Love this guy. If your shooting at someone at yards with an AR your either in a really bad situation or you F'd up royal. Last time I checked Michail wasn't a popular muslim name.
Just clean with Windex or hot water, and oil well. No problem. To answer the OP: 5. I say get at least one in both calibers.
My 2 cents. And it's non-corrosive ammo at that. Last time I checked the AK was invented to defend the motherland against the Nazi's in the last year of WW2, it was adopted in but was designed and prototyped around Also if the AK was so inaccurate why would so many countries continue to use it? Ak's are accurate, not percise but accurate. Also the photo's posted of that AK rusted to all hell, I am willing to bet the cost of an AR that, that gun still fired after the bolt was kicked open.
A fact that no one in their right mind can argue, the AK is responsible for more loss of human life than any other rifle in the world. Hard to argue with success like that. LOL you changed your avatar picture, I thought it was someone else for a second. I thought that was a false statistic since the people conducting it were not counting the ak since it is not an ak-"47".
Just as a heads up the rusted AK shown, was used with a suppressor and not cleaned for quite some time. This didn't happen overnight. Article can be found here. GIs on the line turned their rifles when rotated out of the line for rest because so many weapons were in bad shape due to corrosion from the ammunition and weather conditions. Their weapons were broken down, cleaned and repaired as needed. They would draw replacement weapons. Corrosive ammo can be a major problem in combat when time doesn't exist to do daily operator mainenance.
Funny enough, I bet that AK still worked even in that condition. I have doubts to the round chambering and the pin moving forward with enough power to set off the cap. An AK and a cloak in invulnerability. Holy sheit! You see you learn something new everyday. I had no idea God carried an Ak I thought it was only cherished by Muslims, Dictators, Commies and murderous gangs in sheet- hole 3rd world countries. For hunting deer, your choice may only be 7. For home defense, I would give 5.
In soft targets, 7. The only edge I see with 7. There isn't a a lot of support for 5. I think 7. The two calibers should be about the same, but I see. For target shooting and plinking, 5. If I remember correctly, I read a new story of a guy defending himself against a black bear and taking it down with 5. It's also really cheap as long as there's a steady import of 5. For pure fun, the 5. It's cheap and accurate and fun to put lots of rounds down range that is still hard hitting.
One thing to consider in terms of availability, there was a shortage of 5. I sold my 5. Due to the lack of US manufacturers and very limited support even from Wolf and Tula, all I had was an expensive paper weight. When ammo started to come back in right before Sandy Hook, it was at the same price as 7. Post Sandy Hook, 5. Now that everything has settled down, I see prices coming back to pre-Sandy Hook prices and availability, but I've learned my lesson.
If you're going to go with 5. Until US manufacturers start supporting it, a single tragedy or a new import law or ban and you can kiss that round goodbye or prices will shoot up to.
Thanks for the opinions. Like the idea of the 5. I say get yourself an SKS, stripper clips, and some 7.
