Valkyrie Hatter Fresnel Valkyrie Hatter Hate to burst your bubble on bashing the AK but theres a video that compares the AR and AK. They shot the AR15 at 2 4x4 wood blocks and the bullet didn't go through. They did the same with AK and the bullet went through with a slight tumble but was still flying relatively straight. That seems biased. I've put 55gr. FMJ .223 through light steel plates. 2 blocks back to back. I would post the video link but I'm on a smart phone so its really time consuming and frustrating. Actually they seemed to favor the AR over the AK because of the smoother firing and range potential. I gotta say, there's nothing like an AR for smooth shooting. That huge buffer tube REALLY helps out. Although the gas up your nose from the charging handle can get a tad distracting.
Anywho, doesn't it seem odd that the caliber best suited for penetration did worse in a penetration test?

Anywho, doesn't it seem odd that the caliber best suited for penetration did worse in a penetration test? take into consideration that the 7.62 is a heavier set bullet so it weight being driven by a mach 3 force makes it a near juggernaut. Wood is also much different that steel or concrete since it a maleable substance.

Das Rabble Rouser Valkyrie Hatter Hate to burst your bubble on bashing the AK but theres a video that compares the AR and AK. They shot the AR15 at 2 4x4 wood blocks and the bullet didn't go through. They did the same with AK and the bullet went through with a slight tumble but was still flying relatively straight. Firstly not bashing the AK. The title of the thread is the title of the video, Secondly you are comparing a .30 bullet to a .22. It's obvious that the .30 does more damage than the .22 but that was not the point of the video. The point of the video is showing that the 7.62x39 isn't an evil heat seeking baby killer that explodes with the force of 10 sticks of TNT that the media would want the public to think. its called sarcasm. A .223 bullet wouldn't have performed much better than the .30 Russian.
