some might say the ak47 is the best . but i disagree i own a colt pre ban ar15. and go to my local range a lot. keep in mind my local range is in the middle of a forest. ive only seen rangers there once. we have a 7.62 max rule. but you can see guys melting 50 cal bmg barrels all the time. god help the terrorist if they ever invade the usa. i think the civilians have more firepower then the military minus the nukes. either way i have seen and fired both guns the ak47 is a cheap stamped piece of crap. yeah it shoots a 7.62 round and wont jam very often but you couldnt hit a elephant with it at 300 yards. the ar15 is prone to jams if not cleaned properly . but if kept in good condition it cant be beat . it has a devastating accuracy at 500 meters.
