What is the difference between an AK-47 and an AR-15?
The AK and AR are both powerful rifles. The AK-47 is designed for use in warfare. In contrast, the AR-15 on civilian markets now has the average sport shooter and small game hunter in mind. However, the 5.56 NATO rounds of the military AR-15s are more powerful and better rounds than the AKs.
What is the range of an AK 47?
The AK-47 fires a 7.69×39 round (the AK-74, an updated version of the classic, fires the 5.45×39 caliber). Due to its loose tolerances, the AK isn’t known for surgical accuracy. It will group 6 inches or so at 100 yards, with a maximum effective range of about 300 yards. For the AK’s design and purpose, this was deemed good enough.
What is the range of an AR-15?
AR-15s were originally chambered 5.56x45mm. AKs have a maximum effective range of about 300 yards. ARs have a maximum effective range of about 800 yards and beyond. The Russian gun operates with a long-stroke piston.
Why was the AK-47 not used in Vietnam?
It didn’t perform well against the automatic fire of the AK in Vietnam, and it was replaced by the fully automatic AR-15, known now as the M16, in the mid ‘60s. The AK-47, which was attributed to Kalashnikov but designed by a team, is a simple, rugged and reliable large submachine gun.
