[Guns]AK74 or AK47

[link_]

Which would you choose?

I am leaning towards AK74 because of the cost of ammo and the fact that the Spetznaz are now using this (which makes it awesome).

I can get a new version of each for about $400-500.

AK47, surplus ammunition is super cheap.

AK74: better design, better round.

ak74 surplus is much cheaper than ak47

5.45x39 is ~$150 for 1000rds
7.62x39 is ~$250 for 1000rds (for crap stuff)

Tough call.

I'd go with AK47 simply because they're so prevalent.

In Cod4 the AK47 was easier to control and was best used at medium range.
The Ak74 was a little more on the spraying side and was best used at short range.

Seriously though. AK47 is a legend, everyone knows it. I think it'd be neat to say I had one.

Where would one get these weapons? I am assuming they are legal as long as they aren't full auto?

Pretty much any dealer or private owner.

Looks like it is made out of plastic.

It's actually one of the more higher quality "mass produced" AKs out there.

Isn't AK47 famous mostly due to reliability (Well, reliability to cost ratio)? You can pretty much pull it out of a sandbag, cover it with mud and it still won't jam.

Is the 74 following same footsteps?

 

[absent]

No, it's not reliable. The receiver takes in a shitload of mud/dust/whatever because the bolt is so huge. If you ever actually served in the Finnish military, you'd know this...

7.62 caliber is the shit, you want maximum carnage and a guarantee that the person won't get up.

But I didn't. I was sitting @ home while you were crawling through mud. bwahaha, suck it.

ps. I said "reliability to cost ratio".

Get a Romanian WASR-10.

Classic Arms Inc.

Or if you want higher quality/slightly higher price, go for the Polish Tantal

AK74. It is more accurate (fuck being a jew about ammunition prices). You want to be able to hit what you're shooting at and the 5.45s are more accurate.
