AR's are more accurate than AK's for a reason, the AR-15 is a target rifle, and the AK is a battle rifle. The AR-15 is completely unsuited for battlfield conditions. Soldiers moan about the AR because it FAILS!! Get a little dust in the mechanism and it goes kaput, the AK can be completely rusted over and it'll still function properly. That, and 223 ammo fails to neutralize threats effectively, whereas, the 7.62 kalashnikov does that job spectacularly.
