That's good for gun manufacturers I guess, because from what I've heard they've had a hard time getting people to buy more AR15's since Trump took office.

AK47's are back up to like 700-900 dollars for basic ass models at the places I'm looking.

This is highway robbery!

Unless you're really budget constrained, I'd always take an AR-15 over an AK-47.

For posting what?

If I'm on a list for saying I'm wanting to buy a gun, I'm pretty sure I'm already on a list for the 10 guns I already bought.

Based on what? It's the superior weapon in almost every way.

I don't understand why people just don't get mini 14's and call it a day. They're cheaper to buy and operate, more comfortable to shoot, and less scary to the people who judge books by their cover.

Less penetration, 5.56 is a lame caliber, stops working if any little debris get into it

I mean, yeah, sure, it shoots farther. But if I want to shoot far I'm gonna get a bolt action rifle.

but the biggest thing is I already own an AR15 so it's boring now.

So you have 10 guns, want another gun, but don't shoot them?


Better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them.

I actually target shoot my pistols, but I don't get to shoot my rifles regularly anymore because of where I moved to

What are you using the AK-47 for that you're worried about penetration?

Having fired both, I really love the AR. The lack of recoil is almost amazing. I can absolutely see why it's as popular as it is and why people are so against banning it.

Well, unless you're this pussy:

AKs have a much lower bolt travel speed and would be open longer than an AR to allow the wildlife to get inside the weapon. Not to mention there is gap between the dust cover and the receiver.

In the video, they cleaned the gun off first to get it to work. The firearm was completely locked up at the end of the test.

The complaint about AR-15s being finicky in conditions is outdated. Fuckers are reliable.

AR15's are fine guns, sure.

And I know a lot of people hate on AK out of some sense of patriotism or something.

But god damn there is just something about an AK I love. It's like a weapon forged out of hell itself.

That being said, I can't ever bring myself to spend 1000 dollars or more for an AK platform rifle. Paying more than 600 is actually kind of hard for me.

IIRC, AK's have been going up in price for the past 3-5 years because AR15's have overtaken them on the market.

That's probably correct, but it's absolutely a thing that happens after mass shootings

https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2018-02-21/bump-stock-prices-rise-online-after-trump-proposes-device-ban

Especially considering how gun sales and company stock prices dropped dramatically under Trump now that Obama is out of office

Oh for sure, it causes an increase in all gun prices.

I'm just talking AK's recent price increase specifically.

Not really. AR15s by their very design are more prone to jams and problems.

It's not as bad as in Vietnam, but then again I doubt most people are using AR15's in Vietnam like conditions as well.

I wouldn't say an AR15 sucks though. AR's and AK's are good for different things.
