Question by Christiano: What is the better gun to get an AR15 or a AK47?
I have heard that the ar15 is a good gun but if you don’t have brass bulets then it will jam some times and I have also heard that the Ak47 is an Awesome gun to get and the ammo is cheap and reliable and It will never jam.

Neither, the best rifle you can buy is a Springfield Armory’s M1A1, it is the civilian model of the M14. This gun is deadly accurate at 500 yds with iron sights.

Answer by Eric Renrag
It honestly depends on what you are using it for. You can make an AK pretty accurate, but the AR will be better out of the box. It’s better to use decent ammo for both firearms, but it can get expensive.

I have had both and I would say the I like the AR better for the amount of mods you can make to it. If you don’t keep the AR clean then it will jam no matter what you are using.

Answer by the long shot
Depends on how accurate and how far away you want to nail your target. In the 223 the AR has less knockdown. The AKs shorter ranged 30 cal has more whalup inside 200 meters. Out of the box the AR will beat the AK anyday and even with the AK tuned, it still struggles in accuracy. That is why you never see an AK in any form at a long distance shoot or for varmint shooting. Too innacurate. AK are very reliable when made by the right company, that can be said for ARs but they have less tolerance for dirt. I would suggest you buy a M1 Garand, M1A/M14S or a shotgun for better accuracy or short range defense with better damage doers.

Across its intended range, the AK47 wins. Period. It’s more reliable and hits (a little) harder. The AR15 series has a flawed bolt carrier, which is why it doesn’t do so well when dirty.
