Ok the FAL dosnt really suck but its good click-bait.
Its 2020 , PSA, Zastava , and Kalashnikov USA are gaining momentum and communism is on the rise in America… The AK appears to be gaining traction

For newer members here are the older threads on this arguement. Feel free to necro post, playing with dead things is ok around here. Some of the dinosauers in this thread are no longer members here and due to current rule changes …no politics …outside of calling AKs the right arm of the communist world.
I prefer them both, but for different reasons. If I ever needed to abandon my home or bug out into the wilderness, I would choose the AK. Otherwise, I would stay with the AR platform.
I prefer the AR to the AK just need a bottle of lube and the AR will run. I cant think of any reason I would go with an AK. Training with one is another story , obviously its a good idea to know how to use one given the communist invasion.
But I have all this 7.62x39 ammo and only 1 AR that uses that round. The AK’s are needed to use the drum mags for said ammo. Can’t have ammo and nothing to shoot it with.
Half the folks said other, but no one said what other.
Sticking with the M1 it does what yours cant.
Be used as a club, butt stroke, and has a with the bayo, its a long stabby stick.
and it kills at half a mile away. Really does good point blank too.
I’m bi-gun like @SteelPinger. I just like to bag on AR guys. Our M4’s in the army sucked, but i bought/had built my wife an AR and it functions fine. Before anyone says the army ones were old and worn out we had new issue m4’s
Some people don’t like M4 platform or had bad luck with them. The design is pretty sound and proven though. Same with the AK.
The ARs unreliability and AKs accuracy issues are way overblown,imo. 5.56 AKs are pretty close to ARs in accuracy and ARs are reliable (if lubed and built right).
AKs are still recycled trash can guns built for commies by commies because commies are poor and cant afford quality rifles. Israel couldn’t throw thier AKs out any faster and did it in favor of the m16 which is still used by them only in a lesser degree now that the Tavor took over as standard for thier military.
I’m goin completely off of here say on this one. I own an AR-14 (according to joe Biden) and I like it but I’ve watched documentaries on the AK and it seems like a more reliable gun along with accuracy.
I could be wrong here being I have no real world experience with the AK, so if you disagree I won’t argue. Just going off of what I have read.
