(nerd science)(stupid gun stuff)

Just watched two videos. Trying under full auto to break AR15 and AK47.

Barrels failed on both guns. But the AR15 at 900 and 3x the rounds of the AK at 300. Why? Because in the time it takes you to change a 30 round mag, the barrel can largely recover, as well as the gas system. If you switch to 50 (AR15) and 75(AK) round mags, the barrel will not have that recovery. The AK heated up much faster than the AR, and then on top of it, they put the AK through a 75 round mag, and then the next 30 round mag wouldn’t feed, and the barrel was curved as hell. The AR barrel busted at the narrow point before the gas outlet.

With the new 416 I prefer the AR simply because it’s so damned easy to shoot. But you know for general badassery the AK still rules.
