It's crap.

We had this discussion about a week or two ago. Try page 2 to see the arguments.

m4 > ak47

yea, an ak would shoot through dirt, but it can't shoot the broadside of a barn b/c their iron sights suck

Use a more descriptive thread title when you post.

Try searching the forum a bit before requesting something popular, chances are it has been discussed before.

Everyone knows PKM is the best weapon ever produced...it's foolish to think there is a better weapon in all of the universe.

I'd say it's a similar argument made after the M16 was originally fielded in Vietnam without cleaning kits.
Keep 'em clean, run 'em wet and there isn't a problem ..

Caliber is another thing entirely.
Even the USSR reverted back to the AK-47 after initially issuing the AK-74 for A'stan ..
