still havent goten a quite clear answer what im trying to find is comparing true apples to apples. it was once mentioned that the hole AR vs. Ak debate is not valid because its not comparing apples to apples more like apple to oranges. so i wana compare Apples to apples. if you were to take an ak platform and an ar platform same caliber would they be compareable. every one states they prefer the ar platform because the .223 or 5.56 ammo can be accurate out to said meters. well if ak platform was to shoot same performance wise if the caliber was the same as the ar platform such as the .223 or 5.56. of coarse the first thing every one will know is my firearm background but im not talking about "MY" accuracy with these rifles i want the statisticts. i could quote many that some state the ar in .223 is "accurate" out to 800 meter range. and then they say the ak in 7.62 is "accurate" out to 400-500 meters. so lets make it apples to apples chose your caliber and compare which ever it may be .223, .308 or any other that both platforms are produced in.

Dude, where the hell are you going with this? They are still two different rifles even if they have the same caliber. The AR and AK are both fine rifles so why not just buy both and save yourself the debate?

The more realistic comparison....or "apples to apples" would be the AR15 (5.56) vs the AK74 (5.45).....


My Arsenal AK74 is more accurate with irons than my AR.

I just have to ask the OP......WHY????? PLEASE NO.

Your post was kind of hard to read,are you asking if an AK in .223/556 is just as accurate as an AR 100% the same?

I personally believe that apples are more reliable, while oranges are better at long range.

Apples are clearly the superior fruit.

They have a heavier grain for better knock-down power and are just more accurate at long distances.....

APPLES FTW.

Although, oranges can be just as accurate at long-range you just have to compensate for the massive fruit drop.

An apple a day will keep the bad guys away, but oranges, don't get me started on oranges...:upsidedown:

 

[MountainRecluse]

Now that I'm thinking about it....

...apples are not as aerodynamic as oranges...hense more "fruit wobble" in the air....so oranges my be more accurate....

But if the delivery system for the apple is sent through the air like a football with some spin......it may work for it's oblong shape....

....plus the apple has more of a chance of tumble/yaw upon impact as it's heavier at one end than the other...causing more damage.....hmmmm

 

[MountainRecluse]

It really comes down to velocity...

...apples have the higher velocity while oranges are larger and slower which may lend it to the better knockdown power...

My red ryder bb gun is bigger than yours.

Big block chevelle versus small block corvette. One does better in acceleration, the other does better is cornering. The guy who knows how drive beats the other car.

Concern yourself over the skill more than the tool, or become the tool yourself.........

Seriously folks, let's try to get to the bottom of this.

Which is better?

 

[OldArcher]

Oranges are better for fighting scurvy... Hence, better at keeping your health... However, apples make better pies... Six, or a half dozen of the other... I do like the cross sectional density of the orange vs. that of the apple...

OA, out...

 

[AK_guy]

I believe that the apple has a better ballistic coeffiency, while the orange has more "knock down" power.

I love fruit ...all sorts of fruit...you forgot the pineapple they are bigger but more expensive. Dont forget the grapes you can buy alot of grapes and they are good for practice. One day ill be able to buy a watermellon.........

This is the best AK vs AR debate yet.:

I once thought about getting a mango, but the lack of domestic produce made me change my mind.
I love apples, and though they are not perfect, neither are oranges.
