ROFLMARFOAO!!!!!!!
Rolling On Floor Laughing My AR 15 Owning Ass Off!!!!!!! What kind of a moron PURPOSELY throws sand and gravel into his rifle?? I own quite a few rifles and treat them ALL like gold. Heck I even freaked when a friend of mine set the rifle (New Remington) on its side on the cement and scratched it. Well, for what its worth I hope that guy at least walked away with a lesson learned. Thanks for the post. I now have a new story to share with friends. |

What a Dumbass. Some people have no sense at all. I have both. I like the Ar a hell of alot better than the Ak. I can hit bullseye everytime with AR. If I'm lucky I'll hit the paper with the Ak.

The AK series does have a rep for being reliable, but so does the AR-15. Anyone who does what you describe doesn't need to have a firearm of any sort.

Someone on one of the gunboards did this same thing about six or seven months ago (successfully) and even posted a pic. I suspect this guy may have read that post. The MO is virtually the same. I have four AKs and wouldn't do that. I don't mind thrashing a rifle, but I don't go looking for trouble unnecessarily.

It sounds like that dumbass saw the History Channel piece on the AK. During an interview with Mikail Kalashnikov, he bragged that the AK was designed to withstand a test similar to that the aforementioned dumbass tried.....only he specifically mentioned shaking the loose dirt out and cycling the action before firing.
Details, Details, Details you dumbass. That ruined SAR-1 is just what he deserved short of excluding himself from the gene pool. FWIW, if I would have been the range officer, he would have at least been banned for 1 year. He's lucky it only jammed and destroyed his gun. Saleen |

What a dumb ass , you can throw them in the dirt ; WITH the receiver cover on , AFTER you shake out what dirt and debris that you can ! Glad he wasn't in my unit during Desert Storm . To bad you didn't get a email address from the idiot . Think of all the pointers we could be giving him now !

This is like the Glockaholics who always tell me that they can throw their Glock against the wall and it would still work and ask me if my Sig or my Ruger would do that. I just tell that if I am having to throw my pistol it really doesn't matter much whether it will fire after that, as I am obviously out of ammo and in deep shiite.

"Where's the video camera when you need it, what a dumbass. LMAO"
the video will be rolling at bulletfest III...for the 30' ak drop...and when we run it over with a truck...and when we lond it with dirt...and when we fire it afterwards. rotdorn has volunteered an ak to to the test. all we need is one of you confident ar owners to back up the mouth and donate an ar to go up against it. any takers????? "Anyone who does what you describe doesn't need to have a firearm of any sort." oh...i don't know about that... "Ahhhh.....just rewards! I love to see irritating, ignorant, braggarts get their bubble burst! Wish I could have been there." you got your chance sister...just c'mon down to bulletfest and bring your video gear...that test and 300+ machineguns will be there for your pleasure and entertainment. "He's lucky it only jammed and destroyed his gun." huh??? my guess is a $8 action cover and he'll get another 30,000 rounds out of it. ruined??? takes more than a handfull of dirt to ruin an ak. ok...so who among you wants to toss your pretty little rifle off a 3-storey high roof??? the truck only weighs 2-1/2 tons...anyone with faith in the durability of their aluminum wonders??? drop me an email if you got the brass. |

Campy here is an idea, since you have quite a few ARs and since you consider them worthless why don't you use one of yours?
And everyone else you it is absolutely impossible that what described happen occurred, everyone knows that you can fill the entire action with sand to the point that nothing will move and the AK will still function 100 percent reliably. What we have here is a case of someone believe the myth and legend and not using common sense. |

Got to go with Campy on this one. Bet that AK is back in action in short order. As to the AK accuracy, I venture that my AR is about twice as accurate. That means very little in offhand shooting as they are all more accurate than I could hold them. I can hit a shoulders up silouette all day long at 100 yards with my AK thats plenty accurate enough for me. If I were going to Camp Perry and shooting at 600 for score, no question, My Bushy is it. If it abolutely positively has to go bang and hit within a 6 inch circle every time, I'll trust the AK. What the retard that did this stupid thing forgot was that the action, although one of the most robust in the world, still needs room to move.

I have seen a person who scoped his AK, handloaded ammo for it and got 1-3" groups at 100yards from a bench rest...
Too bad you could do better than that with an Ar-15 and Iron sights... As for this guy, the weapon did not malfunction, his brain did... Talk about a brain fart! SO let's settle this Between The AK and the AR once and for all... We can Line UP 300 of each Rifle's fans and let them shoot at each other at 350+yards... Who ever's left standing wins! Or We can Stand them 25 yards apart through thick jungle and and see whose's bullet actually doesn't deflect that much!!! Oh wait we did that, it was called Vietnam... AK's win!!!!! |

Campy
My intention here was not to flame AK's, I own several myself. The fact of the matter is, this idiot went and purposely dumped sand and rocks into his rifle thinking that it was invincible. I don't care how reliable and ruggedly constructed the Kalashnikov design is, you dump stones into your lower receiver, it jams up, and it bulges out the sides.... you deserve to be mocked and called a dumbass. |

