Was the AK-47 based on the StG 44?
The StG 44 fulfilled its role effectively, particularly on the Eastern Front, offering a greatly increased volume of fire compared to standard infantry rifles. The StG largely influenced the Soviet AK-47, introduced three years after the war concluded.
Why is the AK-47 so popular?
Since the AK-47 fires a larger round than the standard AR-15, there is a bit more recoil, but it can be easily managed. The AK-47 rifle has a slower cyclic rate than an AR-15, which can be important to people. The AK-47 is a great rifle in my opinion. It is a historic platform that any firearm enthusiast has to love.
What is the difference between the AK-47 and the AR-15?
The AR-15 shoots a smaller round than the AK-47 and, when talking to troops in the field, it is observed that it lacks good “knock down or stopping power” compared to the 7.62×39 round fired by the AK-47. AR-15s are more expensive than the standard AK-47.
Is the AK-47 easy to field strip and operate?
It is very easy to field strip and operate. The AK-47 shoots a 7.62x39mm caliber that penetrates and damages its intended target greater than the caliber shot from an AR-15. With this larger caliber, the AK-47 has greater “stopping power” than the 5.56/.223 round of the AR-15.
