The AK-47 is better than the AR-15

Well, I am arguing that the AR-15 is a better weapon to the AK-47. CA==>C1 When going to {1} and {2}, I did not see any costs of the AK-47. I believe you mean by {3}. Though the AK-7 is $600 and the AR-15 is $750, the AR-15 has some better accuracy and most of what you would need. Thus, the AR-15 is better even though the AK-47 is cheaper. It's like saying buying quantity or quality. What's better: a machine gun that shoots 90 degrees to your target {4} that costs $10 or a $100 dollar gun that just shoots 1 degree off of what you aim at. Therefore, the AR-15 is better even if the AK-47 is cheaper. The AK-47 is cheap but not as well against the AR-15. CA2==>C2 {2} stated: "Safety/Selector switch is a bit awkward requiring the user to break their grip on the rifle, cheek weld is virtually non existent" for the AK-47. "Excellent cheek weld, safety/selector switch is easily manipulated without losing sight picture" for the AR-15. Therefore, the AK-47 is not a simple gun to use. AR-15 and the AK-47 is about the same. They are both semi-simple guns. Because of the uncomfortable AK-47, the AR-15 and the AK-47 are both about the same. "Remove the magazine by pressing the magazine catch (figure 15) toward the magazine; then swing the magazine forward and out of the receiver. Pull the operating handle fully to the rear, inspect the chamber and receiver. If no cartridge is present, release the operating handle and pull the trigger" is how you would unload a AK-47. Vs. "Rotate the gun 90 degrees if you want safe unloading. Depress the magazine release and allow the magazine to fall free of the weapon," states {5}. This is how you unload an AR-15. See how simple it is. Done in a couple seconds! Therefore, unloading the AR-15 and the AK-47 are very similar. Both are not better than the other in simplicity. CA3==>C3 True that the AR is a little less reliable. Even though the AR-15 may fail due to sand, barely any army member is stupid enough to drop their gun in the sand, mud, dirt, whatever. Therefore, the reliability of the AK-47 does not matter for shooting issues. {3} CA4==> C4 "Argentina, Australia, The Bahamas, Bahrain, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Botswana, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Brazil, Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Congo, Costa Rica, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Egypt, East Timor, Estonia, Fiji, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Grenada, Haiti, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq ,Ireland, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Jamaica, Kuwait, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Maldives, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Nepal, New Zealand, Norway, Laos, Nigeria, Netherlands, Oman,Pakistan, Panama, Philippines, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Uruguay, Vietnam and Venezuela" {6}. These are the countries that use the AR-15. At least 76 countries use the AR-15, not including other groups. Yeah, a gun that popular can't be bad. (Stolen line from 16kadams) CA5==> C5 Though the AK-47 is smaller, the AR-15 is lighter than the AK-47 and thus allows soldiers to maneuver with ease. The AK-47 is more heavier and thus slows down soldiers. Slowing down means an increase of the chance of getting hit by bullets when you're in the front line while running away. {3}. AR-15 weighs 7.8 lbs while the AK-47 weighs 9.5 lbs. CA6==> C6 A M-16 is the American version of the AR-15. Thus, it can be concluded that the M-16 is a version of the AR-15, making them the same thing. The M-16 shoots at 800 rounds per minute, making it better than the AK-47. Since the M-16 is the adapted AR-15, it makes them the same thing. {3} CA7==> C7 and C8 I guess we both agree with each other. Let's wipe these two contentions out, can we? You agree that the range of the AR-15 is superior, and the AK-47 has more stopping power. The AR-15 truly has more range than the AK-47. {3}. The AK-47 only shoots 400 yards. The AR-15 shoots 600 yards. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally, on to my contentions: Con C1 Accuracy and Range The AR-15 beats the AK-47 at point-blank death and long-range death. The AR-15 {3} hits a target with more energy at 400 yards than the AK-47. The AK-47 is only best at short range and point-blank while the AR-15 shoots at both long and short range with deadly accuracy. Because the accuracy of the AR-15 is higher than the AK-47, the AR-15 could be considered as a "sniper" to the AK-47. Meaning, in a battle, the AR-15 would win because of the accuracy and range. If you want the accurate, long range deadly gun, choose the AR-15. Con C2 Varieties The AR-15 is like a group of guns. There are many shapes and sizes of the AR-15, ranging from the Colt pistol (AR-15) to the M-16. Since the AK-47 has less varieties, the AR-15 is better because there is a bigger variety of guns. Con C3 Scopes The AR-15 provides easy scope installations while the AK-47 is hard to install a scope. Thus, the AR-15 is very simple to add scopes than the AK-47. Therefore, the AR-15 is better. {3} and {9}. Con C4 Loudness The AK-47 is louder than the AR-15 when shot. This, in a war, will easily let enemies know in what direction you are. The AR-15 is more silent, therefore giving the AR-15 an edge. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I await your response...
