I'm so tired of people knocking the AK47 for accuracy. It is NOT an inaccurate rifle. I have fired both an AK47 and M16 derivitave. Both were almost the same in terms of accuracy. However, the AR15 jammed a few times while I was using it, the magazine slipped in the magazine well (not to mention the magazine that fell out of the AR15 the guy next to me had), etc. I've also heard they are a bitch to clean. Out of every AK47 derivitave I have fired, I have only ever had one misfire, and that was from bad ammunition. It is so simple to clean, a monkey could do it. There are no small parts to lose. In the end, I would rather have a gun that fires when I pull the trigger, rather than have a 1.5 MOA gun over a 2 MOA gun any day.
