I went to my friend's farm the other day to shoot some guns. It was my first time shooting an AR-15 and an AK-47 and I enjoyed both very much. I plan on starting my own gun collection when I turn 18 in a few months and I want either the A5-15 or the AK-47 in it. I plan on going back to my friend's farm to shoot some more and compare the two rifles even more, but in the mean time what would be more accurate up to 100 yards, easier to maintain, shoots cheaper and more readily available ammo, reliable, and more fun to shoot?
Here are the pros and cons of each IMO...
AR-15
Pros- light, accurate (scope at 25 yards), little recoil, feels good in the hands, fire power, easy to shoot
Cons- price (min. I found was $600 NEW)
AK-47
Pros- parts available everywhere, reliability, fire power, price (min I found was $350 NEW)
Cons- heavier than AR-15, accuracy? (no scope, iron sights), more recoil
I would like to hear your opinions/experiences with each rifle. I hope it will help me decide. Both were a blast to shoot !
