Which do you prefer; AK47 or AR15?

Especially if it does need a lot of babying and constant cleaning! MSgt Cayle Harris

I have both. To be precise, I have a semi-auto version of the AK-74 in 5.45x39 and a Bushmaster XM15 in 6.8 SPC. I like them both, for different reasons. Frankly, my favorite shooter is a 1898 Springfield Krag 30-40 that a previous owner sporterized. On the battlefield, I like accuracy, so the AKs I have known did not pass muster. That said, if your issued weapon is black on ammo, or has a failure, there's always going to be more lying on the ground, and one shouldn't be too picky. Just grab one and get back in the game.

I love'm both
