Narrator on history channel just said that Stoner once told Kalashnikov that K's weapon was the "more reliable of the two"
Guess that ends the controversy.

It has also been said that those who are too poor to afford the M16 get the AK47.

It was just his opinion.
He was insecure and had a small di*k.

So, which round would you rather get hit by [rolleyes].......BWAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAA

Didn't the show say that Kalashnikov's pention is only $50 a month ?
Also didn't the show say that Stoner could afford a personal plane and Kalashnikov could only afford a plane ticket. ?

If it's a Colt, it's a copy of an original ArmaLite.
I am not LARRYG36. Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting. If your AR10 is marked Geneseo, IL, it's still an AR10 no matter what some people say. |

I'm not sure I understand how much you get paid has to do with how well your weapon design works.

Let me add: I only reported what the narrator said. I dont even know if its true.
I agree with SGTAR and I own both weapons. If the SHTF I will grab my AK first.
Several thousand rounds NO malfunctions.
My AR on the other hand has had the occasional problem. Had to replace Ex. spring after couple thousand rounds. It was a little finicky at first.
When I go to the range, I bring my AR. Its more accurate and far more sexy. Tha AK(5.45) is close to the AR's accuracy. Could it kill at 100 yards as easily? You bet.
I like my AR more than my AK by a wide margin. But I dont use it as tool, more as a toy. As a tool, I would prefer an AK.JMHO

And if you had a choice between a Ford Escort station wagon and a new Cobra Mustang, and the sales guy said the Escort was more reliable......Which one would you get?

Do Toyota R&D guys in Nagakute Japan buy your products?

Just so you know where I'm coming from on this, I have 3 AR's and 1 AK.
I watched the same show and it seemed pretty much everybody said the AK was more reliable.
Okay, you can set the oven to MilkMan now.

SHTF and I can only grab one rifle? I'm grabbing the scoped M1A. Hell, I ain't no hero! I'll take the bad guys out from a distance and run (if I can).

The best part of that whole meeting between the two was Stoner stating "Everyone was happy with their 20rd (M16) magazines, until they saw that the AK had a 30rd magazine. Now all they wanted was 30rd magazines"
Funny because all I want is 30rd magazines too.

You guys are comparing blue berries to black berries when you could be talking about apples and oranges: M1 Garand and FN FAL. Both are extremely reliable and both shoot a cartridge that will do real damage.
On the other hand, I do love my ARs [;)]

Yeah, the M16 has a bad rap when it was "newer"... seems that the quality & reliability are pretty darn good to me now though.

Unless you have a spare quad of guys around to back you up, you are in some serious trouble now. Whereas, if you had let them go along their way (presuming they are not moving directly toward your home already) you might continue to live on in stealth, un-noticed by the bad guys and with a much higher chance of surviving the day.

Just because the History Channel said Stoner made such a statement doesn't make it true. Did Stoner say this to the History Channel people before he died? Is this comment recorded on video or audio tape?
Was this comment made by Kalashnikov? Can he be trusted?
If Stoner did make this comment, was he being nice? I myself have made flattering comments to ALL SORTS of people that were not even remotely true. Comments to employers, women, relatives, etc.
Perhaps he felt sorry for the wretchedly poor bastard, Kalshnikov. Maybe he was just trying to make him feel better and lessen his misery.

"Kalashnikov is *still* a hard-line Communist after all these years, even though he's totally poor because of it."
