How about a plastic 1911 like an STI or Bul?
Without any doubt I would trust any plastic, aluminum, Ti or steel gun. But that might be 'cause I dont read American Handgunner and Combat Handguns anymore.
An AK over an AR? I must get back to laughing. Reminds me of the old tale of leaving a glock on the dash and coming back to a little blob and a slide. Who thinks this stuff up?
If you can find a volunteer head, I volunteer a Glock to bash it with. Empty chamber of course, and your choice full-size, compact, or sub-compact. Maybe at the next shoot, so there will be lots of pictures.
:wink:
I have a couple rather moronic army freinds i could bring along that would surley agree to getting whacked in the head with a "plastic" pistol.
And yes Tom the AK is way better than the M16. Much more reliable.... cheaper.... easyer to clean..... will always work..... reported cases of the rifle shooting while the barrel was melting from thousands of rounds of full auto.... in all honesty... the ar would fall apart ;)
If i can give the soviets props for anything it's the ak.
The stocks of AR's and M16's have been used to bash in many things and still function.
Who was it that did that test of the suppressor over on ARFCOM probably a year or so ago, and the barrel and the suppressor was red hot and the barrell was sagging and the gun was still shooting? if I remember right that was an M16.
in a crystal clean test lab that might work with an m16, heck might even work at the range.... but once you get down to real fighting.... i doubt the m16 will outpreform the ak. The ak will always work, the m16 a little dirt and your a goner.

This is like the Glock Vs. 1911 threads.
If the AK-47 is so much better, why do the people using it keep losing to the M-16/M-4?
Losers rely on the AK-47. :P
I'm just wondering how this went from a plastic pistol bashing thread to an AK v AR one.
I am just wondering whats up with all the bashing threads lately :wink:
The guys winning dont win cause the m16 they win cause of things like the f-16 or the B-52.....Quote:

And bieng our arrogant selves we (USA) didnt want to give up and tryed to fix it. Instead of just dropping it and going with a beeter rilfe like the G3 or the L85 or even ak47, we kept the mediocre m16 because our pride was going up our butt. ;)
