AKs are pretty good.
>Cheap and simple to make
>Easy as hell to field strip and maintain
>Can take a serious beating
>Works well in serious winter weather, can be kickstarted if the bolt carrier freezes shut
>Running it dirty is unlikely to cause issues, meaning even retards can use it extensively

Are there any worse threads than yours right now?
>>30956203
How is this a bait? AK's are not reliable rifles people make them out to be.

Hey I can do that same b8, too.

>>30956222
Your trips are checked. Stale b8 is stale b8.
>>30956190
ARs
>>30956190
Of course there are worse rifles lad-
Why, just look at the AR, FAL, or even G3 series of rifles.
When you have such a reliable and well-rounded firearm as th AK, all others are worse in comparison.
(No need to thank me for helping you understand- we are all here to help!)
>>30956190
There are. The whole AR-15 serie, the Tavor, the FAMAS, the INSAS (note how FAMAS and INSAS rime), the SA80.
>>30956221
Dumb myth. Besides later moders had their issues fixed.
>>30956217
I know this is a bait thread, but I just woke up and this is the first thread I saw.
"AK's are unreliable" is as memey as "AK's are unjammable" or "US soldier in Vietnam threw away their M16s for AKs".
ARs have certain characteristics that make them more able to tolerate certain conditions more reliably than AKs, and vice versa. One particularly excellent attribute of the AK is that in a nightmare scenario that extremely large amounts of dirt does get included inside the action, unjamming it is a far simpler affair, popping off the dust cover and emptying it out, possibly washing it out with some water if the mess is particularly bad. AR-15s, once filthed to the point of jamming, are actually quite a bit more maintenance heavy to get back into working order.

The primary disadvantage of the AK compared to, lets say, the AR-15 platform, is not any perceived "lack of reliability", which is a dubious claim based in youtube videos and personal anecdote. It is its lack of modularity. The AR-15 can swap everything from calibers, to barrel lengths, to gas systems far easier than the AK.
Though if this was just intended to be a meme thread, I could post those too.

School is out and it's a sort of a buzz

Its not the worst. no. But its not what its fanboys make it out to be.

and some might argue the rock and lock mags are less ergonomic to use than straight up and in mags.
>>30956351
>no last round BHO
>wrong side charging handle
Complete non-issues though. No BHO makes it simpler and the charging handle just requires you to tilt the rifle to the left a bit.
>shit iron sights
Good for fast target acquisition in mobile combat. Worse in static shooting than diopter sights. Both are inferior to optics.
>Safety position and/or geometry
How is the safety an issue? Just flick it with your index finger.
>and some might argue the rock and lock mags are less ergonomic to use than straight up and in mags.
I find rock and lock mags easier to insert in shit positions with no sight, wearing clumsy gloves during winter.
None of these things are poor ergonomics.
