I don't know if I'd go that far based on a few videos....remember every dumbass out there is allowed to play gunsmith with his AR too. There's got to be a few videos floating around to prove it could go either way. They're definitely not as good looking...the silly AR's are far prettier.

JF89 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 ARs are a lot more durable then AK guys like to admit, here is a thread over on full30 on a bunch of torture tests I found from various places online. Even Rob Ski has a couple torture test videos on AR15s, he seemed fairly impressed by his BCMs reliability. https://forum.full30.com/t/for-those-who-say-ar15s-are-unreliable/6682 Every system has pros and cons , the AK is pretty widely known to be more prone to headspace issues, more so than an AR. Also the AR15 is sealed pretty tight compared to an AK so in certain situations such as a mud bath the AR has an advantage (there is a video or two in that link and on full30 of that kind of testing).

Only in some ways, most AK operators commute on camels so it takes a lot more effort to hit a range and actually use the gun. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF89 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) There are a lot of videos on AKs failing. The AKs reliability is overated. Treat your guns decently or they will fail you Here is that same mud test done on an AR Edited November 17, 2018 by JF89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
