Which is better, a wider bullet or a narrow bullet?
Which is better, a faster bullet or a slower bullet?

Weak bait.

7.62x39 and 7.62x51are completely incomparable, as they are used for different purposes. It's like trying to compare sharks and lions asking which one is the better predator.

>>29469198

What kind of bullet selection can you get in Russia for the 5.45x39?

To test your theory, I caught a shark, jumped in a helicopter, and tossed it into the middle of the Serengeti. Bitch got eaten in like, 36 seconds flat.

Hugely disappointing.

Well, in the end result no. But I'd like to see someone use a 7.62x39 to hit a target beyond 500 yards.

x51 has the best power and range but is also the heaviest and near uncontrollable in full auto.
smaller calibers make more sense for infantry to carry more ammo and use suppressive tactics but for a civilian a full size cartridge is far more versatile.

I'm curious about this too, though I am okayly informed about the weaknesses of 5.56. But on the flipside...

Does 5.45 benefit decently from a barrel a bit longer than 16 inches?

>>29470001
Well, the guy in the brighter red / not-so-dull-red hat does look rather Nilotic, and the guy in the blue uniform looks a bit unusual too.

If I had to guess, I'd say Kenya, it's a freaking highway of refugees and guerrillas.

Despite my love-affair with 7.62x39, I'm going to second this guy for reasons.
