Do you think the VC did any better?
If we're talking rounds fired vs. soldier killed by gunfire, no. But they played really dirty with horrible booby traps and the like.

You also have to realize that those figures are usually total rounds fired per enemy death. So when a Huey flew by doing gun runs with their miniguns, those rounds count as well.I think I herd it was something like 15,000 rounds expended per VC dead. Damn, thats a lot of bullets per kill.
If I was heading into harm's way I'd much rather have the AR and I hope my adversary had the AK. I'd have the advantage at distance and no disadvantage up close. At least that's the way I see it.

Amazingly it DOES still function, though its not stabilizing the bullets anymore and the bolt must be hammered open.
So hows the receiver?
Any signs that a person shooting the rifle would have been injured during any of this?
??? Isn't an infantry engagement just a rifle match played for keeps? What was the AK designed for, terrorists to harass unarmed civilians?
Great show... Did the gas block scoot back some? In the second picture it looks like a shiny ring in front of it from where it moved.
This is one of the most entertaining threads I have ever seen on here!
Put up a pic of the whole rifle. Are you going to cannibalize it, sell it or what now?
Rare Romanian Krummlauf AK variant. Lightly used, never abused. Less than 100 rounds fired. $500
That's a tall order. FWIW, I'd happily "pay attention" to any gun the OP wants to destroy, be it a Mosin or a Peter Hofer Jagdwaffen. Furthermore, I don't believe the lower will be damaged, so the brand/specs. shouldn't matter much...but then again that's what the test is there for.Yep, but if you test an AR, it's got to be a chart topper if you want anybody paying any attention to the results... so either a Colt or BCM. You can always get one of their uppers and put it on a cheap lower.
I might put it in the For Sale section.
