Here an AK fails the mud test whereas the AR-15 beats it soundly in the same conditions.

Stop making this stupid fucking thread.

The AK got tons of mud inside it because it is an open system.
The AR didn't because it is closed.

In reality, if you ever submerged a gun in that much mud, both guns would have exploded from a bore obstruction.

It's a stupid test.

It would be like jamming Twinkies through the opening of the dust cover of an AK,
then mashing Twinkies against the closed bolt of an AR.

It only exists to fool retards like you, OP.

>>29415287
There are two different length stocks. I prefer the original over the longer nato as I'm a smaller guy. That being said, you can get an adjustable stock for the ak too.
For me, the ak is just more fun to shoot. I've never had a problem with my ak(700something rounds) or ar(400something) and they have both been fielded in less than desirable conditions.

Congrats, you proved the AR is more resistant to having twinkies pushed into it.
If actual gun designers or militaries though this was a problem, they would just cover the gap.

Only idiots think that filling a gun with mud, or blowing dust directly into its receiver from 3 inches away is something worth testing.
In real world conditions, the AK has earned a reputation for reliability everywhere in the world.
Meanwhile the AR jams on just about every helmet cam video from Iraq and Afghanistan.

AR fags ignore a actual flaw in the test that they are mostly not testing a new AK most the time they are testing some old WASR or yugo model ak against a brand new AR making any test done to compare both rifles inherently flawed and biased towards the AR. Also lets so a AR do that same mud test with the bolt action open then we will see a slightly less biased test. but AR fags will not do such because they know there rifle will jam or not function just as bad as the AK.

Funny, I thought that these rifles were intended for very different operations (if not that, atleast) different methods of integration into combat. AR-15s are meant to be more precise with a smaller round; at distances between 50- 450 meters. Yes, 5.56 is a good round prior to that but with over penetration, fragmentation and its speed being the advantage of the round it's hard to say it's better than its heavier competitors; 300 BLK, 7.62 x 39, etc

The AK is not a precision platform, nor was it intended to be. It works well in CQB ranges, all the way up to 150 w/ ease (it can be accurate up to 400; but as far as ballistics go it arrives with much less power and essentially it is being lobbed after 160). It is a MUCH cheaper variable to the AR platform, which helped it gain approval from a military looking to arm as many soldiers as possible with as little maintenance as possible. The AK is the perfect Joe Infantry rifle; hard working, simple in build/design, great round for punching through most cover (urban, jungle, foliage, and easy to learn on.

The AR is a DSM's rifle; it may need more maintenance on the bench and in between heavy use but it is much more effective at long ranges with shorter intervals (ability of the shooter to aim, fire and reset) than the AK; hence why it costs more money.

In summary, in the field both of these rifles work side by side well enough that there isn't a noticeable different in reliablity; the major difference is the rounds most of these platforms are chambered in; and the intent of the designer. Yes, Ivan, your rifle is good. Yes, John, your rifle is good. Now, children, keep measuring your cocks and I'm sure you'll both realize neither of you are getting laid.
