The flashlight has nothing to do with the gun other than attaching to it.....

The surefire weaponlights have shock isolated bezels, an AK or AR doesn't have much recoil to begin with so you are fine. They designed them to be used on weapons.

You should be fine. BTW, best mod to that set up, is a Malkoff M61. I have on in my M951 and it makes three times the light the P60 bulb.

What about battery life?

I know the P61 drops it to 20 minutes, and the surefire upgrade head is way too much at $300