I have had quite a few AKs through the years and fired quite a few more, and also had plenty of experience with M16s and ARs.
I have found them to be about equally reliable...I have not had jamming problems with any factory-assembled AR with anything but shitty Russian steel-cased Barnaul ammo. I have not had major jamming in any AK either, but I have had jams, due to bad ammo, bad mags, and a couple badly-assembled guns (SAR1 and MISR). In my experience, the AK afficianados make too big a deal of the whole reliability angle. |

some of the 58,000+ brave americans that died there would strongly disagree with you. even at the squad level...it's still a "battle". |

tell you what...you put yours up and i'll make rotdorn drop his kalashnikov from 10' higher. how's that for sportsmanship? drops will have loaded mags, empty chamber. after the drop, a safety check and then empty the mag. survivors go to the dirt test and truck smash! this should be fun! i'll video both the drops...and the facial expressions. |

So which part exactly did they win? they lost, by their own estimates, 4 TIMES AS MANY MEN as we did. Then after 10 years of losing more men they signed a treaty to get us to withdrawl. Suddenly after we have no one there they role into saigon and Your friends the liberal, draft dodging pussies in the media proclaimed their victory. Don't listen to everything your communist teachers tell you. Most of it is a lie. Have a nice day.

I would hope they would have been intelligent enough to know that the winning side loses people too. Of course, nowadays Americans are so namby-pamby spoiled that they think it's an outrage if we lose seven men in a battle. |

Like I told Rot I will be deployed by than. Yes 58,000 Americans died, but how many millions of Vietnamese died? But I think it is bad taste for you to mention the Vietnam war or should you really talk about the brave that died since you were giving aid and comfort to those who were their enemies. |

Many people give the AR type weapons grief because of how dirty they get WHOOOPIE! So it gets dirty. One must remember that a Dirty AR is not a malfunctioning AR. That this type of "behavior" is completely normal. I also have both (AR's and Kalash's; note: I did not say "AK") with no problems from either.

Why do I have a feeling that the rifle will be dropped 30 feet in such a manner that it lands flat and horizontal on a soft grassy turf; then it will be driven over with the rifle carefully placed flat and horizontal and evenly supported on the same soft turf, with the low pressure tire carefully striking the reciever trunion or some preplanned, predesignated best supported strongest location; followed up by throwing gravel in the action but removing it all prior to firing.
If I ran this test the rifle would be tossed out at a random angle to land 30' below on a gravel surface ( a fair compromise between grass and concrete) then the vehicle driven over it in the random position it came to lie in when it landed. Pick up a handful of gravel and drop in the ejection port, and cycle the bolt a couple of times prior to firing. No careful 'shake out' allowed to nullify the claim of gravel imperviousness. Now assuming the stock didn't break in the fall, or the reciever wasn't bent too tight to allow the bolt to cycle, or the barrel didn't bend on impact or during the drive over, or the gravel didn't obstruct the bore or lock up the bolt movement.... Assuming all that, lets see somebody actually shoot it and hit something! |

Hey Maynard, I wasn't knocking at all the Americans that died over there. They didn't lose the war, the gov. did. The facts are, no matter how many millions of VC and NVA died, ole Ho Chi took Saigon and the Country didn't he? Sounds like winning to me. Sometimes the winner pays a higher price than the loser. As far as thanking a Vet, well, that will be pretty easy considering I'm an active duty U.S. Army Airborne Infantryman, huh?

Well Ho Chi Minh died long before the North (which is actually from a different ethnic group) broke the armistice that they signed with the US signed to our withdrawal. So he never saw the North take Saigon. Now if you would have posted the Vietnamese had one the war in a different subject there would be no argument, but since you posted in along with the factually incorrect postings of other about how the AK was the cause of VC and NVA victory on the battlefield, which no on can point to a battle in which that was the case. As to your status as a veteran, I don't think either of us technically are veterans since we are both on active duty. |

I've owned both AR's and AK's they both have there pros and cons, as far as I'm concerned the pro's out way the cons heavily in favor of the AR. The AK is known for it's superb reliability but to me that is the only pro they have, you have to be 4'8" to shoot them correctly with their little short stocks and as far as accuracy there is none just spray and pray. I'll give up a little bit of reliability if thats the only thing the AK's may have over the AR's, and oh by the way my AR's have never jammed so I guess the reliability issue is not a factor, and I can knock the socks off gallon size milk jugs at 200 and 300 meters with my AR's with open sights. Try that with your AK.

I hope he never gets it unjammed. Maybe it would teach him a lesson(but I doubt it) You know this AR vs AK thing is getting old. They are both EXCELLENT sytems and both have good and bad points. I've got AK's now, had 3 AR's at one time and getting ready to add another one(soon as I pick a manufacturer),but that's another story. |

Okay STLRN, I was too general there. So HCM didn't personally make it to the party, oh well.Still got a city named after him though. I never implied, nor do I think the other posters did, that the AK was the cause of the North's victory. We all know a multitude of other weapons were used by them. They won not because of the AKs but because they were more committed to the cause than we were. And I did not mean that I am a veteran, but as AD to think I would say stuff to insult those who fought is absurd.
