but the Ar platform for plinking or just shooting for fun. My AR’s jams like no other with dirt and sand
I'm one of those Iraq vets that switched to the AK for their "go to war rifle". the AR is superior in a lot of ways, but in the end, I'll take an AK 9/10.
I think aks are really cool but i gotta say that you probably have jamming problems with your ar because you buy the cheapest ones you can get. I have built many different ar-15s and they are all very reliable, no jams or anything, running dry or wet. Well made ar-15s are very reliable.
My psa build don’t jam like my cheap gun but any sand gets in the bcg it likes to not lock up and short strike. I guess my point is that dollar for dollar ak is more reliable than ar a cheaper ak like the one shown in the video and a ar that’s around the same price the ak will out preform the ar of the same value!
@@TKindustries well threaded at the muzzle end yeah, but what about the upper/reciever end? Arnt many modern aks pressed/pinned to the reciever now a day?
@@gerardoG10 there’s like 5 -8 rivets the whole gun their super simple the ar has more parts than a ak both good guns it’s all personal preference. But any person with a IQ of 60 can build a Ar
Don't feel too bad about the quality of your AR, if this was 20 years back $400 wouldn't have even gotten you a used AR. I remember paying almost $800 after taxes for an Olympic Arms AR-15 that was half the quality of yours and it pretty much resembled the very first M16 A1s except it had a fixed tulip flash hider that could not be removed or replaced, no bayonet lug, no sling swivel, a paper-thin barrel, no forward assist, and super cheap Bakelite Style handguard. This was back when we were dealing with the post-ban pre-ban bulshit in the late 90s and early 2000s. But aks where a hell of a lot cheaper back then though, and ak47>>>>>ar15 all day long 😁
I just try to show things everyone can afford! I got a cheap ak and had a cheap ar so I compared them! Cause of course the 1500$ ar will probably out run the 500$ ak and viceVersa. I’m trying to keep this channel as pocket friendly as possible for now!
AKs are for poors and I can't even afford one! AKs are for squares and Im so cool my Spanish friends all call me cool-low. I shoot the AR15 because I'm civilized and I don't poop anywhere near my drinking water l.
If you got a new Romanian Wasr for $400 in 2023. You got heck of a deal, or the seller is a doofus. I haven't seen Wasr's at that price sense 2006. Yo7d be lucky to get one for under $1000 these days.
We used to get Mosin nagants for 39.00 to 69.00 in the 80s, sks for 79.00. M1 carbines for 125.00. And I bought my first Chinese norinco 84s, with 3 mags, a sling, and oil bottle, in .223, for 349.00 I bought my first colt shorter for 600.00 and sporter2 carbine for 649.00. My first a1 configuration in 1986 for 300 plus. Who remembers .223/5.56 for 2.59-3.50 a box and 9mm for 6.99. Those days are long gone.
Got both and I love ‘‘em both 😊
I love em both too they’re both solid gun platforms

Hm
AK!! That's just my opinion...But they are so much fun!! You summed it up at end..Rugged,reliable,stopping power. #AkAllDay
I love the ak platform everything about them! I love that I never worry about if it’ll fire
There’s no such thing as stopping power
@@kaboosejuice elaborate?

Ak penetrates better
Both 🤷🏻♂️
Both… many of both.

19:40 hit?
What year are you in the AKM has a lot of aftermarket parts out there for it the AKM is a very popular Rifle now.
Amswer: AMERICA 🇺🇸 (get both) 😂
AK in 556, thats why I am gonna get PSA 102 soon.
Get both 😂

Try sand, the AR won't run for shit. Even mud it will start to malfunction. The simplicity of the AK is superior.
Threaded barrel and last round hold open is why ar for my choice
Ak has a threaded barrel. But no last round hold open only major down fall of the ak
@@TKindustries well threaded at the muzzle end yeah, but what about the upper/reciever end? Arnt many modern aks pressed/pinned to the reciever now a day?
@@gerardoG10 their normally riveted into the trunnion but can get whole trunnions with barrels
@@TKindustries rivet this, rivet that, press this, drill that lol maybe building the ar is just that much easier?
@@gerardoG10 there’s like 5 -8 rivets the whole gun their super simple the ar has more parts than a ak both good guns it’s all personal preference. But any person with a IQ of 60 can build a Ar
Ar because I actually wanna hit what I aim at.
My Ak is just as accurate as my ar up to 150 ish yards

@@deltatwoniner96 I know I missed all the good prices
You still must clean it ....
Yeah just every 3 shoots and not every range day!! Ahaha
I say Czech VZ-58
AK by far, it will run longer than the AR15 and less failures. Through mud, water, sand etc
Sick audio!
That’s a VSKA, it’s one of the worst AKs on the market and has a track record of blowing off people hands. You should get rid of it and buy a WASR 10
This is a Wasr Romanian import !!
