Far out performed the AR in the Nam era. Might still be the most commonly used military rifle in the world. http://news.msn.com/world/ak-47-rifle-designer-mikhail-kalashnikov-dead#tscptmf eidolonFIRE 1

The closest American contemporary... no idea who designed it. eidolonFIRE 1 Awards

Died a multi-millionaire, after forming several companies. Guess that's the difference between a socialist state & capitalist. Do I love the AR? Not especially, but if you burn Winchester 748 and just clean the gun w/o oiling, it runs just fine. I certainly wouldn't stand in front of a .556mm. Wouldn't stand in front of a M2 either, but John Browning didn't design toys for children. eidolonFIRE 1 Awards
