This argument is based on semi automatic firearms only. Please , no discussion of full auto rifles. Thank You.
I was having a friendly debate with a good friend of mine. He's a gun enthiusiast also. To the best of my knowledge he doesnt post here. The debate was of the following- Is the M1 Garand as reliable as the AK rifle? Tacticality aside, firepower aside, mag capacity aside, all things aside but weapon reliability.
Would a GI M1 rifle keep up with the AK rifle in in total round count before catastrophic failure? I argued that I think it would. I used the weapon's legendary track record in combat as the basis of my argument. I did not insult the AK rifle, as that was /is not my goal. My argument is that a GI M1 rifle can keep up with an AK rifle in total round count before catastrophic failure puts the rifle out of commision, making it unable to fire.
What says THR?
