Typically.

Both will kill you.

7.62×51👈

AKM, (ak 47 is selective fire. AR 15 is semi auto.

I have a upper in 7.62/39

How is it even possible to shoot with an aperature sight?

Have you had any luck with polymer ak mags lasting?

Straight to the point & informative thank you

Ak47 1949 date of birth 1956 starting as ar10 then 15 so why compare gins not made in same yr or does ak trouble you so much you wanabeat the old girl

Can’t I love them both😢

AKs (at least old ones, the last few generations have been pieces of crap) are hardier, more reliable guns, plus 7.62 is a punchier round than what you'd get in any AR that isn't a super-specialized designer rifle (the one thing i'll give ARs is the modularity, it's a very diverse platform that people have done a ton of different things to), not to mention the aesthetics – i'm a diehard wood & steel supremacist, i hate plastic guns, but even if that wasn't the case like for the AK12 i just like the design of it way more

The main diference is that the AK 47 is better.

AK is an Ugly rifle

Now je rigoles a15 je n'aime pas les pistolet.

Go watch “The Vietnam War” by Ken Burns… Veteran John Musgrave said it best… “The enemies rifles worked, ours didn’t… The M-16 was a piece of schit”… Yes… modern-day AR’s aren’t “M-16’s”, but the operating system is the same…. I own 2, but they get dirty immediately…

One kicks ass and the other kills.

One is a modern collectible only good for hunting and home defense in a modern setting, and the other one fires 5.56x45mm ammo and will outlive us all

When people ask what's the difference between the AK and the AR its not all these obvious points you are making here. Those who are new to milotary rifles want to know if the calibers interchange, is one better than the other, which one would we choose, etc. No newbie can understand what was just rattled off in this vid.

5.56 is very high velocity and affective out to longer ranges but 7.62×39 is a bigger bullet and has better knockdown power within its affective range.

@jonmanily

What are some differences between the AK and AR? Everything. Literally everything.

I have both, but AR wins in my book every time. I like to actually be able to hit what I'm aiming at.

full auto mode in AK-47 has it on the middle. Because you need to choose when u wanna use it. In stressed engagment it is Easy to shoot everything Quickly and ruin your day.

And the AK round is a 30 caliber round the AR round is closer to 22 caliber

Both of these guns are Typically rifles.

Just the AK thanks

Not an ak47. Akm. Get your shit right

The butt on that ak is beautiful

Is that a commercial AK?

The AK- Doesn’t suck
AR15-Totally sucks
That’s the difference

That's a fucking AKM

Ar15:
Lighter
More penetration
Better protected sights
Lighter ammo
Heavily customizable
Shit load of features
Better safety switch keeping your finger on the trigger while cycling to a different fire mode.

Ak47:
Heavily reliable in bad enviroment
Bigger but slower bullets
Usually more mag capacity
Heavier
Exposed gas tube (not a bad thing)
More sight settings

If i missed anything sorry but im not an Ak guy, for me an Ak is pretty trash. No hate towards Ak guys.

Good guy weapons and Badguy weapons

The AK clears easily

Ar15 is super nice to use

That's actually an okay looking Ar. I hate rails on my guns.

Before we go to war here, let’s just realize these are both incredible firearms

Yo dog that's and akm not a 47
